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:

gine running, do not press the
accelerator pedal unneces-
sarily, as you may release the

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 applica-
tion of the handbrake" 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.



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
centimetres without starting the en-
gine, 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
"handbrake off" on 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.

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 system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control lever A
.

The dynamic emergency
braking should only be used
in exceptional circumstances.

Emergency parking brake
release

In the event of the electric parking
brake failing to release, an emergency
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 being
carried out.

)
If you are unable to start the
vehicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. However, if you are
obliged to proceed, fi rst immobilise
your vehicle securely and then fol-
low 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.
