Immobilisation, engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle stationary, in order to im-mobilise the vehicle you need to manually apply the parking brake by pulling on control A.
The application of the park-ing brake is confi rmed by :
- the lighting of warning lamp P on control A and on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message “park-ing brake applied” on the multi-function display.
When the driver’s door is opened, a beep is heard and a message displayed if the parking brake has not been applied.
ACTIVATION / DEACTIVATION OF
THE AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
The automatic application when the en-gine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated. Activation / deacti-vation is performed using the Menu of the instrument panel screen. To do so, select “Personalisation/Confi guration / Defi ne the Vehicle parameters / Driving assistance / Automatic handbrake”.
The deactivation of these functions is confi rmed by the lighting of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
With the automatic functions de-activated, the application and re-lease of the parking brake are done manually.
The full application of the park-ing brake is confi rmed by :
- the extinction of the warning lamp on control A and of warning lamp P on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message “park-ing brake released” on the multi-function display.
Note : If you pull control Awithout pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and the “foot on brake” warning lamp will light up on the instrument panel.
E L E C T R O N I C P A R K I N G B R A K E
Before leaving the vehi-cle, check that warning lamp P on the instrument panel is permanently lit.
The deactivation of the automat-ic functions is recommended in particularly cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan, ...)
MANUAL OPERATION
Manual application / release of the parking brake is always possible.
To start the vehicle
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release the parking brake, press on the brake pedal, pull then release control A.
When stationary, with the engine running, do not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily, as you may release the parking brake.

To immobilise the vehicle
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pull on control A.
The application of the park-ing brake is confi rmed by :
- the lighting of the warning lamp on control A and of warning lamp P on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message “park-ing brake applied” on the multi-function display.
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, a beep is heard and a message displayed if the parking brake has not been applied.
MAXIMUM APPLICATION
If necessary, you can utilise maxi-mum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on control A, until you see the message “parking brake applied” and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is indispensable :
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-tomatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
Note :
- In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park.
- After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
PARTICULAR SITUATIONS
In certain situations (starting the engine ...), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and re-lease the parking brake by pull-ing then releasing control A. The full release of the parking brake is confi rmed by the extinction of warning lamp P (red) on the instru-ment panel and the display of a message “parking brake released” on the multifunction display.
If the parking brake malfunctionswhile applied or if the battery runs fl at, an emergency release is always possible (see paragraph “Emergency unlocking”).

You can select the “parking space sensor” function by pressing button A. The fi xed lighting of the warning lamp indicates that the function is selected.
Parking space sensor warning lamp
This warning lamp can have three different statuses :
- off : the function is not selected.
-on fi xed : the function is selected but the conditions for mea
suring are not yet met (direction indicator not operating, speed too high) or the measuring phase is terminate d.
- fl ashing : the measuring is in progress or the message is being displayed.
The parking space sensor function assists you in fi nding a parking space. it measures the size of the space and gives you information on :
- the possibility of fi tting into a free space, depending on the dimensions of your vehicle and the distances necessary for your manœuvring,
- the level of diffi culty of the manœuvre to be performed.
Note : The system does not measure spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.

1. Press button A to select the function.
2. Activate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured.
3. During the measuring, go for-ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph), to prepare for your manœuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
4. The system informs you of the level of diffi culty of the manœuvre via a message on the multifunction screen ac-companied by a gong.
5. Depending on the message is-sued by the system, you may or may not be able to perform the manœuvre.

- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within fi ve minutes of selection of the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 70 km/h (approx. 45 mph) for one minute.
Warning : if the lateral distance be-tween your vehicle and the parking space is too large, the system may not be able the measure the space.
Notes :
- 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.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take addi-tional risks or to drive at excessive speeds.
The functioning of this system is subject to compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic components, as well as with CITROËN’s as-parts and electronic components, components,
sembly and repair procedures.
After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.After any collision, have this system , have t
Electronic stability programme (ESP) and traction control (ASR)
These systems are closely connected to the ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more brakes and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels, as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation :
When either the ESP or ASR system is in operation, the ESP/ASR warning lamp fl ashes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
- Press on control A, the ESP/ASR warning lamp and the control light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate again :
- Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
- Automatically above a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph).
- Manually with a new press on control A.
Operational anomaly
If the systems malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on, ac-companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction display. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction by a sound

This driving assistance device enables you to drive at a constant speed of your choice, without the need to action the accelerator. It is active over speeds of around 40 km/h (approx. 25 mph).
The cruise control commands are located on the steering wheel.
Note : The information relating to the cruise control is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
Selection of the function
Rotate the control 1 to the "REG"position.
Selection of a cruise speed
On selection of the function via control 1, no cruise speed has yet been memo-rised.
Once the desired speed has been reached via action on the accel-erator, press button 2 or button 4. The cruise speed is then memo-rised. It is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
You can then release the accelera-tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-cally keep to the speed chosen.
Note : The speed of your vehicle may vary slightly in relation to that memorised.
If during the operation of cruise control, the system is unable to keep within the memorised speed (for example on a steep descent), then the speed fl ashes. Adapt your speed as necessary.
Bi-tone instrument panel
Adjustment of the memorised speed while cruise control is in operation
You can adjust the memorised speed, displayed in zone A, by pressing on :
- button 4 to increase the speed,
- button 2 to decrease the speed.
Note : successive presses will modify the cruise speed in steps of 1 km/h and a sustained press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph).
Temporary override of the cruise speed
During the operation of cruise con-trol, it is always possible to action the accelerator to go faster than the cruise speed (for example to over-take another vehicle). The speed displayed in zone A fl ashes.
You have only to release the ac-celerator pedal to return to the cruise speed.
