Driving
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on control lever pull on control lever pull on control leverA will stop the vehicle . The dynamic stability control system (DSC) provides stability during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, one of the following messages will be displayed: - "Parking brake faulty". - "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by illumination 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 control lever A .
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
Special situations
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 centimetres 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 confirmed by the extinction of warning lamp in control lever A and of the warning 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 flat, an emergency release is always possible.

Practical information201
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket. Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.
Turn the selector A to the "air" position. Uncoil the black pipe H fully. Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.

Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press button C ), in accordance with the vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on the left hand door aperture). A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop for assistance. Remove and stow the kit. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled to
approximately 120 miles (200 km).
As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.

Removing the cartridge
Stow the black pipe. Detach the angled base from the white pipe. Support the compressor vertically. Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom. Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. Start the vehicle and let the engine run. Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press
button C ), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the accessory's pressure label. Remove the kit then stow it.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressure of your tyres, - inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
Turn the selector A to the "Air" position. Uncoil the black pipe H fully. Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge. The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer. Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers or from a qualified workshop.

The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to spare wheels.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle. For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. It is recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Advice on installation
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road. Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle. Switch off the ignition and ensure that the "READY" lamp is off in the instrument panel. Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
The use of snow chains is only authorised on the front wheels. The selector must be in 4WD mode.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables.
Remove the plastic cover from the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B . Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B (or earth point on the other vehicle). Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on the broken down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes. Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again. Wait until the engine returns to idle then disconnect the jump lead cables in the reverse order. Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to start the engine by connecting a battery charger. Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.

Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is driven. To restore the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run for at least 5 minutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put o n st a n dby.
If the telephone is being used at this time: - it will be maintained for 5 minutes with the hands-free kit of your PEUGEOT Connect Sound or PEUGEOT Connect Navigation, - it will still be possible to finish the call with the PEUGEOT Connect Media.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to ensure that the battery charge is sufficient. Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge the battery. A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the "Battery" paragraph).
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery. After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of thirty minutes. This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
