MANUAL PARKING BRAKE
Mechanical device for immobilising
the vehicle when stationary. This warning lamp comes
on if the parking brake is en-
gaged or not fully released.
If the parking brake is released,
the lighting of this warning lamp
along with the STOP warning lamp
i n d i c a t e s a n i n s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l o f
b r a k e fl u i d o r a m a l f u n c t i o n o f t h e
braking distribution.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Application
Pull the parking brake to immobi-
lise your vehicle.
To facilitate the action on the lever,
you are recommended to press the
brake pedal at the same time.
In all circumstances, as a
precautionary measure,
e n g a g e fi r s t g e a r .
On steep gradients, turn the steer-
ing wheel towards the pavement. Release
Press on the end of the lever
whilst pulling it then lower it fully.

Release
With the ignition on or the engine
running, to release the parking
brake, press on the brake pedal,
push then release control A .
The full application of the parking
b r a k e i s c o n fi r m e d b y : - the extinction of the warn-ing lamp on control A and
of warning lamp P on the
instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the instru-
ment panel display.
If you push control A without press-
ing the brake pedal, the parking
brake will not be released and the
message "Foot on brake necessary"
will be displayed 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 "Max application of the
parking brake" 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 (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 parking
brake
by pushing then releasing
control A .
The full release of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y t h e e x t i n c t i o n o f
warning lamp P (red) on the instru-
ment panel and the display of a
message "parking brake released"
on the instrument panel display.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied or if the battery
r u n s fl a t , an emergency release is
always possible.
To guarantee correct operation of
the parking brake and therefore
your safety, the number of succes-
sive application/release operations
is limited to eight.
If this number is exceeded, you are
warned by the message "Parking
brake faulty" and a warning lamp
fl a s h e s .

the centre armrest by pulling it.
Ensure that the cup holder B is
retracted.
Remove the rubber mat covering
the base of the armrest. This strap does not permit
application of the parking
brake.
To re-engage the electronic parking
brake (after rectifying the malfunc-
tion or battery failure), give a long
pull on the control A until the park-
i n g b r a k e w a r n i n g l a m p ( ! ) fl a s h e s
on the instrument panel then give a
second long pull until this warning
lamp is lit permanently.
The time required for the subse-
quent application may be longer
than during normal operation.
It is essential that the ignition is
not switched on until the parking
b r a k e h a s r e - e n g a g e d ( fl a s h i n g o f
the warning lamp (!) on the instru-
ment panel then warning lamp lit

dust in the proximity of the diagnos-
tic socket D which is essential for
the maintenance of your vehicle.

Pull the strap to release the
b r a k e . A l o u d k n o c k c o n fi r m s t h e

D R I V I N G Never select positions P or
R if the vehicle is not sta-
tionary.
If, while the vehicle is mov-
ing, position N is engaged inad-
vertently, allow the engine to idle
before engaging position D or M .
Moving off
To start the engine, the selector
has to be in position P or N .
Action the starter.
When the engine is running,
place the selector on R , D or M
as required.
Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.
Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
To avoid incoherence between
the position of the selector and
the actual position of the gear-
box, always exit from position P
when you switch on the ignition
and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:
reposition the selector in position P ,
put your foot on the brake ped-
al and then select the gear you
want. Park
This position of the selector
is used to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving when you
are stationary.
To select position P, move the
selector back to the highest po-
sition (towards R ), then push it
forwards and then to the left.
To exit position P , move the se-
lector to the right and then to the
position you want.
Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the selector is correctly po-
sitioned. Reverse gear
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Neutral Never select position N if
the vehicle is moving.
