Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can choose to:

- move to position N to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle.

In both cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must place the gear lever in neutral N.

Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
