DRIVING

Emergency braking

In the event of failure of the
electronic stability control sys-
tem, signalled by the illumi-
nation of this warning lamp,
braking stability is then not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate
"pull-release" actions on the control
lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on the control
lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability control provides
stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
the message "Parking brake faulty" will
be displayed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional cir-
cumstances.











Emergency release

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency device can be used
to release the parking brake manually.
Access to tools
The tools are stowed in the storage box
under the boot carpet.
* Available according to equipment: if
these tools are not present, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to obtain them.


Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,
by engaging fi rst gear (manual
gearbox) or position M
or R
(elec-
tronic gearbox).


Switch off the engine but leave the
ignition on. If it is not possible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not operate
the control and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop with-
out delay.


Immobilise the vehicle by placing
the blocks in front or behind the two
front wheels, opposite to the direc-
tion of the slope.
For safety reasons, after this op-
eration it is essential to contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay to re-
place the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlock-
ing, immobilisation of the vehicle
is no longer assured once the
manual emergency release has
been deployed and the manual
control does not allow the re-ap-
plication of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on the
control lever A
, or stopping start-
ing the engine while the release
crank is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture
or dust in the proximity of the
protective cover.


Remove the storage box under the
boot carpet for access to the emer-
gency release device.


Pierce the protective cover D
on the
tube E
with the release crank.


Introduce the release crank into the
tube.


Turn the release device clockwise .

For safety reasons
, it is essential

to continue turning the device until it
reaches its stop. The parking brake
is released.


Remove the release crank and stow
it with the chocks in the storage box
under the boot carpet.

- Switch the ignition off and then on
to reinitialise the parking brake. If
the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

- The subsequent time required for
application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Procedure for changing a faulty wheel
for the spare wheel using the tools pro-
vided with the vehicle.

Access to the tools

The tools are installed in the boot under
the fl oor.
To gain access to them:



open the boot,


raise the fl oor,


secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear shelf support,


with a standard size spare wheel,
unclip and remove the box in the
middle of the wheel containing the
tools,
or


with a "space-saver" spare wheel;
lift the wheel at the rear towards you
for access to the storage box con-
taining the tools.
List of tools
All of these tools are specifi c to your
vehicle. Do not use them for other pur-
poses.


1.
Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and
the wheel fi xing bolts.

2.
Jack with integral handle.
For raising the vehicle.

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
Depending on version, the spare wheel
may be a standard size steel or alloy
wheel, or for some countries it is the
"space saver" type.
For access to the spare wheel, refer to
the paragraph "Access to the tools" on
the previous page.
Putting the standard wheel back in
place



Put the wheel back in its housing.

few turns then put it in place in the
centre of the wheel.


Tighten fully until the central bolt
clicks to retain the wheel correctly.

Tyre under-infl ation detection

come into contact with the steel
or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.

After changing a wheel

To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, fi rst remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and
the pressure of the spare wheel
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop without delay.

Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as soon
as possible.


List of operations



Put the wheel in place on the hub.


Screw in the bolts by hand to the
stop.
