Advice
Vehicles equipped with a turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having allowed it to run for a few seconds at idle, this being the time required for t he turbocharger to return to a normal speed.
"Flicking the accelerator" at the moment of switching off the i gnition could cause serious damage.
Note : If the engine fails to start at the fi rst attempt, switch off the ignition. Wait ten seconds, then action the starte r again as indicated above.

IIAutomatic mode
- Move the selector to position D.
The gearbox constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the following parameters :
- driving style,
- road profi le
- vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without requiring any intervention on your part.
For certain manœuvres (for example overtaking), you can obtain maximum acceleration by pressing the accelerator pedal hard down, which then pro-duces an automatic change down to a lower gear.
Observations :
When braking, the gearbox may change down automatically in ord er to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator abruptly, the gearbox will not engage a higher gear.
Temporary manual operation when in automatic mode
By pulling either of the levers “+” or “-”, you can exercise temporary con-trol over the changing of gears. The request to change gear w ill be taken into account. You will still be in automatic mode. The warning lamp D re-mains lit up in the instrument panel.
This function enables you to anticipate certain situations such as the ap-proach of a bend or the need to overtake another vehicle.

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

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”).

Note : if it is impossible to immobilise the vehicle, do not action the control and urgently contact a CITROËN dealer. if it is impossible to immobilise impossible to immobilise
2. Fetch the vehicle blocks and the unlocking device (braided cabl e) from the toolbox (see “Changing a wheel”, paragraph on “Tools”).
3. Immobilise the vehicle by placing blocks at the front and at the rear of one of the rear wheels.
4. Slide the front left-hand seat back as far as possible.
5. Lift up the fl oor plug B in the carpet under the seat.
6. Pierce the tab C on the tube D with the unlocking device.
7. Place the unlocking device in the tube D.
8. Turn the unlocking device clockwise. For safety reasons, it is essentialto continue turning the device as far as it will go or until you hear a knocking noise. The parking brake is released.
9. Remove the unlocking device and store it with the blocks in t he toolbox.
Note : - The operation of the parking brake re-initialises when the ignition is switched off then on again. If the reinitialisation of the parking brake proves impossible, contact a CITROËN dealer.off then on again. If the reinitialisation again. If
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer t han during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is essential to contact a CITROËN dealer urgently to have the plug replaced.Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emergency unlocking has been deployed and the manual control d oes not allow the re-application of your park-ing brake.Take no action, either on control A, or stopping starting the engine while the unlocking device is engaged.Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of the plug.
