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.

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.

144
System which projects various informa-
tion onto a transparent strip in the fi eld
of vision of the driver so that they do not
have to take their eyes off the road.
This system operates when the engine
is running and the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY

1. Head-up display on/off.

2. Brightness adjustment.

3. Display height adjustment.
The strip is activated by pressing one of
the buttons. Once the system has been activated,
the following information is grouped to-
gether in the head-up display:

A. The speed of your vehicle.

B. Cruise control/speed limiter infor-
mation.
Buttons Displays during operation

C. "Distance alert" information (de-
pending on version).

145
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 hamper
reading of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, which
is made of organic glass, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth
or microfi bre cloth). Do not use a
dry or abrasive cloth or detergent
or solvent products as these could
scratch the strip or damage the anti-
refl ection coating. We recommend that adjust-
ments are only made using
these buttons when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent strip (or on its cover) to
avoid blocking the strip output and
preventing its correct operation.


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.
Height adjustment

 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 :
- up to increase the brightness,
- down to decrease the brightness.

6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
As a safety precaution and to
facilitate starting of the engine:
Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear

 Raise the ring under the knob and
push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
* According to engine.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
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-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble 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 performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging 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 in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal.

panel screen.
Sequential mode

 When the vehicle has moved off,
select position M to change to se-
quential mode.

AUTO disappears and the
gears engaged appear in suc-
cession in the instrument panel
screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically to
allow vehicle to pull away in the correct
gear.
At very low speed, if reverse
gear is requested, this will only
be taken into account when
the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot
on brake warning lamp may fl ash in
the instrument panel to prompt you
to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N indicator lamp will
fl ash and the gearbox will change to
neutral automatically. To engage a
gear again, return the lever to posi-
tion A or M .

155
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver. It continuously selects
the most suitable gear in relation to the
following parameters:
- style of driving,
- profi le of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
Automatic mode

 Following use of the sequential
mode, select position A to return to
the automatic mode.
"Auto sequential mode"
This mode enables you to overtake, for
example, remaining in automatic mode
while using the functions of the sequen-
tial mode.

 Operate the + or - steering mounted
paddle.
The gearbox engages the gear request-
ed if the engine speed permits. AUTO is
still displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action
on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
On sharp acceleration, the
gearbox will not change up
unless the driver acts on the
gear lever or the steering mounted
paddles.
Never select neutral N while the ve-
hicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when
the vehicle is immobilised with the
brake pedal pressed.
For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking an-
other vehicle, press the accel-
erator pedal fi rmly past the point of
resistance.
