Automatic application
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is applied automatically when the engine is
switched off.
It is not applied automatically if the
engine stalls or enters STOP mode with
Stop & Start.
In automatic mode, the parking brake
can be manually applied or released at
any time using the control.
Special cases
Immobilising the vehicle with the
engine running
To immobilise the vehicle with the engine
running, briefly pull the control.
Parking the vehicle with the brake
released
In very cold conditions (ice), applying the
parking brake is not recommended.
With an automatic gearbox or drive
selector, mode P is automatically
selected when the ignition is switched off. The
wheels are blocked.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
With an automatic gearbox or a drive
selector, if you open the driver's door
while mode N is engaged, an audible signal
will sound and mode P will be engaged. The
audible signal stops when the driver's door is
closed.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.




► Start the engine.
► Use the control to apply the parking brake, if
it is released.
►

T
ake your foot fully off the brake pedal.
►

Keep the control pushed in the release
direction for 10 to a maximum of 15

seconds.
►

Release the control.
►


Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►


Pull the control in the application direction for
2

seconds.
This indicator lamp on the instrument panel comes on to confirm deactivation of
the automatic functions.
►

Release the control and the brake pedal.
From this point onwards, only the manual
functions, using the control, allow the parking
brake to be applied and released.
►


Follow this procedure again to reactivate
automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator
lamp on the instrument panel going out).
Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide
effective braking or in exceptional circumstances
(e.g.
driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle
can be braked by sustained pulling on the
electric parking brake control. Braking continues
for as long as the control is kept pulled, and
ceases when the control is released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the
instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems
malfunction, indicated by lighting
one or both warning lamps on the instrument
panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.
►

In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by
successive and repeated "pull-release" actions
on the electric parking brake control until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

6Hill start assist
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:
–

The vehicle is completely stationary
, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
–

Certain slope conditions are met.
–


The driver
’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp
in the electric parking brake control are on
fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and you have to move off on a steep
slope (uphill or downhill) with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal, select
position D, release the parking brake then
release the brake pedal.
Operation

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,
the vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
–

If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual
gearbox.
–


If mode
D or M is selected on an automatic
gearbox.
–

If mode
D or B is selected on the drive
selector.


Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when the driver releases the
brake pedal.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
6-speed manual gearbox
Engaging 5th or 6th gear
► Move the gear selector fully to the right to
engage 5th or 6th gear.
Failure to follow this instruction could
cause permanent damage to the gearbox
(inadvertent engagement of 3
rd or 4th gear).
Engaging reverse gear

► Raise the ring under the knob and move the
gear lever to the left, then forwards. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

6Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
►

Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode
(with electric parking brake).
Check that mode
P has been engaged and that
the electric parking brake has been applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the
selector and the electric parking brake control
lever must be on, as well as those on the
instrument panel.
A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.
If the selector is not in position P, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately 45
seconds after the ignition is switched off,
an audible signal sounds and a message
appears.
►

Return the drive selector to position P

;
the audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
When positioned on a steep slope with a
loaded vehicle, depress the brake
pedal, select position P, apply the parking
brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with
electric parking brake), then release the brake
pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears on
the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the
gearbox.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when
changing from

P

to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: – If the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed simultaneously
.
–

In the event of a battery failure, forcing the
selector from position P

to another position.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control
based on the driving style, the road profile and
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also
manages engine braking when the accelerator
pedal is released.
P. Park
Button for parking the vehicle: the front
wheels are locked (the button lights up to
indicate that it is activated).

so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
D. Drive (automatic forward gear)
B. Brake (regenerative braking)
Regenerative braking (the button lights up to
indicate its activation).
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive
selector status is displayed on the instrument
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
B : Brake (regenerative braking activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards
( N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice,
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
For example, to change from
P to R (with your
foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards
twice without passing the point of resistance or
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From mode
D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The status of the function is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel, and depending on version, on
the screen with 3D Connected Navigation. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

147
Driving
6When starting the vehicle, no mode can be
selected until the READY indicator lamp is
displayed.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when
fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in
Normal mode and when unladen.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), by the masking of the detection zone
with adhesive labels or other objects, or if the
bumpers are damaged.
If the front or rear bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
interfere with the operation of the radar(s).
Take care not to cover the detection zones
on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the associated system.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, CarM an uals 2 .c o m

151
Driving
6frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (e.g. inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(e.g.
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also
impair detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly .
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function allows you to save speed
settings which are then used to set the two
systems: the speed limiter (limits the speed
of the vehicle) or cruise control (vehicle
cruising speed).
You can save 6 speed settings for each of the
two systems.
Programming
The speed thresholds can be set in the vehicle configuration menu using the
touch screen.

setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too great.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the
speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control
is automatically deactivated.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction with the adaptive
cruise control, you will be alerted by an audible
signal and the display of the message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the preceding vehicle.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity

.
Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h),
automatic emergency braking may slow
down the vehicle to a complete stop.
Otherwise, for versions with camera only
, the
speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16
mph (25
km/h).
For versions with camera and radar, the
speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph
(50

km/h), if both sensors are able to detect
the thread.
The system also takes motorcyclists into account.
It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5
m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.
This system includes three functions:
–

Collision
Risk Alert.
–

Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need for driver vigilance.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential collision, it prepares the braking
circuit. This may cause a slight noise and a
slight sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward without trailer.
Brake system operational. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

163
Driving
6Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended, for instance:
–

T

owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
–


Driving with snow chains.
–


Using an automatic car wash.
–


Performing any maintenance (e.g.
changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–


T

owing the vehicle.
–

Following a front bumper deformation.
–


Following a damage of the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
In case the detection is degraded or
temporarily unavailable by environment
conditions, then a driver indication is not
displayed (because a driver action is not
requested).
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via the vehicle configuration menu with the audio
system or touch screen.
►

Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "

Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g. actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.
It is possible that collision warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration
if the driver does not brake enough to avoid a
collision. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

164
Driving
This assistance is only provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to
react.
Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h),
automatic emergency braking may slow
down the vehicle to a complete stop.
Otherwise, for versions with camera only
, the
speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16
mph (25
km/h).
For versions with camera and radar, the
speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph
(50

km/h), if both sensors are able to detect
the thread.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–

At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
is detected.
–


The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10

km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
During the flashing time, the function is not
available.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking, keep the brake
pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is
reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can override the automatic emergency braking at any time by
strongly turning the steering wheel (evasive
manoeuver) and/or by firmly pressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may feel hard and vibrate slightly while the function is
operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to
2

seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the vehicle configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, if the automatic braking
system is reduced or degraded.
This is a normal behavior, which does not
request the support of a qualified workshop. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
