Particular situations

In certain situations (e.g. start-

ing  the  engine),  the  parking  brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To  advance  your  vehicle  a  few  cen-
timetres  without  starting  the  engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake  pedal  and  release  the  park-
ing brake  by pulling  then  releasing
control  lever   A .  The  full  release  of

the parking brake is conﬁ rmed by the

warning  lamp  in  the  control  lever   A
and  the  warning  lamp  in  the  instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs  while
applied

or if the battery runs ﬂ at, an

emergency release is always pos-
sible.

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 the control
lever   A   will stop the vehicle .
The  electronic  stability  programme
(ESP)  provides  stability  during  emer-
gency braking.
If  there  is  a  fault  with  the  emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:
   -

"Parking brake faulty".

"Parking brake control faulty".

If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be

assured by the driver by repeating al-
ternate "pull release" actions on control
lever A .

  The  emergency  braking  must
only  be  used  in  exceptional
circumstances.

136

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 urgently.

 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 tool-
box.

The

operation

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 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.

137

HILL START ASSIST

System  which  keeps  your  vehicle  im-
mobilised  temporarily  (approximately
2  seconds)  when  starting  on  a  gradi-
ent, 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  momentarily  when  you  release
the brake pedal:
   -   provided you are in ﬁ rst gear or neu-

tral on a manual gearbox,

provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gear control gearbox,

provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.

  On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle  stationary  and  reverse  gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily  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  engine  running,  apply  the  park-
ing 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 ﬁ xed

(not ﬂ ashing).

If a fault occurs, these warning lamps
come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

140

System which projects various informa-

tion onto a transparent strip in the ﬁ eld

of vision of the driver so that they do not
have to take their eyes off the road.
This system operates when the engine
is running and the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

   1.   Head-up display on/off.
  2.   Brightness adjustment.
  3.   Display height adjustment.
The strip is activated by pressing one of
the buttons.

Once  the  system  has  been  activated,
the following information is grouped to-
gether in the head-up display:
   A.   The speed of your vehicle.
  B.   Cruise  control/speed  limiter  infor-

mation.

Buttons

Displays during operation

C. "Distance alert" information (de-

pending on version).

141

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.

 With the engine running, press button 1 .

The activated/deactivated status when
the engine was switched off is retained
when the engine is switched on again.

DISTANCE ALERT*

For the safety time to be observed, refer
to the current legislation or highway code
recommendations in your country.
The  system  operates  when  the  speed
of  your  vehicle  is  higher  than  45  mph
(70 km/h) and below 90 mph (150 km/h).
It  has  a  programmable  visual  alert
which remains in the memory when the
ignition is switched off.
This system is a driving aid and cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place of
the  vigilance  and  responsibility  of  the
driver.

1. On/off.
2. Alert value increase (+)/decrease (-).

The information is grouped together in
the head-up display.
Once the system has been activated:
A. The speed of your vehicle is outside

the operating range.

B. Your vehicle is within the operating

range but no vehicle has been de-
tected.

C. The vehicle in front of you has been

detected.

The  system  switches  to  standby  auto-
matically  if  the  sensor  does  not  detect
the  vehicle  in  front  correctly  (very  dif-

ﬁ cult weather conditions, sensor out of

adjustment, ...). A message is displayed
in the multifunction screen.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:
-

when turning,

when changing lane,

when the vehicle in front is either
too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in

a trafﬁ c jam, ...).

When the vehicle being followed is
much too near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-

play remains ﬁ xed at 0.5 seconds.

Programming the alert value

 Select the alert value required using

button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:

- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".

If the indicator lamp in but-
ton 1

ﬂ ashes, have the sys-

tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

This  system  is  not  an  anti-colli-
sion radar and it does not act of the
movement  of  your  vehicle.  It  pro-
vides  information  but  cannot,  in  any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance  and  responsibility  of  the
driver.

 Press button 1 , the indicator lamp

comes on.

The system is activated but will only op-
erate from 45 mph (70 km/h).

The  alert value  can  be  programmed  to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The  visual  alert  can  be  deactivated  by
programming a value of 0 second.

When  the  time  (in  seconds)  between
your  vehicle  and  the  vehicle  in  front  is
less  than  the  programmed  time  (alert

value), a visual alert ﬂ ashes.

   A  safety  time  of  2  seconds  is
recommended in normal driving
conditions  (correct  traction  and
speed) to avoid a collision in the
event of emergency braking.

  System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding  the  speed  programmed  by
the driver.
When  the  programmed  speed  limit  is
reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al  no  longer  has  any  effect  unless  it  is

pressed ﬁ rmly, which permits temporary

exceeding of the programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed by releasing the
accelerator.

145

  On  a  steep  descent  or  in  the
event  of  sharp  acceleration,
the  speed  limiter  will  not  be

able  to  prevent  the  vehicle  from  ex-
ceeding the programmed speed.
To  avoid  any  risk  of  jamming  of  the
pedals:
   -

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not ﬁ t one mat on top of

another.

Programming

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

ﬁ rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the

programmed speed, which is still displayed, ﬂ ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically

cancels the ﬂ ashing of the programmed speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the

speed  limiter  mode  is  deselected.
The  display  returns  to  the  distance
recorder.

ing buttons: this may result in a very
rapid change in the speed of your ve-
hicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy trafﬁ c.
On a steep descent, the cruise con-
trol  will  not  be  able  to  prevent  the
vehicle  from  exceeding  the  pro-
grammed speed.
To  avoid  any  risk  of  jamming  of  the
pedals:
   -

* According to engine.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on

vehicles ﬁ tted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your  vehicle's  equipment,  the  system
may  advise  you  to  skip  one  or  more
gears.  You  can  follow  this  instruc-
tion  without  engaging  the  intermediate
gears.
The  gear  recommended  should  not
be  considered  compulsory.  In  fact,  the

conﬁ guration of the road, the amount

of trafﬁ c and safety remain determining

factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Example:
-

You are in third gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine

(ﬁ rm pressure on the accelerator

pedal,  for  example,  when  overtak-
ing...),  the  system  will  not  recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
   -   engaging ﬁ rst gear,
  -

engaging reverse gear,

engaging a lower gear.

You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

  The  information  appears  in  the  form
of  an  arrow  in  the  instrument  panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
