Parking brake
The parking brake prevents the car from rolling
away from stationary by means of mechanically
locking/blocking two wheels.
Function
A faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrically-controlled parking brake is being
applied. The noise can also be heard during the
automatic function checking of the parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake is
applied then it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is
applied when the car is moving then the normal
foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts on all four
wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear
wheels when the car is almost stationary.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low then the parking
brake can neither be released nor applied. Con-
nect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too
low, see Jump starting with another battery
(p. 275).

1. Depress the foot brake pedal firmly.

constant glow the parking brake is

3. Release the foot brake pedal and make sure
that the car is at a standstill position.

tor in position

Emergency brake
In an emergency the parking brake can be
applied when the vehicle is in motion by pressing
and holding the parking brake control. The brak-
ing procedure is stopped when the control is
released.

braking is active at high speeds.
