Dynamic emergency braking If a failure of the ESP sys-

tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release"
actions on control A.
The dynamic emergency

braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.
In the event of a failure of the vehicle’s

main braking system or in an excep-
tional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following IX
messages will be displayed on the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
