parking brake is automatically applied.

ing the following actions:

Braking more strongly than automatic brak‐
ing
R
Fully depressing the accelerator pedal with
force

dren are traveling in the vehicle

child in the child restraint system may have seri‐
ous consequences. Always be diligent in secur‐
ing a child carefully before every journey.
