EMERGENCY UNLOCKING
In the event of the electronic parking brake malfunctioning o
r the battery running
flat, an emergency manual device can unlock the parking brake.
1. Immobilise the vehicle, with the engine running, by engag
ing first gear (man
-
ual gearbox), position P (automatic gearbox) or M or R (6-speed electronic
gearbox), then switch off the engine.
Note : if it is impossible to immobilise the vehicle, do not action
the control and
urgently contact a CITROËN dealer.
2. Fetch the vehicle blocks and the unlocking device (braided cabl
e) from the
toolbox (see « Changing a wheel », paragraph on « Tools »
).
3. Immobilise the vehicle by placing blocks at the front and at
the rear of one of
the rear wheels.
4. Slide the front left-hand seat back as far as possible.
5. Lift up the floor plug B in the carpet under the seat.
6. Pierce the tab C on the tube D with the unlocking device.
7. Place the unlocking device in the tube D.
8. Turn the unlocking device clockwise. For safety reasons, it is essential
to continue turning the device as far as it will go or unti
l you hear a knocking
noise. The parking brake is released.
9. Remove the unlocking device and store it with the blocks in t
he toolbox (see
« Changing a wheel », paragraph on « Tools »)
Note :
- The operation of the parking brake re-initialises when the
ignition is switched
off then on again. If the reinitialisation of the parki
ng brake proves impossible,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may
be longer than during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is esse
ntial to contact a CITROËN dealer urgently to have
the plug replaced.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of
the vehicle is no longer guaranteed
once the manual emergency unlocking has been deploy
ed and the manual control does not allow
the re-application of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on control A, or stopping st
arting the engine while the unlocking device is eng
aged.
Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity
of the plug.
