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:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral 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 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, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp and the
warning lamp P on the lever (of the
electric brake) are permanently on.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

141
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.

Situations
Consequences
Display of the message " Parking
brake control fault - auto parking
brake activated " and of the following
warning lamps:
- Only the automatic application on switching off the engine and automatic
release on acceleration functions are available.
- The manual application/release of the electric parking b rake and the emergency
braking are not available.
and possibly
fl ashing
Battery fault
- If the battery warning lamp comes on you must stop immediat ely as soon as
the traffi c allows. Stop and immobilise your vehicle (if necessary, place the two
chocks under the wheels).
- Apply the electric parking brake before switching off the e ngine.

138
Particular situations 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 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".
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 parking
brake by pulling then releasing con-
trol A . The full release of the parking
brake is confi rmed by the extinction
of warning lamp on control A and of
the warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the displaying of the mes-
sage "Handbrake off".
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible. If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting of
this warning lamp, then bra-
king stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control A .

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

139
Emergency release
For safety reasons, after this
manoeuvre it is essential to
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
urgently 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 control A , or
stopping starting the engine while the
release device is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.

 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 action
the control and urgently contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

 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 at the front and at the rear of
one of the rear 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 or until you hear a
knocking noise. The parking brake
is released.
 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.

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.

143
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 on the head-up display:

A. The speed of your vehicle.

B. Cruise control/speed limiter informa-
tion.

C. Distance alert information (according to
version).
Buttons Displays during operation

144
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 sol-
vent 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.
