HILL StArt ASSISt
this system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, 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 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, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched off,
-
when the engine stalls.

Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves


that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed

6 mph (10 km/h),
-
do not stop and do not switch off the


engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.

°C.
A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
the additional heating is fitted with

required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
With the DSC system, maintain course
without trying to countersteer.

Press this button, located in the
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate


the
system.
Anti-slip regulation (ASr)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
