C. fog lamps selection ring.
The fog lamps operate with the side
lights and the dipped and main beam
headlamps.
- 1 st turn forwards: lighting of rear foglamp.
- 1 st turn rearwards: extinction of rear foglamp. - 1 st turn forwards: lighting of front
foglamps.
- 2 nd turn forwards: lighting of rear foglamps.
- 1 st turn rearwards: extinction of rear foglamps.
- 2 nd turn rearwards: extinction of front foglamps.
Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front fog lamps and
the rear fog lamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
fog lamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
fog lamps and the rear fog lamp
when they are no longer neces-
sary.
Lights on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lights, with
the ignition off and in manual lights
mode.
In this case, switching off the lights
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

Release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press on the brake pedal, pull then
release control A .
The full application of the parking
brake is confi rmed by: - the extinction of the warning lamp on control

A and of warning lamp P
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "parking brake released" on the multifunc-
tion screen.
If you pull control A without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake
will not be released and the "Foot on
brake" warning lamp will light up on
the instrument panel.
When stationary, with the
engine running, do not
press the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily, as you may
release the parking brake. Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise
maxi-
mum application of the parking
brake. It is obtained by means of
a long pull on control A , until you
see the message "parking brake ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on
a ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient,
turn the front wheels towards the
pavement and engage a gear
when you park,
- after a maximum application, the release time will be longer. Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting
the engine), the parking brake can
automatically alter its force. This is
normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake
by pulling then releasing
control A .
The full release of the parking brake
is confi rmed by the extinction of
warning lamp P (red) on the instru-
ment panel and the display of a
message "parking brake released"
on the multifunction screen.
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible.

essential to continue turning the
device as far as it will go or until
you hear a knocking noise. The
parking brake is released.

 Remove the unlocking device
and store it with the blocks in the
toolbox.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the
ignition is switched off then on
again. If the reinitialisation of the
parking brake proves impossible,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer
than during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is essential to cont act a CITROËN dealer urgently to have the plug
replaced.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation o f the vehicle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emergency
unlocking has been deployed and the manual control does not allow the re-application of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on control A , or stopping starting the engine while the unlocking de vice is engaged.
