System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
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.
For the system to activate, the gradient 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.
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically deactivated.
The system is no longer available:
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function 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 when moving at speeds up to approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
On 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 green indicator lamp in the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.
Off
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the system, this warning lamp comes on in green, accompanied by the display of a message in the instrument panel.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
