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.

OPERATION

This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,

- in particular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deactivated.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist
phase.

OPERATING FAULT

If a malfunction of the system occurs, these warning lamps come on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral on a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M
on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.


If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and ensure that this warning lamp
on the instrument panel is permanently on.

DRIVING

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due
to the presence of blind spots.






PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate, etc.) which comes within the fi eld of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.

REAR PARKING SENSORS

The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on
which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors

Visual assistance







FRONT PARKING SENSORS

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the
multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the
screen.

The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off.

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always
use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
