Driving
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.

Driving
Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system inter venes only when driving
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 instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
*
According to engine.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer
has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in this

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engaging:
- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
- 2nd gear or higher on an electronic gear
control gearbox or automatic gearbox,
- position A
on the electronic gear control
gearbox or D
on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.
