stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily 
when you release the brake pedal.
With a manual gearbox*, if you are in first gear 
or in neutral.
With an electronic gearbox, if you are in 
position A .
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in 
position D .
Operation
This system helps you move off on a slope, by 
holding your vehicle for around 2 seconds, the 
time to move your foot from the brake pedal to 
the accelerator.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle 
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the 
vehicle is held momentarily when you 
release the brake pedal. No one should 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.
Service

indicates a fault with the system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. The hill start assist system is active when:
- 
your foot on the brake pedal fully 
immobilises the vehicle,
-  when certain conditions of gradient are 
met,
-   the driver’s door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be 
deactivated.

Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's 
registration document, your personal 
identification documents and if possible the 
key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look 
up the key code and the transponder code 
required to order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a 
sensitive system; do not operate it while it is 
in your pocket as there is a possibility that 
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being 
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your 
remote control out of range and out of sight 
of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping 
it from working and the remote control 
would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when 
the ignition is switched off, except for 
reinitialisation.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the 
electronic engine immobiliser system; this 
could cause malfunctions.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make 
access to the passenger compartment by 
the emergency services more difficult in an 
emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children 
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short 
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key 
from the ignition switch when leaving the 
vehicle.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your 
possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, 
to ensure that only your keys can be used to 
open and start the vehicle.
