DRIVING

Front left seat moved back fully.

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency manual device can
release the parking brake.

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
.


)
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 re-
leased.
)
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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.

- The subsequent time required for
application may be longer than dur-
ing 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.

DRIVING

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 ec-
tion 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.

DRIVING

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

You risk damaging the gear-
box:

Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the six gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.

If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off, there
is an audible signal and a message
appears.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), posi-
tion the gear lever at N
and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper. The parking sensors are switched on
:


- by engaging reverse gear,

- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and display of the vehicle in the mul-
tifunction screen.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other
similar object may be detected
at the start of the manoeuvre but may
no longer be detected when the ve-
hicle moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated by:


- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,

- a graphic in the multifunction screen,
with blocks which move closer to the
vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version.
