If your handbrake won't go down, leaving your parking brake on, you wouldn't want to drive it until you can fully release the parking brake.
if you drive with the parking bake on, it will heat up the rotors of your brakes, possibly warping them, and you will lose all braking power until the rotors cool down.
that could easily cause a collision.

To adjust the handbrake on a Citroën Xantia, first, ensure the car is on a flat surface and securely lift it using a jack. Remove the rear wheel and access the brake mechanism. Adjust the handbrake cable tension by turning the adjusting nut located near the rear of the handbrake lever until the desired tension is achieved, making sure the handbrake holds the car when engaged. Finally, test the handbrake by lowering the car and ensuring it holds securely on a slope.
