Peugeot 2008: Driving / Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary (for approximately 2
seconds) when making a hill start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- certain slope conditions are met,
- the driver’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle
while it is being held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake manually. After that, ensure that the parking brake
indicator lamp and the indicator lamp P in the electric parking brake control
lever are on fixed.
The hill start assist
function cannot be deactivated. However, use of the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle interrupts its operation.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a short time when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox.
- provided you are in mode D or M with an automatic gearbox.
- provided you are in mode D or B with a drive selector.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held for a short time when you release the brake pedal.
