Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle's main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
IX
namic emergency braking.

emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".

If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control lever A .

The dynamic emergency
braking should only be used
in exceptional circumstances.

If the vehicle cannot be im-
mobilised, do not operate
the emergency release. Your ve-
hicle may run away if on a slope.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Emergency parking brake

the engine running, immobilise
the vehicle by applying the foot
brake while the operation is being
carried out.
If you are unable to start the
vehicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. However, if you are
obliged to proceed, fi rst immobilise
your vehicle securely and then fol-
low the instructions below.
