DRIVING
Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the vehicle’s
main braking system or in an excep-
tional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed in the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the il-
lumination of this warning
lamp, then braking stability
is not guaranteed. In this event, sta-
bility must be assured by the driver
by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on control lever A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.
