Release

- Pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release button, then
lower the lever fully.
When driving the vehicle, if
this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message, this means that the parking brake
is still applied or has not been fully released.
Application
- Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise the vehicle.
When parking on a slope,
turn the wheels against the kerb, apply the parking brake, engage a gear and
switch off the ignition.
The
electronic key must be present in the passenger compartment.
For versions equipped with Proximity Keyless Entry and Starting, the
electronic key is also detected in the boot...
In automatic mode, this system applies the parking brake when the engine is
switched off and releases it when the vehicle moves off.
At any time, with the engine running:
to apply the parking brake, briefly pull the control lever;
to release it, briefly push the control lever while pressing the brake
pedal...

Load distribution
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle, and the nose weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The
maximum towable load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude.
Use
genuine towing devices and their wiring harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
