Driving
It is recommended that you do not apply the parking brake in very cold conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the automatic functions and release the parking brake manually.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on, not flashing.
The electric parking brake combines 2 operating modes: - Automatic Application/Release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use ofthe accelerator (this mode is activated by default), - Manual Application/Release Manual application of the parking brake is done by pulling control lever A. Manual release is done by pushing and
releasing the control lever, while pressing the brake pedal. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if
the brake is not applied.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pullcontrol lever A .
Manual application
Activation/deactivation is done via the menu in the instrument panel screen.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- lighting of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A ,
- display of the message "Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, there is an audible signal 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.

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.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as y ou want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduce s fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with the electronic gear control gearbox, at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or put the selector lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine star t using the key, - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfor table temperature in the passenger compar tment, - demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system. In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds then goes off. This operation is per fectly normal.
