R (6-speed electronic gearbox),
then switch off the engine.
If it is impossible to immobilise the vehicle, do not action the
control and urgently contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Fetch the vehicle blocks and the
unlocking device (braided cable)
from the toolbox.

toolbox.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the
ignition is switched off then on
again. If the reinitialisation of the

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.

HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle
immobilised temporarily (approxi-
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, these warning lamps come
on. Contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r neutral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you re-
lease the brake pedal.
do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill
start assist phase.
If you need to exit the ve-
hicle with the engine running,
