Emergency braking

If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide

eﬀective braking or in exceptional circumstances

(e.g. driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle

can be braked by sustained pulling on the

electric parking brake control. Braking continues

for as long as the control is kept pulled, and

ceases when the control is released.

The gearbox manages gear changes

according to the style of driving, the road

proﬁle and the vehicle load.

M. Driving in manual mode

The driver changes gear using the steering-

mounted controls.

The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle

during emergency braking.

If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
