Coolant temperature indicator
With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:
wait for the engine to cool,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,
when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

Particular situations 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 control A will
stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
In certain situations (e.g.
starting 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 parking
brake by pulling then releasing con-
trol A . The full release of the parking
b r a k e i s c o n fi r m e d b y t h e e x t i n c t i o n o f
warning lamp on control A and of the
warning lamp on the instrument panel
and the displaying of the message
"Handbrake off".
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied or if the battery runs

possible. If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking
stability is not guaranteed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control
A .

Emergency release
For safety reasons, after this
manoeuvre it is essential to
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
urgently 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 control A , or
stopping starting the engine while the
release device is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.
Immobilise the vehicle (or keep
it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,
b y e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r ( m a n u a l g e a r -
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 action
the control and urgently contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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 at the front and at the rear of
one of the rear wheels.
Slide the front left-hand seat back
as far as possible.
L i f t u p t h e fl o o r p l u g 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 or until you hear a
knocking noise. The parking brake
is released.
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.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer than
during normal operation.
Front left seat moved back fully.
In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n u a l d e v i c e c a n
release the parking brake.
