Peugeot 2008 2019-2025 Owner's Manual Safety Hill Assist Descent Control

75Safety5Operating modesSnowThis mode constantly adapts the level of wheel spin to offer maximum traction according to the snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also adapted to the conditions encountered when driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of the vehicle.(mode active up to 50 mph (80km/h))MudThis mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much traction torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 31 mph (50km/h))SandThis mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120km/h))Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.Activation/Deactivation►Press theDRIVE MODEbutton; the various modes are displayed on the instrument panel.►Select “Snow”, “Mud” or “Sand” depending on the context.The chosen mode continues to be displayed in the instrument panel.►To deactivate, select “Normal”mode or any other driving mode.The system is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched off.Hill Assist Descent ControlHill Assist Descent Control system for medium to steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces (e.g.gravel, mud).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, the system 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 if the speed of the vehicle is:–above 43 mph (70km/h).–managed by the Adaptive cruise control, depending on the type of gearbox.Switching onBy default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
76Safety►To select the system, at speeds below 31 mph (50km/h), press this button until its green indicator lamp lights up; this lamp appears in grey on the instrument panel.►The system becomes active at speeds below 19 mph (30km/h); this lamp lights up in green on the instrument panel.►When the vehicle begins its descent, the driver can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:–If the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the indicatorlamp flashes rapidly.–If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicatorlamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower.On a downward slope, with the vehicle stationary, if the driver releases 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 (30km/h), regulation is paused automatically, the indicatorlamp 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 (30km/h) again, if the slope and pedal release conditions are met.You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.Switching off►Press the button until its indicator lamp goes off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel goes off.At speeds above 43 mph (70km/h), the system is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on in green on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Seat beltsInertia reelThe seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel which allows the strap length to adjust automatically to the shape of the user. The seat belt returns to its storage automatically when it is not used.The inertia reels are fitted with a device which automatically locks the strap in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Pyrotechnic pretensioningThis system improves safety in the event of a frontal or side impact.Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.Force limiting systemThis system reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.In the event of an impactDepending on the nature and seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
