It is recommended that you do not apply the parking brake in very cold conditions (ice) and during towing (recover y...). To do this, release the parking brake manually, select position A or R , then press the START/STOP switch to stop the engine.
The electric parking brake combines 2 operating modes: - Automatic Application/Release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (this mode is activated by default), - Manual Application/Release Manual application of the parking brake is done by pulling control lever A. Manual release is done by pulling then releasing the control lever, while pressing the brake pedal . When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Programming the automatic mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated. You can contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have it activated.
In this case, programming is done via the configuration menu.
Electric parking brake
If deactivated, the parking brake must be applied and released manually. If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.
Never leave the vehicle without checking that the parking brake is on.
This warning lamp comes on fixed (not flashing).

With the ignition on or the hybrid system active, to release the parking brake, press the brakepedal , pull then release control lever A . The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by:
Manual release
- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A going off, - the display of a message.
If you pull the control lever A without pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and a message appears in the instrument panel.
If necessary, you can make a maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on control lever A , until you see a message and an audible signal is heard. Maximum application is essential: - in the case of a vehicle towing a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually, - when the slope you are parked on may vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during towing).
Maximum application
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on fixed, not flashing.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the hybrid system is active or not, pull control lever A .
Manual application
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A , - the display of a message.
When the driver’s door is opened with the hybrid system active, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied.

With the hybrid system activated, press button 1 . The activated/deactivated status when the engine was switched off is retained when the engine is switched on again. The strip retracts automatically 3 seconds after switching off the engine except in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
Activation / Deactivation
 With the hybrid system active, adjust the brightness of the information using button 3 : - towards the rear to increase the brightness, - towards the front to decrease the brightness.
Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are only made using these buttons when the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no objects should be placed around the transparent strip (or on its cover) to avoid blocking the strip output and preventing its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...) the head-up display may not be legible or may suffer temporary interference. Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information. To clean the transparent strip, use a clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent products as these could scratch the strip or damage the anti-reflection coating.
Height adjustment
 With the hybrid system active, adjust the display to the required height using button 2 : - towards the rear to move the display up, - towards the front to move the display down.

153Driving
When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position: the cruise control mode is selected but is not switched on (Pause).  Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph
(110 km/h)); the cruise control system is activated (ON).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Exiting cruise control mode
 Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4 .
Operating fault
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 : - by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, - in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press. If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to the corresponding section.
Programming
 Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4 : this is confirmed in the screen (Pause).
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen. Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on. Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
