What is the assisted parking brake and how to use it on a Dacia Sandero?

Model: Dacia Sandero B8 - Years 2012-2020
Part: Parking brake

The assisted parking brake engages automatically when the engine stops or the vehicle is stationary with the driver's door open or the seatbelt unfastened; the instrument display shows the message "P" indicating the brake is engaged. The assisted parking brake releases automatically when the vehicle is started by gently pressing the accelerator. It is important to note that this brake does not activate when the vehicle is parked, especially if parked on a slope; in that case, it is crucial to hold the handbrake for a few seconds to achieve maximum force. Again, the instrument display shows the message "P" indicating that the brake is functioning correctly and is active.
