Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-
t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-
u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
-
do
wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling 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 get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Operating fault

Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need
to check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
or
-
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
-
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel
rim type) does not have a sensor.
In the event of a problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment, the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels are not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Tyre under-inflation
detection with
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert once a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not eliminate the need
to check the tyre inflation pressures
(including the spare) every month and
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases

Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the system has been reinitialised
with all four tyres inflated to the correct
pressures.
