In this video, you will see how to manually disable the electronic handbrake in case of an emergency on a Renault Scenic. As the YouTuber mentions, the electronic handbrake is great when it works, but when there is a malfunction, it can be quite a hassle.

Fortunately, on the Scenic, there is a method to deactivate it. Go to the boot, where you will find a yellow emergency lever: pulling it will deactivate the handbrake, allowing you to drive, but you will be without a handbrake, which must be reset using the button located at the bottom left of the panel, as shown in the video.

In his case, this was precisely why the handbrake had malfunctioned, so he had to replace it.
