For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag in-
fl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot
gas via openings provided for this
purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.


Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical in-
formation - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
seat backs (clothing...). This could
cause injury to the chest or arms if
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is de-
ployed.
Do not remove the grab handles in-
stalled on the roof, they play a part in
securing the curtain airbags.

The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic application/release

Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),

- Manual application/release

The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.


Deactivation is recommended in
particularly cold conditions (ice)
and during towing (breakdown,
caravan...). Refer to the "Manual
release" paragraph.



Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp in the in-
strument panel comes on, the
automatic mode is deactivated. The system can be ac-
tivated/deactivated by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible beep
and a message is displayed if the brake
is not applied.


Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

137
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
on control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


-
lighting of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in the control lever A
,

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 gear lever is in position P

(Park).
Manual release

With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake, press

on the brake
pedal
or the accelerator,
pull then release
control lever A
.
The full application of the parking brake
is confi rmed by:


-
extinction of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in control lever lever A
,

If you pull control lever A
with-
out pressing the brake pedal,
the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual applicationMaximum application

If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull
on
control lever A
, until you see the mes-
sage "Handbrake on" and an audible
signal is heard.

In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradient,
make a maximum application
of the parking brake then turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and en-
gage 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 in the instrument
panel is on fi xed, not fl ashing.

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".

138

139
Particular situationsEMERGENCY 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 le-
ver
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. starting the
engine), the parking brake can auto-
matically alter its force. This is nor-
mal 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 park-
ing brake by pulling
then releasing

control lever A
. The full release of
the parking brake is confi rmed by the
extinction of warning lamp in control
lever A
and of the warning lamp in
the instrument panel and display of
the message "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 illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking sta-
bility is not guaranteed.

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control lever A
.

140
Emergency release


For safety reasons, after this
manoeuvre it is essential to
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
urgently to replace the protec-
tive 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 le-
ver 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.

141
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,
if the gear lever is in
position A
or M
.



On a descending slope, with the vehicle
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.
