Action / Observations
Turn the ring on the stalk rearward to switch off the
rear foglamps.
Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
Once it goes off, starting is immediate, on condition
that the brake pedal remains pressed with an
automatic gearbox, or the clutch pedal is pressed fully
down with a manual gearbox.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in severe winter conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.
Release the electric parking brake to switch off the
warning lamp: with your foot on the brake pedal, pull
the electric parking brake control lever.
Observe the safety recommendations.

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic
application / release is not possible.
