Get Safety -> Hill Assist Descent Control Guide for Peugeot 3008 SUV Third Generation (2024-2025)

Safety

During a descent, the system assists the driver

in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing

the brakes.

Operating modes

Snow

Activation/Deactivation

This 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.

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.

(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

Mud

► Press the DRIVE MODE button; 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.

This 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.

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 (70 km/h).

– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,

depending on the type of gearbox.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

Sand

Hill Assist Descent

Control

Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to

steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces

(e.g. gravel, mud).

This 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.

Switching on

By default, the system is not selected.

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of

control of the vehicle when descending, whether

going forward or in reverse.

Safety

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.

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 pretensioning

This system improves safety in the event of a

frontal or side impact.

► To select the system, at speeds below

31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until

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.

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 (70 km/h), the system

is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

the button goes oﬀ.

its green indicator lamp lights up; this lamp

appears in grey on the instrument panel.

► The system becomes active at speeds

below 19 mph (30 km/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

Force limiting system

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving

their protection.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on in green on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of

a message.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and

indicator lamp ﬂashes rapidly.

– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch

pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and

the indicator lamp 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.

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.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia

reel which allows the strap length to adjust

automatically to the shape of the user. The seat
