Emergency unlocking In the event of the electric 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 e c h a -
nism 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), posi-
tion P (automatic gearbox) or M
or R (6-speed electronic gear-
box).
Switch off the engine, but leave
the ignition on.
If the vehicle cannot be immo- bilised, do not do anything and
contact a CITROËN dealer with-
out delay.
Fetch the vehicle blocks E and
the unlocking tool F (handle)
from the toolbox.
Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks E 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
on the
carpet in front of the seat.
Pierce the tab C on the tube D
with the unlocking tool F .
Place the end of the handle F in
the tube D .
Turn the unlocking tool F 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 tool F and
store it with the blocks E 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 to ol F is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of th e plug.

s p a c e :
Press button A to select the func-
tion.
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
During the measuring, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
The system informs you of the
l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u -
vre via a message on the multi-
function screen accompanied by
a gong.
Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre.

Parking not advised
The function displays the following
t y p e s o f m e s s a g e : The function deselects itself auto-
m a t i c a l l y :
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- w i t h i n fi v e m i n u t e s o f s e l e c t i o n o f
the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approx.
70 km/h) for one minute.
If there is a malfunction,
have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
- The function remains available
after each measurement and
thus can measure more than
one space during your search.
- In bad weather conditions or in winter, make sure that the sen-
sors are not covered by dirt, or
by ice or snow.
- The parking space sensor func- tion deactivates the front park-
ing assistance during the space
measuring phase when you are
in forward gear.

Coolant level
Draining the system
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (approx. 1 000 km).
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is
regulated by the fan. This can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, un-
screw the cap by two turns to al-
low the pressure to drop. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.
