The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended in
particularly cold conditions (ice)
and during towing (recovery...).
Refer to the "Manual release"
section.
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 in the in-
strument panel comes on, the
automatic mode is deactivated. The system can be acti-
vated / deactivated by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible beep
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.
Automatic application and release
Application is automatic on switching off
the the engine, release is automatic as
the vehicle starts to move off (activated
by default).
Manual application and release
Manual application and release of the
parking brake is possible by pulling on
the control lever A

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake, pull
on control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- lighting of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in the control lever A
,
When the driver’s door is opened with the
hybrid system active, there is an audible
signal and a message is displayed if the
parking brake has not been applied.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the hybrid sys-
tem active, to release the parking brake,
press
on the brake
pedal
or the accel-
erator, pull then release
control lever A
.
The full application of the parking brake
is confi rmed by:
-
extinction of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in control lever lever A
,
If you pull control lever A
with-
out pressing the brake pedal,
the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull
on
control lever A
, until you see a message
that the parking brake is on accompa-
nied by an audible signal is heard.
In the case of towing a trailer
or parking on a gradient, make
a maximum application 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 instrument
panel is on fi xed, not fl ashing.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a
trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the
parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked
on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- display of a message that
the parking brake is on.
- display of a message that
the parking brake is off.

Special situationsEMERGENCY BRAKING
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g.
driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control lever
A
will
stop the vehicle
.
The dynamic stability control system
(DSC) 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
hybrid system), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centi-
metres without starting the engine, but
with the ignition on, press on the brake
pedal and release the parking brake by
pulling
then releasing
control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by the extinction of warning
lamp in control lever A
and of the warn-
ing lamp in the instrument panel and
display of a message that the parking
brake is 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 DSC system is
signalled by illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking sta-
bility 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 lever A
.

Emergency release
For safety reasons, after this
manoeuvre it is essential to
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
urgently to replace the protec-
tive 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 le-
ver A
, or stopping / starting the hybrid
system while the release device is en-
gaged.
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 hybrid system ac-
tive, by putting the gear selector into
position M
or R
.
)
Switch off the hybrid system but leave
the ignition on (position 2). If it is im-
possible to immobilise 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 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

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 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 ap-
plication may be longer than during
normal operation.

HILL START ASSIST
On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal,
if the gear selector is
in position A
or M
.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, 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
hybrid system active, apply the park-
ing brake manually then ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp and
the warning lamp P

Stopping the vehicle
It is essential to press the
brake pedal when starting the
hybrid system.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When immobilising the ve-
hicle, with the hybrid system
active, it is essential to place
the gear selector in neutral N
.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, check that the gear
selector is in neutral N
, the parking
brake is applied, the ignition is off
and the Ready
lamp is off.
Before switching off the hybrid system,
you can choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this
case, it will not be possible to move
the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you apply
