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
.






ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE


Deactivation is recommended in
particularly cold conditions (ice)
and during towing (recovery...).
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 activated/
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, ...) behind
the electric brake control.

Particular situations







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 control lever

A
will stop the vehicle
.
The dynamic stability control system
(DSC) 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
hybrid system), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centi-
metres without starting the engine, but
with the ignition on, press on the brake
pedal and release the parking 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 warn-
ing lamp in the instrument panel and
display of a message that the parking
brake is 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 DSC 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
.

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 hybrid
system while the release device is
engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.


)
Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the hybrid system
active, by engaging gear lever
position M
or R
.

)
Switch off the hybrid system but leave
the ignition on (position 2). If it is im-
possible to immobilise the vehicle,
do not action the control and urgently
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

)
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
.


)
Turn the release device clockwise.

For safety reasons
, it is essential

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


- The operation of the parking
brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

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

HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradient,
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 ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, 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
hybrid system active, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp and the
warning lamp P
on the lever (of the elec-
tric brake) are permanently on.



Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.
