PARKING BRAKE (continued)
Particular cases
If you have to park on a slope or
when the vehicle is towing a
caravan or a trailer, keep handle 1
pulled out for a few seconds to
obtain maximum braking.
To park with the parking brake
released (risk of freezing for
example):
- stop the engine by pressing the
engine start/stop button;
- select a gear (manual gearbox) or
position P (automatic gearbox);
- pull handle 1 whilst pressing the
unlocking button 2 and release it;
- remove the RENAULT access card
from the card reader.
Temporary stop
The parking brake is not applied
automatically when the engine is
running.
In all cases, the parking brake can be
applied manually, e.g. when
stopping at a red light or on a slope.
To do this, pull out and release
handle 1.
The brake will be released
automatically as soon as the vehicle
starts again and accelerates.
When the engine is
running, and if you leave
the vehicle, you must
apply the parking brake
manually.
Indicator lights 3 on the
dashboard and indicator light 4
on the instrument panel light up
to confirm that it is applied.
