the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

met,
with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release the
brake pedal:
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the

Operating fault
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp is on (not
flashing) in the instrument panel.
If a fault occurs with the system, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
