system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punctured

pressure checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perfor mance
of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake operates
as follows
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator.
- Manual application/release
Manual application/release of the parking brake is possible by
pulling control A while pressing
the brake pedal. Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply
the parking brake whether the engine
is running or off,
pull on control A . Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine
running, to release the parking
brake, press on the brake pedal, or
the accelerator,
pull then release
control A .
-
the extinction of the warn- ing lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the multi-
function screen.
If you pull control A without 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.
The application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the lighting of the warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake applied" on the multi-
function screen.
When the driver’s door is
opened with the engine run-
ning, a beep is heard and a
message displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied.
Before getting out of the vehicle,
check that the warning lamp P is lit
permanently on the instrument panel.

down fully on the clutch pedal
then press on the accelerator
pedal and move off.
Automatic gearbox : a c c e l e r a t e
with the selector in position D , M
or R .
Electronic gearbox : a c c e l e r a t e

or R .
Full release of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y : - the extinction of warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the multi-
function screen.
When stationary, with the
engine running, do not
press the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily, as you may
release the parking brake.
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 ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- 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),
- 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.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that warning lamp P
on the instrument panel is
permanently lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
- the display of a message "parking
brake applied" on the multifunc-
tion screen (except NaviDrive).
The normal operating sound will con-
fi r m t o y o u t h e a p p l i c a t i o n / r e l e a s e o f

Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control A will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
m u l t i f u n c t i o n s c r e e n :
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the ligh-
ting of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release" ac-
tions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.
