Maximum application is essential: - in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually, - when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
- display of the message "Handbrake on". - display of the message "Handbrake off ".
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.

Hill start assist
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a momentarily when you release the brake pedal: - provided you are in first gear or neutral on a manual gearbox, - provided you are in position A or A or AM on an electronic gearbox, - provided you are in position D or M on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held momentarily when you release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised 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 system only operates 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 system cannot be deactivated.
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 engine running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the parking brake warning lamp (and the warning lamp P in the lever of the electric parking brake) are on fixed (not flashing).

The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument panel screen. 5. Cruise control off / resume indication 6. Cruise control mode selection indication 7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays in the instrument panel
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the DSC/ASR systems 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.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

AUTO and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel screen.
Sequential mode
AUTO disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out if the engine speed permits. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to allow vehicle to pull away in the correct gear.
When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to sequential mode.
If position R , A or M is selected, even
with the engine at idle, if the brakes are released the vehicle moves without any action on the accelerator. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle when the engine is running. When carrying out maintenance on the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position N . On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot on brake warning lamp may flash in the instrument panel to prompt you to brake. At high speed, if reverse gear is requested, the N indicator lamp will flash and the gearbox will change to neutral automatically. To engage a gear again, return the lever to position A or A or AM .
