boot carpet for access to the emer-
gency release device.
 Pierce the protective cover D on the

to reinitialise the parking brake. If
the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
- The subsequent time required for
application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this op-
eration it is essential to contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay to re-
place the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlock-
ing, immobilisation of the vehicle
is no longer assured once the
manual emergency release has
been deployed and the manual
control does not allow the re-ap-
plication of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on the
control lever A , or stopping start-
ing the engine while the release
crank is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture
or dust in the proximity of the
protective cover.
