If a fault in the system occurs, these warning lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop sto have the system checked.
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 particular conditions on a slope, - with the driver’s door closed. The hill start assist system cannot be deactivated.
