Assisted operation

The assisted parking brake immobilises the vehicle when stopping the engine (and not when the engine is on standby for vehicles fitted with the Stop and Start function). Please refer to “Starting, stopping the engine” and “Stop and Start function” in Section 2.

In all other instances, e.g. engine stalling, the electronic parking brake is not applied automatically. Manual mode must be used.

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with an injection pump which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.

If the message “Check antipollution system” is displayed along with warning lights Ä and ©, consult an authorised dealer immediately.

The following operating conditions:

- using leaded petrol;

- using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
