Hill Start Assist - PEUGEOT 5008 Handbook

HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This system only operates when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver's door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu-
tral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in position A or M on
an electronic gear control gearbox,
- provided you are in position D or M
on an automatic gearbox.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the
parking brake manually then ensure
that the parking brake warning lamp
(and the warning lamp P in the lever
of the electric parking brake) are on
fi xed (not fl ashing).
On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily when you release the brake
pedal.
If a fault in the system occurs, these
warning lamps come on. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop sto have the system checked.
