Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases automatically and progressively when you press the accelerator:  Manual gearbox: press down fully on the clutch pedal, engage first gear or reverse, press on the accelerator pedal and move
off.  Electronic gear control gearbox : select position A , M or R then press on the accelerator pedal.  Automatic gearbox: select position D , Mor R then press on the accelerator pedal. Full release of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control
lever A going off,
- display of the message "Handbrake off ".
When stationary, with the engine running, do not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily, as you may release the parking brake.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on fixed, not flashing.
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.
Particular 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 releasingcontrol 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.

 Pass your fingers under the edge of the gaiter below the gear lever gate.  Unclip the gate by spreading the tongues (located below) then pull away the assembly of selector gate and gaiter.
With an emergency release, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer be assured once the mechanical release has star ted and the mechanical control cannot be used to apply the parking brake again. Do not carry out any action on lever A , or stop/start the engine while the release control is engaged. Have it checked by aPEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The control C cannot be used to apply the parking brake. To re-engage the electric parking brake (after correction of the fault or battery failure), make a long pull on the control lever A until the parking brake warning lamp (!) flashes in the instrument panel, then make a second long pull until this warning lamp comes on fixed (not
flashing).
 Turn the selector gate/gaiter assembly for access to the lever.  Pull hard on the control C to release the parking brake. A loud knock confirms the release of the brake.  Take care to refit the control in its housing.  Replace the selector gate/gaiter assembly.

Manual operation
 Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears.  Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Push the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
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 Pto 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 M1automatically. 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 Pto another position when the battery
is flat. If the lever is not in position P , when the Pdriver'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.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as y ou want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduce s 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 compar tment, - 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.
