Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, 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.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not approved by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
F Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the button indicator lamp going out and the
