Driving
Malfunction
Hill start assist
System that holds your vehicle for around
2 seconds, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function.
Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when you release the brake
pedal.
Stop & Start
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby – STOP mode – during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically – START mode – as
soon as you wish to move off again. Restarting
occurs instantaneously, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Hill start assist is only available when:
-
your foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
-
-
certain slope conditions are met,
the driver's door is closed.
