Get Safety -> Hill Assist Descent Control Guide for Peugeot 5008 SUV Third Generation (2024-2025)

Safety

To select the system, at speeds below 31 mph

of the vehicle.(mode active up to 50 mph (80

km/h))

Hill Assist Descent

Control

Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to

steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces

(e.g. gravel, mud).

This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of

control of the vehicle when descending, whether

going forward or in reverse.

During a descent, the system assists the driver

in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing

the brakes.

(50 km/h):

Mud

This mode, when moving off, allows

considerable spin on the wheel with the least

grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain

grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most

grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as

much traction torque as possible.

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

► Press this button; a window is displayed on

the touchscreen.

Sand

This mode allows little spin on the two driving

wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to

move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck

in the sand.

For the system to activate, the gradient

must be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gear

selector at N, D or R .

► Click "Hill Assist Descent Control" button

to activate/deactivate.

► The system is activated when this

indicator lamp appears in grey on

the instrument panel.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

The system is no longer available if the

speed of the vehicle is:

– above 43 mph (70 km/h).

– managed by the Adaptive cruise control

function.

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

► The system becomes active at

speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h);

this indicator lamp lights up in

green on the instrument panel.

Recommendations

The vehicle is designed principally to drive

on tarmac roads, but it may occassionally

drive on other less passable terrain.

However, it does not permit off-road driving:

– Driving on terrain that can damage the

underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel

pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in

particular.

► When the vehicle begins its descent, the

driver can release the accelerator and brake

pedals; the system regulates the speed:

Activation/Deactivation

By default, the system is not selected.

The state of the system is not saved when the

ignition is switched off.

The driver can also select the system when

the engine is running or when the vehicle is

stationary.

– If the gearbox is in first or second

gear, 5 the speed decreases and the

indicator lamp flashes rapidly.

– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and

poor grip.

– Crossing a waterway.

– If the gearbox is in neutral, the speed

decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly;

Safety

in this case, the maintained descent speed is

lower.

In the event of an impact

Seat belts

Depending on the nature and seriousness

of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may

trigger before and independently of airbag

deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners

is accompanied by a slight discharge of

harmless smoke and a noise, due to

the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes

on.

Following an impact, have the seat belt

system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Inertia reel

Activation of the system may cause noise

in the transmission. This is perfectly

normal and has no consequence on the

behaviour of the vehicle.

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia

reel which allows the strap length to adjust

automatically to the shape of the user. The seat

belt returns to its storage automatically when it is

not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which

automatically locks the strap in the event of a

collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle

rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap

firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in

slightly.

On a downward slope, with the vehicle

stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator

and brake pedals, the system will release the

brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.

The brake lamps light up automatically when the

system is regulating.

If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),

regulation is paused automatically, the indicator

lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel.

Regulation resumes automatically when the

speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the

slope and pedal release conditions are met.

The driver can depress the accelerator or brake

pedal again at any time.

Pyrotechnic pretensioning

This system improves safety in the event of a

frontal or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact,

the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly

tightens the seat belts against the body of the

occupants.

Front seat belts

Each of the front seats has a three-point seat

belt with inertia reel.

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic

pretensioning system and a progressive force

limiting system.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are

enabled when the ignition is on.

Malfunction

Force limiting system

Rear seat belts

In the event of a malfunction, this

warning lamp comes on in green on

the instrument panel, accompanied

by the display of a message.

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving

their protection.

Progressive force limiting system

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, taking

their stature into account, thus improving their

protection.
