Get Safety -> Hill Assist Descent Control Guide for Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Safety

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

Standard (ESC)

Recommendations

Your vehicle is designed principally to

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to

occasionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

However, it does not permit off-road

driving such as:

This mode is calibrated for a low

level of wheel spin, based on the

different levels of grip normally

encountered on the road.

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

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.

crossing and driving on terrain which

could damage the underbody or strip

away components (fuel pipe, fuel

cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones

in particular,

Every time the ignition is switched off, the

system automatically resets to this mode.

(mode active up to 75 mph

(120 km/h))

driving on terrain with steep gradients

and poor grip,

crossing a stream.

Snow

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

This mode adapts its strategy to

the conditions of grip encountered

for each of the two front wheels on

moving off.

(mode active up to 50 mph

(80 km/h))

You can deactivate the ASR

and DSC systems by turning

the knob to the "OFF" position.

Hill Assist Descent

Control

All terrain (mud, damp grass,

etc.)

System that provides assistance when

descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,

mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.

The ASR and DSC systems will no longer

act on the engine operation or the brakes

in the event of an involuntary change of

trajectory.

These systems are reactivated

automatically from 31 mph (50 km/h) or

every time the ignition is switched on.

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 torque as

possible.

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, it assists the driver in

maintaining a constant speed, depending

on the gear engaged, while progressively

releasing the brakes.

Safety

During a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if

you release 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,

but the indicator lamp in the button remains lit.

Regulation resumes automatically when the

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

the slope and pedal release conditions are met.

You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal

again at any time.

For the system to activate, the slope must

be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gearbox

in neutral.

Otherwise engage a gear corresponding

to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.

With an automatic gearbox, the system

can be used with the selector at N, D or R.

At a speed below 31 mph

(50 km/h), press this button until

its indicator lamp lights up to

select the system; this indicator

lamp appears in green in the

instrument panel.

When the system is regulating, the Active

Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

The system becomes active at a speed below

19 mph (30 km/h).

F When the vehicle begins its descent, you

can release the accelerator and brake

pedals; the system regulates the speed:

The system is not available:

Switching off

if the speed of the vehicle is above

43 mph (70 km/h),

if the speed of the vehicle is being

controlled by the Adaptive cruise

control,, depending on the type of

gearbox.

if the gearbox is in first or second

gear, the speed decreases and

the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,

if the gearbox is in neutral or if

the clutch pedal is depressed, the

speed decreases and the warning

lamp flashes slowly; in this case,

the maintained descent speed is

lower.

Switching on

By default, the system is not selected.

The system's status is not saved when the

ignition is switched off.

The driver can select the system when

the engine is running, when the vehicle is

stationary or moving at speeds up to 31 mph

(50 km/h).

F Press this button until its indicator lamp

goes off; the indicator lamp also goes off in

the instrument panel.

Above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system is

automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

the button goes off.
