HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
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.
The Hill Start Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and conrmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualied workshop.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,
- when the parking brake is applied,
- when the engine is switched off,
- when the engine stalls.
