When testing these vehicles, you must apply the brake at all times when the engine is running.

Pressing the accelerator

If the drive modes ‘R', 'A' or 'M’ are selected, the electronic parking brake will disengage automatically as soon as the accelerator is pressed.

This can cause the vehicle to move forward and come off the ramp.

This could have very dangerous consequences, including serious injury or death in extreme circumstances.

Take extra care when you press the accelerator on vehicles with an electronic gearbox.

You or a colleague should sit in the vehicle with the foot brake applied while the engine is running.
