on the clutch pedal, then press on the
accelerator pedal and move off,

released" in the instrument panel screen.
Activation / Deactivation of the
automatic functions
Depending on the country of sale, automatic

automatic release when moving off can be
deactivated. The activation / deactivation is
done in the vehicle parameters menu.
Deactivation of these functions is
signalled by this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
- this warning lamp in the
instrument panel going off,
In some special circumstances, with
the engine not running, (towing, icy
conditions...) the automatic parking
brake can be released manually, with
the key in the running position.
If the vehicle parameters menu does
not have the option to activate /
deactivate the automatic functions, this
can be done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
With the automatic functions deactivated, the
parking brake must be applied and released
manually.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the accelerator
pedal unnecessarily (particularly when
starting the engine, including in neutral),
as you may release the parking brake.
Do not place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between the
gear lever and the electric parking
brake control.
