HILL START ASSIST


An integral part of the ESP system, it
facilitates starting on a gradient by keeping
your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


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

- the engine is running,

- the gradient is steeper than 5 %,
Operation

On a slope, with engine running and the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:


- provided you are in first gear or neutral
with a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position A
or M
with
an electronic gearbox,



On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the engine running and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake pedal.



After 2 seconds, if the vehicle has not
moved off, the system is deactivated
automatically by gradually reducing the
brake pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic sound of brakes being
released will be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is
being held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while the
engine is running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in
the instrument panel.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
these warning lamps come on in
the instrument panel. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, hill start
assist is inactive.

Driving safely


PARKING BRAKE


Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.

If the parking brake is still on or
has not been released properly,
this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the
instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.

Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary
.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).


HAZARD WARNING LAMPS


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lamps are
switched on, the change of direction
function, using the right-hand or left-hand
direction indicator, is deactivated.

138
Towing a trailer

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the sensors
will be deactivated automatically when
an genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3).

Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and towed
loads applicable to your vehicle and also to
the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

Snow chains







SNOW CHAINS


In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation



If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.


Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.


Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.


Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).


Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.


Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It
is recommended that before you leave, you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain
or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.


Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
