Manual Parking Brake - CITROEN E-MEHARI Handbook

Loose objects on the driver's side floor
may inhibit or prevent operation of the
pedals and cause loss of control of the
vehicle, increasing the risk of serious or
fatal injuries.

Manual parking brake

Always check that your manual parking
brake is applied before leaving the vehicle.
When parking on a slope, turn the front
wheels into the kerb, apply the parking
brake and switch off at the starting switch.
Check that the parking brake is released
before moving off.
Not releasing the parking brake could
result in its failure and cause an accident.
Never release the parking brake from
outside the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised inside
the vehicle.
They might release the parking brake and
cause an accident.
Only release the brake pedal once the
parking brake has been fully applied.
Failure to apply the parking brake could
allow the vehicle to move on its own and
cause an accident.
In very cold conditions, the manual
parking brake could freeze and be
impossible to release.
Applying the parking brake
To apply the manual parking brake and
immobilise your vehicle, pull the lever (1) fully
up.
