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 A

are 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 of the
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, pull

control 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.








Electric parking brake

If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, the automatic mode
is deactivated.

Practical information

Driving advice


Distribution of loads



)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.


Side wind



)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.



Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
