Situations
Consequences
Display of the message " Parking
brake control fault - auto parking
brake activated " and of the following
warning lamps:
- Only the automatic application on switching off the engine and automatic
release on acceleration functions are available.
- The manual application/release of the electric parking b rake and the emergency
braking are not available.
and possibly
fl ashing
Battery fault
- If the battery warning lamp comes on you must stop immediat ely as soon as
the traffi c allows. Stop and immobilise your vehicle (if necessary, place the two
chocks under the wheels).
- Apply the electric parking brake before switching off the e ngine.

138
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. 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 parking
brake by pulling then releasing con-
trol A . The full release of the parking
brake is confi rmed by the extinction
of warning lamp on control A and of
the warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the displaying of the mes-
sage "Handbrake off".
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible. If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting of
this warning lamp, then bra-
king stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control A .

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

139
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,
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 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.

 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 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 dur-
ing normal operation.

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.

140
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 brief moment when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral 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 for a
brief moment 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 parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp and the
warning lamp P on the lever (of the
electric brake) are permanently on.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

143
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 on the head-up display:

A. The speed of your vehicle.

B. Cruise control/speed limiter informa-
tion.

C. Distance alert information (according to
version).
Buttons Displays during operation

144
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, specta-
cles or polarised lenses) may hamper
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 ection
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.
Height adjustment

 With the engine running, adjust the
display to the required height using
button 3 :
- up to move the display up,
- down to move the display down.
Activation/Deactivation Brightness adjustment

 With the engine running, adjust the
brightness of the information using
button 2 :
- up to increase the brightness,
- down to decrease the brightness.

145
DISTANCE ALERT
For the safety time to be observed, re-
fer 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 on
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 current time separating you from this vehicle is displayed per-
manently.

D. The time between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front is less than the
programmed alert value (it fl ashes).
Buttons Displays during operation
Driving aid which informs the driver of
the time interval (in seconds) separa-
ting then from the vehicle in front when
the driving conditions are stable.
It does not detect stationary vehicles
and does not carry out any action on
your vehicle.

146
Activation
Deactivation

 Press button 1 to deactivate the sys-
tem, the indicator lamp switches off.
Reactivation

 Press button 1 again to reactivate
the system.
The last value programmed is retained and the indicator lamp comes on. If the indicator lamp on but-
ton
1 fl ashes, have the sys-
tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Example with a value of 2 seconds:
Operating limits
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
on 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: "-".
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
operate 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 driv-
ing conditions (correct traction
and speed) to avoid a collision
in the event of emergency
braking.

SPEED LIMITER
The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A .

1. Speed limiter mode selection dial

2. Programmed value decrease button

3. Programmed value increase button

4. Speed limiter on/off button
The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel screen.

5. Speed limiter on/off indication

6.
Speed limiter mode selection indication

7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays on the instrument panel
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is
switched on man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
This information also appears
in the head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to this "Driving" section.
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 ac-
celerator.

148
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 pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automati cally
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.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF ).

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.:
55 mph (90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using but tons 2
and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.
