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 the control lever A , until you see the message "Handbrake on" and a beep is heard.
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 manually, - when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle 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 release time will be longer.

 appears in the instrument panel.
Snow programme "  "
 Press button "  ", after starting the engine. The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Sport programme "S"
 Press button "S" , after starting the engine. The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
Return to automatic
operation
 At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears.  Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Pull the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time. When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.

The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation Operating fault
Reactivation
 Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
 Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.

Checks

Brake disc wear
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the level checking interval for this component.
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
