Immobilising the vehicle,
engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary, in order to immobilise the vehicle
it is essential to manually
apply the parking
brake by pulling
control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
- illumination 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, a loud 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.
Par ticular situations
In cer tain situations (e.g. star ting the engine),
the parking brake can automatically alter its
force. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres
without star ting the engine, but with the ignition
on, press on the brake pedal and release the
parking brake by pushing
then releasing
control lever A
. The full release of the parking
brake is confirmed by the warning lamps
in the control lever A
and in the instrument
panel going off and display of the message
"Handbrake off ".
If a parking brake fault occurs while applied
or
if the battery runs flat, an emergency release is
always possible.
In order to ensure correct operation and
so your safety, the number of successive
application/release operations of the parking
brake is limited to eight.
In the event of abuse, you are aler ted by a
message "Parking brake faulty" and a warning
lamp flashes.

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
Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
*
According to engine.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P
or N
to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a
message appears in the
instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
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 M1
automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position when the battery
is flat.
If the lever is not in position P
, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, there is an audible signal and a
message appears.
)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at N
and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
