HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, 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,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
Operation

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu- tral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle
with the engine running, manually
apply the parking brake then ensure
that the parking brake warning lamp
and the warning lamp P on the lever
(of the electric brake) are permanent-
ly on.
If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

135
Operating faults
If the electronic parking brake fault warning light comes on together with one or more of the warning lights presented in these
tables, place the vehicle in a safe condition (on level grou nd, gear engaged) and contact a PEUGEOT dealer without dela y.

- If the battery warning light comes on you must stop immedi ately as soon as
the traffi c allows. Stop and immobilise your vehicle (if necessary, place the two
chocks under the wheels).
- Apply the electronic parking brake before switching off the engine.

132
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. star-
ting the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the braking by
means of the brake pedal or in an ex-
ceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous pull
on control A will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the parking
brake
by pulling then releasing con-
trol A . The full release of the parking
brake is confi rmed by the extinction
of warning lamp on control A and of
the warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the displaying of the mes-
sage "Parking brake released".
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release ia always
possible. If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be
assured by the driver by repeating alter-
nate "pull release" actions on control A .
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

Activation
Deactivation

 Press button 1 to deactivate the sys-
tem, the indicator light switches off.
Reactivation

 Press button 1 again to reactivate
the system.
The last value programmed is retained and the indicator light comes on.
If the indicator light on but-
ton 1 fl ashes, have the sys-
tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Operating limits
The system switches to standby auto-
matically if the sensor does not detect
the vehicle in front correctly (very diffi -
cult weather conditions, sensor misad-
justed, ...). A message is displayed on
the multifunction display.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:
- when turning,
- when changing lane,
- when the vehicle in front is either too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in
a traffi c jam, ...).
When the vehicle being followed is ex-
cessively near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-
play remains fi xed at 0.5 seconds.
Programming the alert value

 Select the alert value required using
button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:
- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".
Example with a value of 2 seconds:
This system is not an anti-collision
radar and it does not act of the move-
ment of your vehicle. It is informative
and cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.

 Press button 1 , the indicator light
comes on.
The system is activated but will only ope-
rate from 45 mph (70 km/h).
The alert value can be programmed to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The visual alert can be deactivated by
programming a value of 0 second. When the time (in seconds) between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front is
less than the programmed time (alert
value), a visual alert fl ashes.
A safety time of 2 seconds is
recommended in normal driv-
ing conditions (correct traction
and speed) to avoid a collision
in the event of emergency
braking.

142
On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- do not fi t one mat on top of an- other.
Programming
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

fi rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of int entional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, autom atically can-
cels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the
speed limiter mode is deselected.
The display returns to the distance
recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the dis-
play confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph
(90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons

2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear- box,
- of second gear on the piloted manual gearbox or automatic gearbox, in se-
quential driving mode,
- of position A on the piloted manual
gearbox or D on the automatic gear-
box. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever
A .

The cruise control cannot, in
any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed lim-
its, nor can it replace the need for vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part of
the driver.
The cruise control is
switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP
system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. This information is also dis-
played on the head up display.
