Hello, how do you do it for a 6 bmp box to deactivate the electric brake? Do you have to iron the case after assembly as we can read here and there please?

Hello, for the electric brake, with the car stationary, press the start button without starting, keeping the gear on P, foot on the brake pedal, push the handbrake trigger twice in a row. The parking brake is deactivated.

Good morning,

Turn on the ignition without using the clutch, the engine does not start.

Manually release the brake, then turn off the ignition.

The automatic brake does not activate when the engine is switched off.

Good morning,

On my car which has a manual gearbox, under the fabric of the gear knob I have a cable that I pull to unlock the rear wheels, also useful in the event of a flat battery.
