Driving
The effectiveness of the brake is proportional to the pressure exerted by the
foot on the pedal. The braking system is designed so that it only requires a
slight effort on the part of the driver, even if a sudden stop becomes
necessary. Before setting off for the first time it is advisable to try the footbrake
in order to assess its feel, i.e. its sensitivity and efficiency.
2 The handbrake
The handbrake lever A is located within reach of the driver.
To apply it pull the handle, the ratchet holding it in the selected position. To
release the handbrake pull the handle to free the ratchet, push the free end of
the catch B to clear the ratchet and move the lever fully forward.
A safety device can lock the ratchet catch in position: it is applied by giving the
knurled nut C a quarter of a turn.
When stopping on a gradient the handle A must be pulled with a
considerable effort.
When the movement of the handbrake lever becomes excessive have the
brake adjusted by a CITROEN Agent.
BRAKE MONITOR
If the pressure of the brake hydraulic system controlling the main footbrake
becomes insufficient the red warning light B in the dial 3 (figs. 20 and 22)
lights up, also the STOP warning light K.
