Emergency unlocking In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery
r u n n i n g fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n u a l
device can unlock the parking brake.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the
e n g i n e r u n n i n g , b y e n g a g i n g fi r s t
gear (manual gearbox), position
P (automatic gearbox) or M or
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.
Immobilise the vehicle by plac-
ing blocks at the front and at the
rear of one of the rear wheels.
Slide the front left-hand seat
back as far as possible.
L i f t u p t h e fl o o r p l u g B in the car-
pet under the seat.
Pierce the tab C on the tube D
with the unlocking device.
Place the unlocking device in the
tube D .
Turn the unlocking device clock-
wise. For safety reasons
, it is
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 ig-
nition is switched off then on
again. If the reinitialisation of the
parking brake proves impossi-
ble, 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 of the vehi cle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emer-
gency unlocking has been deployed and the manual control doe s 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.
Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of th e plug.

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 station-ary, 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 oc-
curs, 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,

Check that the gear lever is in
neutral.
Do not touch the accelerator.
For Diesel engines: turn the key
to position M and wait until the
pre-heating warning light switch-
es off if it has come on.

(6-SPEED) ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The (6-speed) electronic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of two
driving modes:
- the automatic mode for auto-
matic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manu-
al changing of the gears by the
driver.
automatic mode: selector 2 in
position A .
manual mode: selector 2 in posi-
tion M .
In automatic mode, instant manual
operation is possible any time you
action one of the levers 1 .
Mode selection
Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is stationary with the
engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear
Push the gear lever to the right
then rearwards.
