Consequences
To apply the electric parking brake:  immobilise the vehicle and switch off the ignition.  pull the control for at least 5 seconds or until app lication is complete.  switch on the ignition and check that the electric parking brake warning lamps come on. The application is slower than during normal operati on. To release the electric parking brake:
 switch on the ignition.  push the control lever and hold it for approximately 3 seconds then release it. If the braking warning lamp is flashing or if the warning lamps do not come on with the ignition on, these procedures will not work. Place the vehicle on level ground and have it checked by a PEU GEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
and possibly
flashing
Display of the message " Parking brake fault " and of the following warning lamps: - Only the automatic application on switching off the engine and automatic release on acceleration functions are avail able. - The manual application/release of the electric parking brake and the emergency braking are not available.
and possibly
flashing
Display of the message "Batter y charge fault". - You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Swi tch off and
immobilise your vehicle (if necessary, place the a chock under a wheel). - Apply the electric parking brake before switching off the engine.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main ser vice 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 emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the ESP system is signalled by the lighting of this warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A .
Emergency parking brake release
 if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor.  On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels.
In the event of fault with the electric parking brake or a battery failure, an emergency mechanical control can be used to manually release the parking brake.  Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the brake pedal has not been released), with the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P (automatic gearbox) or M or R (electronic gear control gearbox).  Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the vehicle, do not operate this control and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.

Manual parking brake
Application
 Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
Release
 Pull the parking brake lever up gently, press the release button then lowerthe lever fully.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, engage a gear and switch off the ignition.
When the vehicle is being driven, if this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicating that the parking brake is still on or has not been fully released.

Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation, enhanced by spor t and snow programmes, or manual gear changing. Four driving modes are offered: - automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox, - spor t programme for a more dynamic style
of driving, - snow programme to improve driving when traction is poor, - manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.

6-speed electronic gear control gearbox
Six-speed electronic gear control gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing. There are two driving modes: - automatic mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox, - manual mode for sequential gear changing by the driver. In automatic mode, it remains possible to change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles when required, when over taking, for example.
R. Reverse  With your foot on the brake, lift the lever and push for wards. N. Neutral.  With your foot on the brake, select this position to star t. A. Automatic mode.  Move the lever backwards to select this mode. M. Manual mode with sequential gear changing.  Move the lever to the left to select this
mode, then use the steering mounted control paddles to change gear:

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)). The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.  Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Safety
Electronic stability programme (ESP) incorporating the following systems: - the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD), - the emergency braking assistance, - the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and offers improved control, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces. The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking. The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
