Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your 
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to 
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is 
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate 
the need to brake and increase the distance 
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage 
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the 
electrical systems of your vehicle.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
 
c
 heck that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves 
that might be generated by other users,
-  
d
 eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-  
d
 rive as slowly as possible without 
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph 
(10   km/h),
-  d o not stop and do not switch off the 
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as 
circumstances allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied - Risk of overheating and 
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle 
is very hot, even several minutes after 
switching off the engine, do not park 
or run the engine over areas where 
inflammable substances and materials 
are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised 
with the engine running. If you have 
to leave your vehicle with the engine 
running, apply the parking brake 
and put the gearbox into neutral or 
position
 
N or P, depending on the type 
of gearbox.

Electric parking brake
In the event of a battery failure, the 
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking 
brake is not applied, immobilise the 
vehicle by engaging a gear (with a 
manual gearbox) or placing a chock at 
one of the wheels.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and in the control 
lever to confirm the application of the 
parking brake.
The system provides, in automatic operation, 
the application of the parking brake on 
switching off the engine and release as the 
vehicle moves off.
The driver can take over at any time to apply 
or release the parking brake, by operating the 
control lever:
-
 
b
y briefly pulling  the control lever to apply 
the brake,
-
 
b
y briefly pushing  the control lever, while 
pressing the foot brake, to release.
Automatic mode is activated by default.
The technology adopted for the electric 
parking brake does not allow the fitment 
of 15 inch wheels. It goes off to confirm the release of the parking 
brake.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes 
during manual application or release.
After the parking brake has been applied, the 
simultaneous flashing of the two indicator 
lamps in the instrument panel and the control 
lever alerts you to the need to fully secure your 
vehicle by engaging a gear (with a manual 
gearbox) or by placing the gear selector 
in position P with an automatic gearbox, 
or by fitting a chock to one of the wheels. 
(E.g.
 
parking on a very steep slope or on a 
slope with a low battery).
