Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuouspull on the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The Dynamic Stability Control system provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emer
gency braking malfunctions, themessage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
)Take the vehicle blocks and the release
device, located under the boot carpet.
)On sloping ground, secure the vehicle by placing chocks in front or behind the front
wheels, on the falling side of the slope.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
I
f a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination 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"actions on the control lever A.








Emergency release

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running flat, an emergency manual device can release the
parkin
g brake. ) Immobilise the vehicle:


- by engaging first gear (manual gearbox),

- with the engine running, position P(automatic gearbox) or Mor R
(electronicgearbox system).)
Switch off the engine then switch the
ignition on. If it is impossible to immobilise
the vehicle, do not operate the control and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop urgently.

Driving

For safety reasons, you must contact a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible toreplace the protective cover. Ta k e care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlocking,immobilisation of the vehicle is nolonger guaranteed once the manualemergency release has been deployedand the manual control does not allowthe re-application of your parking brake. Take no action, either on the control lever A, or stopping or star ting theengine while the release device is engaged.
To r e - e ngage the electric parking brake(after correction of the fault or batteryproblem), make a long pull on the
control lever A
until the parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel flashes then make a second long pull until this warning lamp comes on fixed. Front left seat moved back full

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, put the lever in position Por N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake toimmobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.

If the lever is not in position P
, when thePdriver's door is opened or approximately45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and amessage appears. )
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate agearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R. This will not cause anydamage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speedrestrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the batteryis flat.

To reduce fuel consumption whenstationary for long periods with theengine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at Nand apply theparking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

121Driving

You must press the brake pedal when starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you mustmanually apply the parking brake when parking, unless the parking brake is programmed in automatic mode.

When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must place the gear lever in neutral N.Before carrying out any work in the engine compar tment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N
and that the parking brake is applied.

Stopping the vehicle

With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen, indicates a
mal
function of the gearbox.
Have it checked by CITROËN or a qualified
workshop. Be
fore switching off the engine, you canchoose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you should apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating fault

Sport setting
)
After selection of manual or
automated mode, press the Sbutton to switch on the Sport setting, which provides a more
dynamic driving style.S appears alongside the gear engaged in the instrument panelscreen.
)Press the Sbutton again to switch it off. Sthen disappears from the instrument panel screen.
The Spor t setting is switched off every time the
ignition is switched off.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with the electronic
gearbox system,
at
speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmaoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goesoff. The
Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the STA R T/STOP button.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the screen.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes thencomes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message mayalso be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in position Nand put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and star t the engine again using the "STA R T/STOP" button.

Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This s
ystem requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Maintenance


The Stop & Star t system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able toprovide.
