Driving
"free-wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle
down without using engine braking. You can
save fuel by anticipating the need to slow down
and lifting your foot fully o󰀨 the accelerator pedal.
COMFORT

suspension.
NORMAL
Restores the vehicle’s original settings.
SPORT
Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the
power steering, accelerator and gear changes
with an automatic gearbox and the possibility of
displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the
instrument panel.
MANUAL
Permanent "Manual" mode with an automatic
gearbox and Full Park Assist.
Enables manual gear changing using the
steering-mounted paddles.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briey 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 xed.
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 rst 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.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in
the event of a malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualied
workshop to have the system checked.
