Putting into operation after a power failure
Putting the parking brake into operation
The parking brake should only be put into
operation again if it was manually released due
to an interruption in the supply of electrical
power. Otherwise the operation of the parking
brake is not ensured and there is a danger of the
vehicle rolling despite the parking brake being
set.◀
Procedure
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Press the button with the brake depressed.
The indicator lamp in the
instrument
cluster goes out as soon as the parking
brake is ready for operation.

models.
Any noises which occur are normal. Startup may take several seconds.
