Driving
It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the
automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and the control lever A
are on, not flashing.
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (this mode is activated by
default),
- Manual Application/Release
Manual application of the parking brake is
done by pulling control lever A.
manual release is done by pushing and
releasing the control lever, while pressing
the brake pedal.
When the driver's door is opened, there is an
audible signal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
switched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated. With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull
control lever A
.
Manual application
Activation/deactivation is done via
the menu in the instrument panel
screen.
The parking brake is then applied and released
manually. The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
- lighting of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp
in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the
engine running, there is an audible signal 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.

Driving
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 the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme (ESP)
provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A
.
Emergency parking brake release
)
if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle
chock B
, located under the boot floor.
)
On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels, opposing the slope.
On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels. In the event of fault with the electric parking
brake or a battery failure, an emergency
mechanical control can be used to manually
release
the parking brake.
)
Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the
brake pedal has not been released), with
the engine running, by engaging first gear
(manual gearbox, position P
(automatic
gearbox) or M
or R
(electronic gear control
gearbox).
)
Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition
on. If you are unable to immobilise the
vehicle, do not operate this control and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
The emergency braking must only be
used in exceptional circumstances.

Driving
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with the electronic gear control
gearbox,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the selector
lever in position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Lighting controls
System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting and signalling.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to provide the best visibility for the
driver and to signal the presence of the vehicle
to other road users:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of par ticular driving conditions:
- rear foglamps to better signal the presence
of the vehicle in foggy conditions,
- front foglamps for better visibility in foggy
conditions and to improve lighting at
intersections and when parking,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.
Automatic lighting
functions
Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- directional headlamps,

Lighting left on audible
signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging
the battery. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps.
- for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated
or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.

the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
)
Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up
or down depending on the traffic side (for
example: when parking on the left; lighting
control stalk upwards; the right hand
sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to position 0 or switch on
the ignition. Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.
