Parking The Vehicle - CITROEN C4 PICASSO Handbook

Parking the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position P or N to be in neutral.
In either case, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P, on opening the
driver's door or approximately 45 seconds after
switching off the ignition there is an audible
signal and a message appears:
F move the gear selector to position P; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, if automatic
operation has been deactivated.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear selector is in position P before
leaving your vehicle.
In the event of a battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
gearbox, the service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
In this case the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and stays in 3 gear. You may then feel a
rd
noticeable jolt when going from P to R and from
N to R. This jolt does not present any risk to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) while also
observing legal speed limits.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
