Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied man-
ually
by pulling
the control lever A
.
When the ignition is on, the parking
brake can be released
manually by
pressing the brake pedal
and pulling

then releasing
the control lever A
.
Automatic application/release
Press the accelerator, press and and re-
lease the clutch (manual gearbox), the
parking brake is released automatically
and progressively on acceleration.
With the vehicle stationary, when the
engine is switched off
, the parking
brake is applied
automatically.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, check that the
braking warning lamp
( red !
) and the warning
lamp P
, located in the control lever A

are on fi xed (not fl ashing).
140 If this warning lamp is on in
the instrument panel, the auto-
matic application/release is de-
activated
, in this case use the
manual application/release.

When the door is opened with
the engine running an audible
signal is heard, apply the parking
brake manually.
Do not leave a child alone in the ve-
hicle with the ignition on, they could
release the parking brake.
If you are towing a trailer or
a caravan or if the gradient
is likely to change (transport
by ship, lorry, towing, ...), ap-
ply the parking brake manually to
maximum force (long pull on control
lever A
) to immobilise the vehicle.

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
REAR VENTILATION
ADJUSTMENT
After pressing the "REAR" button, turn
the adjustment dial of the rear side
vents to decrease or increase the fl ow
of air.
Take care not to obstruct the side vents
and the air outlets on the fl oor.
To shut off the fl ow of air, close the vents
and set the dial to 0. In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.

)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recir-
culation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results
in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so
improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

)

To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked regularly.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic application/release

Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),

- Manual application/release

The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.


Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...). Refer to the
"Manual release" paragraph.

Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation of
this function is possible by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.

Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

R
141
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is run-
ning or off, pull
on the control lever A
.
Application of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:


- illumination of the braking
warning lamp and of the
warning lamp P
in the con-
trol lever A
,

-
display of the message
"Handbrake on".

When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is heard and
a message is displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied, unless the
selector lever is in position P
(Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release

With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press
on the brake
pedal
or the ac-
celerator, pull then release
the control
lever A
.
Full application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


- the braking warning lamp
and of the warning lamp P

in the the control lever A
go-
ing off,

- display of the message
"Handbrake off".
If you pull the control lever A

without pressing the brake ped-
al, the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual applicationMaximum application

If necessary, you can make a maxi-
mum application
of the parking brake.
It is obtained by means of a long pull

on the control lever A
, until you see the
message "Handbrake on" and a beep
is heard.

In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, make a maximum applica-
tion of the parking brake then turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.


Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.

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 manu-
ally,

- when the gradient you are parked
on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
