2 The emergency brake
This brake is actuated by the pedal B used by the left foot.
Contrary to the action of the other controls in the car, which are all
extremely gentle, the emergency brake requires very energetic pressure
by the foot.
The emergency brake is also used to immobilize the car as follows:
• Raise the button C (fig. 17) to the upper position and push the pedal B hard
down: the car is now perfectly immobilized and remains so as long as the
button C is not touched.
• The safety lock D when pushed to the left secures button C in the upper
position (brake applied).
• When stopping on a gradient it is essential that the pedal B be pushed
down very energetically.
• To release the emergency brake unlock it by pushing the button D towards
the right, pull the button C and lower it into the notch E. The button C must
always be at this position when the car is in motion.
When the movement of the emergency brake becomes excessive have it
adjusted by a CITROEN Agent.
