Electric braking
The Grand C4 Picasso's automatic electric parking brake improves comfort and safety. This electric brake is automatically applied when the engine stops. The ECU works in tandem with the ESP to calculate the force required to immobilise the vehicle, depending on the gradient of the road. As soon as the torque applied to the drive wheels is sufficient, the parking brake is automatically released.
The electric handbrake control is located within easy reach in the middle of the dashboard, and can be used to apply the parking brake in a conventional manner if required.
