With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull on control A .
The application of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y :
- lighting of the braking warn-ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P on the control A ,
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is 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.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press on the brake
pedal or the accel-
erator, pull then release control A .
The full application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
- extinction of the braking warning lamp and of the
warning lamp P on control A ,
If you pull control A without
pressing the brake pedal, the
parking brake will not be re-
leased and a warning lamp will
light up on the instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull on
control A , until you see the message
"Handbrake on" and a beep is heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, make a maximum applica-
tion of the parking brake then turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp on the instru-
m e n t p a n e l i s o n , n o t fl a s h i n g .
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic
functions are activated but you are
applying the parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- display of the message "Handbrake on". - display of the message
"Handbrake off".

The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
The parking sensors are
switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a
trailer is being towed or when
a b i c y c l e c a r r i e r i s fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t -
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals. If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the
multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
