ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE


The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic Application/Release

Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),

- Manual Application/Release

The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, the au-
tomatic mode is deactivated.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the
vehicle, the automatic application when
the engine is switched off and the auto-
matic release when you press the ac-
celerator can be deactivated.

It is recommended that you do
not apply the parking brake in
very cold conditions (ice) and
during towing (breakdown, car-
avan...). Deactivate the auto-
matic functions and release the
parking brake manually.



Manual application

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the P
warning
lamp in the control lever A
,


- display of the message
"Handbrake on".

Before leaving the vehicle, en-
sure that parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fi xed, not fl ashing.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a message is dis-
played accompanied by an audible sig-
nal if the parking brake has not been
applied, except in the case of an au-
tomatic gearbox with the gear lever in
position P
. Activation/deactivation is done
using the vehicle confi guration
menu; refer to the section cov-
ering the confi guration of your
vehicle's systems.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.

Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone...) be-
tween the gear lever and the
electric parking brake control
lever.

The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively
when
you press the accelerator:


)
Manual gearbox:

on the clutch pedal, engage fi rst
gear or reverse, press on the accel-
erator pedal and move off.

)
6-speed electronic gearbox sys-
tem

the control lever A
going off,

- display of the message
"Handbrake off".

When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the ac-
celerator pedal unnecessarily,
as you may release the parking
brake.



Immobilising the vehicle,
engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary, in order to immobilise the
vehicle it is essential to manually
ap-
ply the parking brake by pulling
control
lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


-
illumination of the braking
warning lamp and the P
warn-
ing lamp in the control lever A
,


- display of the message
"Handbrake on".

Before leaving the vehicle, en-
sure that parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fi xed, not fl ashing.



Particular situations


In certain situations (e.g. starting the
engine), the parking brake can auto-
matically alter its force. This is normal
operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centime-
tres without starting the engine, but with
the ignition on, press on the brake pedal
and release the parking brake by pulling

then releasing
the control lever A
. The
full release of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by the warning lamps in the con-
trol lever A
and in the instrument panel
going off and display of the message
"Handbrake off".
If the parking brake develops a fault
while applied
or if the battery runs fl at,
an emergency release is always pos-
sible.

When the driver’s door is opened, a
message is displayed accompanied by
an audible signal, if the parking brake
has not been applied, except in the
case of an automatic gearbox with the
gear lever in position P
.

Emergency braking


In the event of failure of the elec-
tronic stability control system,
signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, braking sta-
bility is then not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate
"pull-release" actions on the control
lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main
service brake or in an exceptional
situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under
instruction, etc) a continuous pull on
the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability control provides
stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
the message "Parking brake faulty" will
be displayed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional cir-
cumstances.










Emergency release

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency manual device can
release the parking brake.


)
Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,
by engaging fi rst gear (manual gear-
box), position P
(automatic gear-
box) or position M
or R
(6-speed
electronic gearbox system).

)
Switch off the engine but leave the
ignition on. If it is not possible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not operate
the control and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop with-
out delay.
