Step 1. To use the pram without the auto brake, please ensure the Auto brake red light on the handle is off, meaning not highlighted red on the handle bar when it is switched off. Step 2. If the auto brake ( highlighted red light on the handle ) is on and the auto brake is switched off, the pram auto brake will remain in lock mode, meaning you will be unable to push the pram while it is off. simply switch the auto brake back on and follow the process mentioned in step 1. Note: The reason the lock mode remained on in step 2 is so that the pram is not push accidentally even when off. This is just in case the manual foot brake wasn't applied.
