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

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.

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:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r n e u t r a l 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.
