To apply the parking brake, firmly pull up the parking brake lever. If there is a large slope of the road, you should additionally engage the first gear or set the automatic transmission parking lock mode. The parking brake lever must always be lifted up to the stop, in order to then exclude movement with the parking brake not fully lowered due to an oversight.
When the vehicle is braked with the parking brake and the ignition is on, the parking brake and brake fluid level warning light comes on and a buzzer sounds.
To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the lock button and release the lever all the way down.
