SituationsConsequences
To apply the electric parking brake: immobilise the vehicle and switch off the ignition. pull the control for at least 5 seconds or until application is complete. switch on the ignition and check that the electric parking brake warning lamps come on. The application is slower than during normal operation. To release the electric parking brake: switch on the ignition. pull the control lever and hold it for approximately 3 seconds then release it. If the braking warning lamp is flashing or if the warning lamps do not come on with the ignition on, these procedures will not work. Place the vehicle on level ground and have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
and possibly
flashing
Display of the message " Parking brake fault " and of the following warning lamps: - Only the automatic application on switching off the engine and automatic release on acceleration functions are available. - The manual application/release of the electric parking brake and the emergency braking are not available.
and possibly

Special situations
In the event of a malfunction of the parking brake in the on position or a battery failure, manual release remains possible. To ensure correct operation, and so your safety, the number of successive applications and releases of the parking brake is limited to eight cycles. If used excessively, you are alerted by the message "parking brake faulty" and a flashing warning lamp.
In some circumstances (engine start...), the parking brake may adjust the level of application itself. This is normal operation. To move your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pulling then releasingthe control lever A . Complete release of the parking brake is indicated by the warning lamps in the control lever A and in the instrument panel going off and by the display of the message "Parking brake off ".

Engagement of reverse gear is accompanied by an audible signal. If you leave the vehicle, place the gear
selector in position N and then you must stop the hybrid system by switching off the ignition ( Ready lamp off).
If the engine does not start:
Displays in the instrument panel
N Neutral R Reverse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Gears in manual mode A This comes on when automated mode is selected. It goes off on changing to manual mode.
Place your foot on the brakewhen a message appears in the instrument panel screen.
Moving off
A and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel screen.
Automatic mode
A appears in the instrument panel screen. A appears in the instrument panel screen. A
The gearbox is then operating in auto-active mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear, depending on the:
- style of driving, - profile of the road.
For optimum acceleration, for example when overtaking another vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
To start the engine, place the gear selector in position N . Press the brake pedal down fully. Start the hybrid system.
After starting the vehicle, select position Afor enter automatic mode.
Select a drive mode (position M or A ) or A ) or Areverse (position R ). R ). R Release the parking brake by pulling the control lever, if automatic operation has been deactivated. Progressively release the brake pedal. If the parking brake is released, the vehicle moves off. If the parking brake is applied and automatic mode is activated, accelerate progressively.
- If N is flashing in the instrument panel, move the gear selector to position A A Athen to position N .
- If the message "Foot on brake" is displayed, press the brake pedal f i r m l y.

Manual gear changing
When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode. Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddles.
A disappears and the gears engaged appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
This selective gear change mode enables you to overtake, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode. Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. A is still displayed in the instrument panel. After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
Manual mode
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised (foot on the brake). A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode,
the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
The gear change commands are only carried out if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.

The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
Under-inflation alert Operating fault
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the message appears, according to equipment, to identify it. Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
If you have a compressor (the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example), check the four tyre pressures when cold. If it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed. or In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment).

Head-up display
System which projects information onto a transparent strip in the field of vision of the driver so that they do not have to take their eyes off the road. This system operates when the hybrid system is active and the settings are stored when the ignition is switched off.
1. Head-up display on / off. 2. Display height adjustment. 3. Brightness adjustment.
Once the system has been activated, the information projected in the head-up display is: A. The speed of your vehicle. B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
Displays during
operation
C. Navigation information (depending on version) which appears in blue while in electric mode.
For more information on the navigation system, refer to the "Audio and telematics" section.

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.
