Starting and switching off
HILL START ASSIST
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
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.
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 a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
