Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the vehi-
cle’s main braking system or in an
exceptional situation (e.g. driver tak-
en ill, under instruction, etc) pull and
hold control A to stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
instrument panel display:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release" ac-
tions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used
in exceptional circum-
stances.
Emergency unlocking
In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery
running fl at, an emergency man-
ual device can unlock the parking
brake.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the
engine running, by engaging fi rst
gear (manual gearbox) or posi-
tion P (automatic gearbox), then
switch off the engine.
If it is impossible to immobilise
the vehicle, do not action the
control and urgently contact a
CITROËN dealer.
