HILL START ASSISTANCE
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts
to roll back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical disengaging of
the brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Anomaly
The hill start assistance is deactivated
in the following situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,
- when the handbrake is applied,
- when the engine is switched off,
- when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning light
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message
on the display. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,
- the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5 %,
- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assistance function is a driving
comfort feature. It is not an automatic
vehicle parking function or an
automatic handbrake.

CHECKS

Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible. Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least
fi ve minutes as soon as possible,
when traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if
the service warning light remains on,
consult a PEUGEOT dealer .
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer . Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the display.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...). Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer .
