Electric parking brake  
In automatic mode, this system applies the  
Back-up starting  
parking brake when the engine is switched off  
and releases it when the vehicle moves off.  
A back-up reader is fitted to the steering column,  
to enable the engine to be started if the system  
fails to detect the key in the recognition zone, or if  
the battery in the electronic key is flat.  
If the electronic key is not detected or is no longer  
in the recognition zone, a message appears in the  
instrument panel when closing a door or trying to  
switch off the engine.  
At any time, with the engine running:  
►ꢀ To apply the parking brake, briefly pull the  
control.  
►ꢀ To release it, briefly push the control while  
pressing the brake pedal.  
►ꢀ To confirm the instruction to switch off the  
engine, press the "START/STOP" button for  
approximately 5 seconds.  
Automatic mode is activated by default.  
This automatic operation can be deactivated in  
certain situations.  
►ꢀ Place and hold the remote control against the  
back-up reader.  
In the event of a fault with the electronic key,  
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.  
►ꢀ Select mode P on the automatic gearbox, then  
depress the brake pedal.

The engine starts.  
This indicator lamp comes on both on the  
instrument panel and on the control to  
confirm that the parking brake has been applied,  
accompanied by display of the message "Parking

►ꢀ Press the "START/STOP" button for about  
5 seconds.

manual request to apply or release the brake.  
When the vehicle is parked: on a steep

As a safety measure, with an automatic  
gearbox, if the parking brake is not applied,  
immobilise the vehicle by placing the supplied  
chocks against one of the wheels.  
If the brake does not release  
automatically, check that the front doors  
are fully closed.

Automatic application  
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake  
is applied automatically when the engine is  
switched off.

parking brake is not released and a  
message is displayed.  
It is not applied automatically if the  
engine stalls or enters STOP mode with  
Stop & Start.  
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the  
parking brake is applied: the parking  
brake indicator lamps on the instrument panel  
and the control must be on fixed.  
Manual application  
With the vehicle stationary:

The control indicator lamp flashes to confirm the  
application request.

audible signal and a message is displayed on  
opening the driver's door.

vehicle, as they could release the parking  
brake.  
Special cases  
In some situations, you may need to operate the  
Automatic release  
parking brake manually.  
First ensure that the engine is running and that  
the driver's door is closed.

Immobilising the vehicle with the engine  
running  
►ꢀ Use the control to apply the parking brake, if it  
is released.  
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.  
►ꢀ Take 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.  
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.  
To immobilise the vehicle, place the chock  
against one of the wheels.  
This indicator lamp on the instrument  
panel comes on to confirm deactivation of  
the automatic functions.  
Automatic gearbox (EAT8)  
Automatic 8-speed gearbox with a push selector.  
It also offers a manual mode with gear changes  
via control paddles located behind the steering  
wheel.  
►ꢀ 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.  
Mode P is automatically selected when  
the ignition is switched off. The wheels  
are blocked.  
Gearbox selector positions  
►ꢀ Follow this procedure again to reactivate  
automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator  
lamp on the instrument panel going out).  
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer  
to the corresponding section.  
P. Park  
For parking the vehicle: the front wheels are  
blocked.  
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.  
Emergency braking  
R. Reverse gear  
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.  
N. Neutral  
For moving the vehicle with the ignition off, or  
to allow it to free-wheel.  
For more information on Changing to free-  
wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.  
D. Driving in automatic mode  
The gearbox manages gear changes according  
to the style of driving, the road profile and the  
vehicle load.  
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.  
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.
