Release
With the ignition on or the engine
running, to release the parking
brake, press on the brake pedal,
push then release
control lever A
.
The full application of the parking
brake is confi rmed by:


- warning lamp P
in the
control lever A
going off,

- display of a message "parking
brake released" in the instru-
ment panel screen.
If you push control lever A
without
pressing the brake pedal, the park-
ing brake will not be released and
the message "Foot on brake" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.

When stationary, with the en-
gine running, do not press the
accelerator pedal unneces-
sarily, 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 lever A
, until
you see the message "Max appli-
cation of the parking brake" and a
beep is heard.

Maximum application is essen-
tial:



- 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 effective gradient you
are parked on is variable (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.



Particular situations

In certain situations (starting the en-
gine...), the parking brake can auto-
matically alter its level of application.
This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the parking
brake by pushing
then releasing

control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake
is confi rmed by the warning lamp P

in the control lever and the warning
lamp in the instrument panel going
off and the display of a message
"parking brake off" in the instrument
panel screen.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied
or if the battery is fl at,
an emergency release is still pos-
sible.
To ensure correct operation of the
parking brake and therefore your
safety, the number of successive
application/release operations is
limited to eight.
If this number is exceeded, you are
warned by the message "Parking
brake faulty" and a warning lamp
fl ashes.

strument panel going off,

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) pull
and hold control lever A
to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic
emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:


- "Parking brake faulty".

- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing 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 lever A
.

The dynamic emergency brak-
ing should only be used in ex-
ceptional circumstances.

Emergency parking brake
release

In the event of the electric parking
brake failing to release, an emergen-
cy device can be used to release the
parking brake manually, provided that
it is possible to immobilise the vehicle
while the procedure is carried out.


)
If you can start the vehicle: with
the engine running, immobilise
the vehicle by applying the foot
brake while the operation is be-
ing carried out.

)
If you are unable to start the ve-
hicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. However, if
you are obliged to proceed, fi rst
immobilise your vehicle securely
and then follow the instructions
below. If the vehicle cannot be im-
mobilised, do not operate
the emergency release. Your ve-
hicle may run away if on a slope.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
When the limit speed is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched on man-
ually: a speed of at least 20 mph (ap-
prox. 30 km/h) must be programmed.
The speed limiter can in no way re-
place respect for speed limits or vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.

Steering mounted controls

The speed limiter switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.


Displays in the instrument panel

The speed limiter information is dis-
played in zone A
of the instrument
panel.


Programming



)
Press on button 4
to select speed
limiter mode " LIMIT
".
The selection is confi rmed by the
display of the function in zone A
of
the instrument panel.
Activation



)

sired maximum speed is dis-
played.
The information "ON"
then appears
in zone A
.
When the function is selected, the
last memorised speed and the infor-
mation "PAUSE"
are displayed.
With the engine running, you can ad-
just the memorised maximum speed,
displayed in zone A
, by pressing on:


)
Button 1
to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed.

)

5 mph.

IX
151
DRIVING
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
Use of a fl oor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may
affect the normal operation of the
accelerator pedal and hamper the
operation of the speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fi tted with a 3rd fi xing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
interference with the pedals.

Suspension / Resumption



)
Press on button 3
.
This action causes the information
"PAUSE"
to appear in zone A
of the
instrument panel.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A
of the
instrument panel.


Overriding the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal has an end-
of-travel switch. In order to exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time, you can press the pedal
all the way down. While the speed
is being exceeded, the speed dis-
played in zone A
will fl ash. You have
only to release the accelerator pedal
to return below the maximum speed,
to restore the function.
The speed will also fl ash if the speed
limiter is not able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (e.g. on a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, re-
lease the accelerator to slow to a
speed lower than the programmed
speed.


Return to normal driving



)
Either press on button 5
.

)
Or select the speed limiter func-
tion.

)
Or stop the engine.

dible signal and illumination of the
SERVICE
warning lamp.
