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.

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.
