Driving
With the ignition on or the engine running, to
release the parking brake, press
the brake
pedal
, pull
then release control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
Manual release
- extinction of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp
in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake off ".
If you pull the control lever A
without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake will not
be released and a message appears in the
instrument panel.
If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull
on control lever A
,
until you see the message “Parking brake
applied fully” and an audible signal 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 slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).
Maximum application
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever A
are on fixed (not flashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
Automatic application,
engine off
- illumination of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp in
the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on". With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the engine is
switched off.
The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
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.

Driving
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 dir ty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front
or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button comes
on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button goes
off.

Practical information
Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the trailer is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted
using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover in the front bumper if your vehicle has
one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.
