DRIVING
Emergency unlocking
In the event of the electric parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery
running fl at, an emergency mecha-
nism can unlock the parking brake.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the
engine running, by engaging fi rst
gear (manual gearbox), position P
(automatic gearbox) or M or R
(6-speed electronic gearbox).
Switch off the engine, but leave
the ignition on.
If the vehicle cannot be immo-
bilised, do not do anything and
contact a CITROËN dealer with-
out delay.
Fetch the vehicle blocks E and
the unlocking tool F (handle)
from the toolbox.
Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks E at the front and at the
rear of one of the rear wheels.
Slide the front left-hand seat
back as far as possible.
Lift up the fl oor plug B on the
carpet in front of the seat.
Pierce the tab C on the tube D
with the unlocking tool F .
Place the end of the handle F in
the tube D .
Turn the unlocking tool F clock-
wise. For safety reasons , it is
essential to continue turning the
device as far as it will go or until
you hear a knocking noise. The
parking brake is released.
Remove the unlocking tool F and
store it with the blocks E in the
toolbox.
- The operation of the parking
brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion
is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the park-
ing brake proves impossible,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
- The subsequent time required
for application may be longer
than during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is essential to contact a CITROËN dealer urgently to have the plug
replaced.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emer-
gency unlocking has been deployed and the manual control does not allow the re-application of your parking
brake.
Take no action, either on control A , or stopping starting the engine while the unlocking tool F is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of the plug.
