Electric parking brake
The system provides, in automatic operation,
the application of the parking brake on
switching off the engine and release as the
vehicle moves off.
The driver can take over at any time to apply
or release the parking brake, by operating the
control lever:
-
by briefly pulling the control lever to apply
the brake,
-
by briefly pushing the control lever, while
pressing the foot brake, to release.
Automatic mode is activated by default.
The technology adopted for the electric
parking brake does not allow the fitment
of wheels smaller than 16 inches.

Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever to confirm the application of the
parking brake.
It goes off to confirm the release of the parking
brake.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes
during manual application or release.
After the parking brake has been applied, the
simultaneous flashing of the two indicator
lamps in the instrument panel and the control
lever alerts you to the need to fully secure your
vehicle by engaging a gear (with a manual
or electronic gearbox) or by placing the gear
selector in position P with an automatic
gearbox, or by fitting a chock to one of the
wheels. (E.g.: parking on a very steep slope or
on a slope with a low battery).
in the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking
brake is not applied, immobilise the
vehicle by engaging a gear or placing a
chock at one of the wheels.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
