Electric Parking Brake - CITROEN DS4 Owner's Handbook Manual

Electric parking brake

The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (activated by default),
- Manual Application/Release
The parking brake can be applied /
released manually by pulling control
lever A .
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, the automatic
mode is deactivated.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
switched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
Activation / deactivation is done
using the vehicle configuration
menu; refer to the section covering
the configuration of your vehicle's
systems.
The parking brake is then applied and released
manually. When the driver's door is opened,
there is an audible signal and a message is
displayed if the brake is not applied.
It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the
automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually.
Do not place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between the
gear lever and the electric parking
brake control lever.
