With the ignition on or the engine running, to
release the parking brake, press the brake
pedal , pull then release control lever A .
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
Manual release
- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control
lever A going off,
-
d
isplay of the message "Parking
brake off ".
If you pull the control lever A without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake will not
be released and a message appears in the
instrument panel.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and the control lever A
are on fixed, not flashing.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull
control lever A .
Manual application
The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
-
i
llumination of the braking warning
lamp and of the P warning lamp in
the control lever A ,
-
d
isplay of the message "Parking
brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the
engine running, there is an audible signal and a
message is displayed if the parking brake has
not been applied, unless the selector lever is
in position P (Park) in the case of an automatic
gearbox. Maximum application is essential:
-
i
n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
-
w
hen the slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see the message "Parking brake
applied fully" and an audible signal is heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer.

Emergency braking
The emergency braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.If 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
.
In the event of a failure of the main
service 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 DSC system provides stability when
braking during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
Special situations
To ensure correct operation, and so
your safety, the number of successive
applications and releases of the parking
brake is limited to eight cycles.
If used excessively, you are alerted by
the message "parking brake faulty" and
a flashing warning lamp. In some circumstances (engine start...),
the parking brake may adjust the level
of application itself. This is normal
operation.
To move your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, with the
ignition on, press the brake pedal and
release the parking brake by pulling
then releasing the control lever A .
Complete release of the parking brake
is indicated by the warning lamps in the
control lever A and in the instrument
panel going off and by the display of the
message "Parking brake off ".

Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R ,

without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If the parking brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are fully closed.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position d for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position
d
to
accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal
when trying to move the gear selector

It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
It is possible to change from position

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 selector
in position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F
R
eturn the selector 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 a
gearbox 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 P
to R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear selector at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
