Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. star-
ting 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

assured by the driver by repeating alter-
nate "pull release" actions on control A .
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

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.

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
