  Emergency unlocking 
  For  safety  reasons,  after  this  
manoeuvre  it  is  essential  to 
contact  a  PEUGEOT  dealer 
urgently. 
 Following  an  emergency  unlocking, 
immobilisation  of  the  vehicle  is  no 
longer  guaranteed  once  the  manual 
emergency  unlocking  has  been  de-
ployed  and  the  manual  control  does 
not  allow  the  re-application  of  your 
parking brake.  
 Take no action, either on control   A , or 
stopping starting the engine while the  
unlocking device is engaged.  
 Take  care  not  to  allow  moisture  or  
dust in the proximity of the plug.  
   
     Immobilise  the  vehicle,  with  the  en-
 g i n e   r u n n i n g ,   b y   e n g a g i n g   fi   r s t   g e a r

matic  gearbox)  or    M   or    R   (6-speed 
electronic gearbox). 
  
     Switch  off  the  engine  but  leave  the 
ignition  on.  If  it  is  impossible  to  im-
mobilise  the  vehicle,  do  not  action 
the  control  and  urgently  contact  a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  
     Fetch  the  two  vehicle  blocks  and 
the unlocking device, located under 
the  boot  carpet  (see  "Changing  a 
wheel" in the "Practical information" 
section). 
  
     Immobilise  the  vehicle  by  placing 
blocks at the front and at the rear of 
one of the rear wheels.

HILL START ASSIST 
 System  which  keeps  your  vehicle  im- 
mobilised  temporarily  (approximately 
2  seconds)  when  starting  on  a  gradi-
ent,  the  time  it  takes  to  move  your  foot 
from the brake pedal to the accelerator 
pedal.  
 This function is only active when: 
   -   the  vehicle  is  completely  stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, 
  -   in particular conditions on a slope, 
  -   with the driver’s door closed.   
 The  hill  start  assist  function  cannot  be  
deactivated. 
  Operation 
  
On  an  ascending  slope,  with  the  ve- 
hicle  stationary,  the  vehicle  is  held 
for a brief moment when you release 
the brake pedal:   
       -      p r o v i d e d   y o u   a r e   i n   fi   r s t   g e a r   o r   n e u - tral on a manual gearbox, 
  -   provided  you  are  in    A   or    M   on  an 
electronic gearbox, 
  -   provided  you  are  in    D   or    M   on  an 
automatic gearbox.     
On  a  descending  slope,  with  the  ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged,  the  vehicle  is  held  for  a  brief 
moment when you release the brake 
pedal.    
  Do  not  exit  the  vehicle  while 
it  is  being  held  in  the  hill  start 
assist phase. 
 If you need to exit the vehicle with the 
engine  running,  manually  apply  the 
parking  brake  then  ensure  that  the 
parking  brake  warning  lamp  and  the 
warning  lamp    P   on  the  lever  (of  the

  Particular situations 
 In certain situations (e.g. start-
ing  the  engine),  the  parking  brake  
can automatically alter its force. This 
is normal operation. 
  Emergency braking 
 In the event of a failure of the braking by  
means  of  the  brake  pedal  or  in  an  ex-
ceptional  situation  (e.g.  driver  taken  ill, 
under instruction, etc) a continuous pull 
on control   A  will stop the vehicle. 
 The  electronic  stability  programme 
(ESP)  provides  stability  during  emer-
gency braking.  
 If  the  emergency  braking  malfunctions,  
one  of  the  following  messages  will  be 
displayed:  
   -   "Parking brake faulty". 
  -   "Parking brake control faulty".  
  To  advance  your  vehicle  a  few  cen- 
timetres  without  starting  the  engine, 
but with the ignition on, press on the 
brake  pedal  and  release  the  parking 
brake  
by pulling   then  releasing   con-
trol   A . The full release of the parking

the  warning  lamp  on  the  instrument 
panel and the displaying of the mes-
sage "Parking brake released".  
 If  the  parking  brake  malfunctions  
 
while  applied    or  if  the  battery  runs 
 fl   a t ,   a n   e m e r g e n c y   r e l e a s e   i a   a l w a y s  
possible.      If  a  failure  of  the  ESP  system 
is  signalled  by  the  lighting  of 
this  warning  lamp,  then  brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed. 
 In  this  event,  stability  must  be  assured 
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull 
release" actions on control   A .    
 The  emergency  braking  must 
only  be  used  in  exceptional 
circumstances.

CRUISE CONTROL 
 System  which  automatically  maintains  
the  speed  of  the  vehicle  at  the  value 
programmed  by  the  driver,  without  any 
action on the accelerator pedal.  
 The  cruise  control  is   switched  on  
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle  
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:  
   -   of  fourth  gear  on  the  manual  gear- box, 
  -   of second gear on the piloted manu- al gearbox or automatic gearbox, in  
sequential driving mode, 
  -   of  position    A   on  the  piloted  manual 
gearbox or   D  on the automatic gear-
box.    The controls of this system are grouped

part of the driver.  
 The  cruise  control  is   
switched  off  
manually  or  by  pressing  the  brake  or 
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP 
system for safety reasons.  
 It is possible to exceed the programmed  
speed  temporarily  by  pressing  the  ac-
celerator pedal.  
 To  return  to  the  programmed  speed,  
simply release the accelerator pedal.  
 Switching  off  the  ignition  cancels  any  
programmed speed value.    This  information  is  also  dis-
played on the head up display.
