Particular situations


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 park-
ing brake by pulling
then releasing

control lever A
. The full release of
the parking brake is confi rmed by the
warning lamp in the control lever A

and the warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs while
applied
or if the battery runs fl at, an
emergency release is always pos-
sible.

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 emer-
gency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:


- "Parking brake faulty".

- "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be
assured by the driver by repeating al-
ternate "pull release" actions on control
lever A
.

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

Emergency release


)
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 operate
the control and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop ur-
gently.

)
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 in front and behind one of the
front 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
.


)

For safety reasons
, it is essential

to continue turning the device as far
as it will go. The parking brake is re-
leased.
)
Remove the release device and store
it with the blocks in the toolbox.


- The operation of the parking brake re-
initialises when the ignition is switched
off then on again. If the reinitialisation
of the parking brake proves impos-
sible, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

- The subsequent time required for ap-
plication may be longer than during
normal operation.


For safety reasons, you must
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible 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 the control
lever A
, or stopping or starting the
engine while the release device is
engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.

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 system only operates 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 system cannot be
deactivated.

Operation


On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu-
tral on a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
on
an electronic gear control gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M

on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily 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
in the lever
of the electric parking brake) are on
fi xed (not fl ashing).


If a fault in the system occurs, these
warning lamps come on. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop sto have the system checked.

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.

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, spec-
tacles or polarised lenses) may ham-
per 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.

GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.


In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
mance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not rec-
ommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

This equipment will become available
during the year.

- always select neutral,

- press the clutch pedal.


)
Raise the ring under the knob and
move the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
