Automatic application, engine off
With the vehicle stationary, the parking
brake is automatically applied when
the engine is switched off.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P in the control lever A ,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively when
you press the accelerator:

 Manual gearbox: press down fully
on the clutch pedal, engage fi rst
gear or reverse, press on the accel-
erator pedal and move off.

 Electronic gear control gearbox :
select position A , M or R then press
on the accelerator pedal.


Automatic gearbox: select position D ,

M or R then press on the accelerator
pedal.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instrument
panel is on (not fl ashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake. - the braking warning lamp
and of the warning lamp P
in the control lever A going
off,
- display of the message "Handbrake off".
An audible signal will confi rm to you
the application/release of your electric
parking brake.
Full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
engine running
With the engine running and the vehi-
cle stationary, in order to immobilise the
vehicle it is essential to manually apply
the parking brake by pulling on control
lever A .
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the control lever A ,
- display of the message "Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened, an
audible signal heard and a message is
displayed if the parking brake has not
been applied, unless the selector lever
is in position P (Park) in the case of an
automatic gearbox.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.
When stationary, with the en-
gine running, do not press the
accelerator pedal unneces-
sarily, as you may release the
parking brake.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehi-
cle or parking on a gradient, turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park.

139
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. start-
ing the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
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 park-
ing brake by pulling then releasing
control lever A . The full release of
the parking brake is confi rmed by the
warning lamp in the control lever A
and the warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs while
applied or if the battery runs fl at, an
emergency release is always possible.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
In the event of a failure of the main serv-
ice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on the control
lever
A
will stop the vehicle .
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the illumina-
tion of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guaran-
teed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control lever A .

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

140

Front left seat moved back fully.
In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency manual device can
release the parking brake.
Emergency release
 Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,
by engaging fi rst gear (manual gear-
box), position P (automatic gearbox)
or M or R (6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox).

 Switch off the engine but leave the
ignition on. If it is impossible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not operate
the control and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer urgently.

 Fetch the two vehicle blocks and
the release device, located under
the boot carpet (see "Changing a
wheel" in the "Practical information"
section).

 Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks in front and behind one of the
front wheels.

 Slide the front left-hand seat back
as far as possible.

 Lift up the fl oor plug B in the carpet
under the seat.

 Pierce the protective cover C on the
tube D with the release device.


Place the release device in the tube D .

 Turn the release device clockwise.


For safety reasons , it is essential
to continue turning the device as far
as it will go. The parking brake is re-
leased.
 Remove the release device and store
it with the blocks in the toolbox.
- 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.
For safety reasons, you must
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible to replace
the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlocking,
immobilisation of the vehicle is no
longer guaranteed once the manual
emergency release has been de-
ployed and the manual control does
not allow the re-application of your
parking brake.
Take no action, either on the control
lever A , or stopping or starting the
engine while the release device is
engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.

141
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 momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu- tral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily 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, apply the
parking brake manually then ensure
that the parking brake warning lamp
(and the warning lamp P in the lever
of the electric parking brake) are on
fi xed (not fl ashing).
If a fault occurs, these warning lamps
come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

142
Operating faults
If the electric parking brake fault warning lamp comes on together with one or more of the warning lamps presented in these
tables, place the vehicle in a safe condition (on level grou nd, gear engaged) and contact a PEUGEOT dealer without dela y.
