HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated by an audible signal, accompanied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function
display and ashing of the Sport and
Snow warning lights on the instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (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),
respecting local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is at and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged.
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is being driven) and
the message "handbrake on" on
the multi-function display, indicates
that the handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
The handbrake must not be used
to stop or brake while the vehicle
is moving.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoevrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure
to be reached more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efciency.
In the event of emergency braking,
depending on the force of the deceleration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on acceleration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault", it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP
and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message 'Braking
fault', it indicates that there is a malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very rmly without releasing
the pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated under the steering wheel to
the left.
Operating check
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these
systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, accompanied by a message on
the multifunction display: the
ASR and ESP systems are disarmed.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light ashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light ashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed
to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bags inate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not serious, for which the seat belt is sufcient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is disarmed.
Disarming the passenger air
bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
killed or seriously injured if the air bag
were to inate.
F With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then remove the key keeping the slot in
this position.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and the message "Air
bag fault" on the multi-function display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
Front air bag fault
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout the disarming process.
