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 electric brake) are permanent-
ly on.
If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

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
b r a k e i s c o n fi r m e d b y t h e e x t i n c t i o n
of warning lamp on control A and of
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 alter-
nate "pull release" actions on control A .
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

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
(manual gearbox), position P (auto-
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.
Slide the front left-hand seat back
as far as possible.
L i f t u p t h e fl o o r p l u g B in the carpet
under the seat.
Remove the cap C on the tube D
with the unlocking device.
Place the unlocking device in the
tube D .
Turn the unlocking device clockwise.
For safety reasons , it is essential to
continue turning the device as far as
it will go or until you hear a knocking
noise. The parking brake is released.
Remove the unlocking device and
store it with the blocks in the tool-
box.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.

In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery run-
n i n g fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n u a l d e v i c e

In certain extreme weather
conditions (rain and/or snow,
bright sunshine, ...) the head
up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
Certain glasses (sunglasses, specta-
cles or polarised lenses) may ham-
per reading of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, use a
clean, soft cloth such as a spectacles
cloth. Do not use a dry or abrasive
cloth or detergent or solvent products. We recommend that adjust-
ments are only made using
these buttons when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
No objects should be placed on the
upper part of the fascia (between the
windscreen and the translucent strip)
or block the strip output.
With the engine running, press button 1 .
The activated/deactivated status when
the engine was switched off is retained
when the engine is switched on again.

With the engine running, adjust the
display to the required height using
button 3 :
- up to move the display up,
- down to move the display down.
Activation/Deactivation Brightness adjustment
With the engine running, adjust the
brightness of the information using
button 2 :

gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-

gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.

termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e e n g i n e ( fi r m
pressure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the sys-
tem will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g o f fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging of reverse gear,
- engaging of a lower gear. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of
an arrow on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
