Parking brake - emergency

disengagement

In the event that the parking brake cannot be

released (e.g. if the car becomes de-energised)

it can be released manually/mechanically to

make it possible to move the car - proceed as

follows:

1. First, make sure that the rear wheels are

blocked in some way, e.g. with chocks or

similar.

2. Fold the backrest on the left-hand rear

seat.

3. Look between the backrest and under the

cargo area floor and pull out the line with

handle.

4. Grasp the handle and gently pull up, pull

until a "click" can be sensed - by these

means the parking brake is released and

the car can be moved.

WARNING

Chock the wheels before the parking brake

is disengaged manually - otherwise the car

could start to move uncontrollably.

•

Use chocks for the rear wheels.

Parking lock - manual release

In the event of power failure with the gear

selector in P position, the car cannot be

moved. If the car then needs be rolled away or

recovered, the gearbox's mechanical inhibitor

can be disengaged manually. This requires a

so-called "Recovery cable" which comes with

the car and is stored in the cargo area.

First, the electric motor's cover must be

removed - proceed as follows:

The motor cover's attachment points.

1. Grasp the edge of the cover at (A) and (B)

and pull it straight up a few centimetres -

the cover is released from its two front

studs.

2. Grasp underneath the edge of the cover at

(C) and (D) and pull it straight up a few cen-

timetres - the cover is released from its two

rear studs and is now fully released.

3. Set the cover aside.

WARNING

There is little space around the electric

motor's cover, and there are sharp edges.

•

Use protective gloves.
