Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake   or   in   an   exceptional   situation   (e.g.   driver  
t

aken   ill,   under   instruction,   etc.)   a   continuous  
p

ull   on   the   control   lever   will   brake   the   vehicle.  
B

raking   takes   place   while   the   control   lever   is  
b

eing   pulled.   It   is   interrupted   if   the   control   lever  
i

s
 r
eleased.
The
  ABS   and   DSC   systems   provide   stability   of  
t

he   vehicle   during   emergency   braking.
If
  the   emergency   braking   malfunctions,   the  
m

essage   "Parking   brake   control   faulty"   will   be  
d

isplayed.
If
  a   failure   of   the   ABS   and   DSC   systems   occurs,
 s

ignalled   by   the   illumination   of   one   or   both
 w

arning   lamps   in   the   instrument   panel,   then
 s

tability   of   the   vehicle   is   no   longer   guaranteed.
In
  this   event,   stability   must   be   assured   by   the
 d

river   by   repeating   alternate   "pull-release"
 a

ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
  emergency   braking   should   only   be  
u

sed   in   an   exceptional   situation.
Repeat
 
this
 
procedure

In some situations, such as very cold weather o r   towing   (caravan,   recovery),   it   may   be

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the cruise   control.
Have
  it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

 w
orkshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on, be   careful   if   you   maintain   the   pressure  
o

n   one   of   the   programmed   speed  
c

hanging   buttons:   this   may   result   in   a  
v

ery   rapid   change   in   the   speed   of   your  
v

Do not use the cruise control on
slippery
  roads   or   in   heavy   traffic.
On
  a   steep   descent,   the   cruise   control  
w

ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
  exceeding   the   programmed   speed.
On
  steep   climbs   or   when   towing,   the  
p
