Hill start assist
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, 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,
-
p
rovided you are in position A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
-
p
rovided 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 momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to 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

This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
i
n particular conditions on a slope,
-
w
ith the driver’s door closed.
