Brakes

VehicleswithAutomaticTransmission The system turns on when you switch the ignition on and you cannot switch the system off.

The systemmakes it easier to pull away when your vehicle is on a slopewithout the need to use the parking brake. When the system activates, your vehicle remains stationary on a slope for a few seconds after you release the brake pedal. This allows you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The brakes release when the engine has developed sufficient torque toprevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space. The system activates on any slope that causes your vehicle to roll. Note: There is no warning lamp to indicate 1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed and shift into first gear when facing uphill or reverse (R) when facing downhill. 2. The system activates if the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope. 3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle remains on the slopewithout rolling away for a few seconds. This hold time increases if you are in the process of driving off. 4. Pull away in the normal manner. Switching the SystemOn and Off Vehicles withManual Transmission You can switch this feature on or off in the information display.
