Brakes The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the risks when: • You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. • Your vehicle is hydroplaning. • You take corners too fast. • The road surface is poor. Note: When you apply the electric parking brake in certain conditions, for example on a steep hill, the electric parking brake may reapply the brakes within three to ten minutes. As a result, you may notice various noises when you apply and release the electric parking brake. This is normal and no cause for concern. Note: The electric parking brake will not automatically apply. You must apply the electric parking brake using the electric parking brake switch. ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE The electric parking brake replaces the conventional handbrake. The operating switch is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. WARNING Always set the parking brake and leave your vehicle with the transmission in park (P).

Have the system checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Note: The brake system warning lamp will illuminate for ten seconds if you switch the ignition off after you apply the electric parking brake, or you apply the electric parking brake after you switch the ignition off.
