Handbrake
The parking brake is applied, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the
lever with a force that is proportionate to the steepness of the slope.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended to press the
brake pedal at the same time.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage first gear. For
vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox, ensure that the parking
position (P) is selected.
On steep slopes, turn the steering towards the kerb.
To release the handbrake, press on the end of the lever, pull the lever up
then lower it fully.
The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released.
If the parking brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp, in conjunction with the STOP
warning lamp, indicates that the brake fluid level is low or that the braking distributor is
malfunctioning.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Urgently consult a CITROËN Dealer
