PARKING BRAKE There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is loaded. HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
DRIVING SAFELY
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been
released properly, this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the instrument panel.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary .
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.

Parking sensors
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
REAR PARKING SENSORS
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Activation / Deactivation
You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Display in the screen
You are advised to deactivate the system if
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if
you are transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle. The activation or deactivation of the system
is stored when the vehicle stops.

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
