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
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

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

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.

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 dur-
ing 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

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:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r n e u t r a l 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.
