Parking brake
Release
F Pull the parking brake lever up gently,
press the release button then lower the
lever fully. Remember to fully lower the parking
brake lever.
When parking on a steep slope, direct
your wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, engage a gear opposite
to the direction the vehicle is facing and
switch off the ignition.
On return to the vehicle, remember
that a gear had been engaged before
starting the engine.
When the vehicle is being driven,
if this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates that the parking brake is
still on or has not been fully released.
Operation
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be checked,
even between two services.
Checks of this safety-related system
must be carried by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps
come on. It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition and start the engine again using the
key.
Maintenance
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
S TA R T m o d e .
This system requires a battery with a special
specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.

Hill start assist
Operation
On an ascending slope with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily
when you release the brake pedal.
With a manual gearbox*, if you are in first gear
or in neutral.
With an electronic gearbox, if you are in
position A .
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in
position D .
Operation
This system helps you move off on a slope, by
holding your vehicle for around 2 seconds, the
time to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal. No one should leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel.
Service
The fixed illumination of these warning lamps
indicates a fault with the system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The hill start assist system is active when:
-
your foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- the driver’s door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
* Depending on version.

Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the
key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while it is
in your pocket as there is a possibility that
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight
of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping
it from working and the remote control
would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off, except for
reinitialisation.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer,
to ensure that only your keys can be used to
open and start the vehicle.
