Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- in par ticular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A
or M
on an electronic
gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in D
or M
on an automatic
gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the

Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of switching on the
system,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

Visibility
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear of
ice before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the
blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to
detach the blades from the windscreen.
In the moment following switching the ignition
off, any action on the stalk positions the wipers
ver tically on the windscreen.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the stalk. To maintain the effectiveness of the "flat-
blade" wiper blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of
wear.
