Parking brake
The concept
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up red, a sound is issued
and the brake lights light up.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electrome‐
chanical parking brake that can be set and re‐
leased by using a button.
Indicator lamp in Canadian models.
The parking brake is primarily used to prevent
the vehicle from rolling when it is parked.
When the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake
acts on the rear wheels via an electromechanical
mechanism. When the vehicle is rolling or being
driven, the parking brake acts on the disc brakes
of the front and rear wheels via the hydraulic
brake system.
When the vehicle is braked almost to a halt, ap‐
prox. 2 mph/3 km/h, the parking brake remains
set.
Releasing
Take the remote control with you
Take the remote control with you when
leaving the vehicle so that children, for example,
cannot release the parking brake.◀
Theparking brake canonlybe released whilethe
ignition is switched on or the engine is running.
