Peugeot 308 (2024 year). Manual in english

Driving

Driving recommendations

► Observe the driving regulations and remain

vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.

► Monitor your environment and keep your

hands on the wheel to be able to react to

anything that may happen any time.

► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for

braking and maintain a longer safety distance,

especially in bad weather.

► Stop the vehicle before performing operations

that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).

► During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.

Important!

Never leave the engine running in a

closed space without sufficient

ventilation.

Internal combustion engines emit

toxic exhaust gases such as carbon

monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!

In very severe wintry conditions

(temperature below -23°C), let the engine

run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure

the correct operation and durability of the

mechanical components of your vehicle

(engine and gearbox).

Never drive with the parking brake

applied.

Risk of overheating and

damaging the braking system!

Never park the vehicle and never

leave the engine running on a

flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead

leaves).

The vehicle exhaust system is very

hot, even several minutes after the engine

stops. Risk of fire!

Never drive on surfaces covered with

vegetation (e.g. tall grass,

accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris)

such as a field, a country lane overgrown

with bushes or a grassy verge.

This vegetation could come into contact with

the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems

which are very hot. Risk of fire!

Make sure you do not leave any item in

the passenger compartment which could

act like a magnifying glass under the effect of

the sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or

damage to interior surfaces!

Never leave the vehicle unattended,

with the engine running.

If you have to

leave your vehicle with the engine running,

apply the parking brake and put the gearbox

into neutral or position

(depending on

the type of gearbox).

Never leave children inside the vehicle

unsupervised.

On flooded roads

We strongly advise against driving on flooded

roads, as this could cause serious damage to

the internal combustion engine or electric motor,

the gearbox and the electrical systems of the

vehicle.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a

flooded section of road:

► Check that the depth of the water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that

might be generated by other users.

► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.

► Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In

all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).

► Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety

conditions allow, make several light brake

applications to dry the brake discs and pads.

If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Driving

Noise (Electric)

On the outside

Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when

driving, the driver must pay particular attention.

When manoeuvring, the driver must always

check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.

At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the

pedestrian horn warns other road users of the

vehicle’s presence.

Cooling the traction battery

The cooling fan comes on during

charging to cool the on-board charger and the

traction battery.

On the inside

During use, you may hear certain perfectly

normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such

as:

– Traction battery relay when starting.

– Vacuum pump when braking.

– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.

– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.

Towing

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and

particular care must be taken.

Do not exceed the maximum towable

weights.

At altitude:

reduce the maximum load by

10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower

air density at high altitudes decreases engine

performance.

New vehicle:

do not tow a trailer until the

vehicle has driven at least 620 miles

(1,000 kilometres).

If the outside temperature is high, let the

engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the

vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.

Before setting off

Nose weight

► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are located as close as possible

to the axle, and the nose weight (at the point

where it joins your vehicle) approaches the

maximum permitted, without exceeding it.

Tyres

► Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Lighting

► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer

and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.

If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is

used, the rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically to avoid activating

the audible signal.

When driving

Cooling

Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant

temperature to increase. The maximum towable

load depends on the gradient and the exterior

temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not

increase with engine speed.

► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to

limit the amount of heating produced.

► Pay constant attention to the coolant

temperature.

If this warning lamp and the

STOP

warning lamp come on, stop the

vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as

possible.

Brakes

Using the engine brake is recommended to limit

the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances

are increased when towing a trailer.

Side wind

Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more

susceptible to wind when towing.

Driving

Regenerative braking (Brake function)

The regenerative braking function emulates

engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need

to depress the brake pedal. When the driver

releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows

down more quickly.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is used to partially recharge the

traction battery.

This partial recharging has no effect on

the charge level indicator.

The resulting deceleration of the vehicle

does not cause the brake lamps to come

on.

► From mode

Electric motor

The electric motor included in the automatic

gearbox, which is used for the first start, provides

12 V power supply via the DC/DC converter and

provides electric assistance to the petrol engine.

The electric motor has the following features:

– Provide an additional torque to the gearbox,

optimising the performance of the petrol engine.

– Recover the kinetic energy of the deceleration

phases, converting it into electrical energy, which

can be used for traction or for the power supply

of electrical accessories installed on the vehicle.

– Recharge the 48 V traction battery when the

state of charge is too low.

– Provide all-electric driving only.

These features are achieved through the

following functions set of automatic operating

mode:

– e-Boost.

– e-Creeping.

– e-Launch.

– e-Queueing.

– e-Parking.

A manual operating mode is also available

to activate/deactivate the restart of the petrol

engine while driving: the e-Auto mode.

When mode

is selected on the

automatic gearbox, the noise level in the

engine compartment may increase due to the

start of the charging phase of the traction

battery: this is normal and does not represent

a malfunction.

brake pedal, this function allows the vehicle to

be moved forward or backward in electric mode

without having to depress the accelerator pedal,

as soon as the mode

of the automatic

gearbox is selected.

e-Queueing

This function makes it possible to follow a

queue of vehicles with several stops followed

by restarts of the vehicle, using the e-Creeping,

e-Launch and electric driving modes.

e-Parking

This function allows parking manoeuvres to be

carried out at reduced speed with the help of

the electric motor when the mode

of the

automatic gearbox is selected.

e-Boost

This function allows simultaneous operation

of the petrol engine and the electric motor,

combined with the automatic gearbox.

By fully depressing the accelerator pedal ("kick-

down" function), when the traction battery is fully

charged, it is possible to exceed the torque of

the petrol engine alone, thanks to the additional

torque provided by the electric motor.

Repeated use of the brake pedal causes

the restart of petrol engine to provide

braking assistance.

Special aspects of manual mode

The gearbox only changes from one gear to

another if the vehicle speed and engine speed

conditions permit.

The petrol engine can also be switched off in

manual mode when stopped in traffic or when

the accelerator pedal is released.

For hybrid vehicles, the all-electric potential of

the driving mode used (

Normal

Eco

) is also

retained.

For rechargeable hybrid vehicles, the all-electric

potential of the driving mode used (

Hybrid

Electric

) is also retained.

Using the steering wheel paddles also

causes the restarting of petrol engine.

If high traction is required, the driver can

deactivate the e-Auto mode using the touch

screen application.

Regenerative braking (Brake

function)

The regenerative braking function emulates

engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need

to depress the brake pedal. When the driver

releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows

down more quickly.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is used to partially recharge the

traction battery.

111

Driving

This partial recharging has no effect on

the charge level indicator.

The resulting deceleration of the vehicle

does not cause the brake lamps to come

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched off.

In some situations (e.g. battery full,

extreme temperatures), the amount of

regenerative braking may be temporarily

limited, resulting in less deceleration.

The driver must remain alert to traffic

conditions and must always be ready to use

the brake pedal.

Regenerative braking using the brake

pedal

Energy recovery can also be produced

by depressing the brake pedal in order to

partially recharge the traction battery, without

affecting the charge level indicator.

Starting the vehicle

► Fully depress the brake pedal.

► Start the petrol engine by depressing the

brake pedal until the engine is running at a

stabilised engine speed.

► With your foot on the brake pedal, push once

or twice backwards to select automatic mode

or forwards to shift into reverse gear

► Release the brake pedal.

► Accelerate gradually to automatically release

the electric parking brake.

The petrol engine may stop after the first start if

operating conditions allow (e.g. state of charge

of the traction battery, external temperature,

efficiency of the catalytic converter, torque

demand, selected driving mode, thermal comfort

of the passenger compartment).

Then, the vehicle moves off immediately in all-

electric (e-Launch function).

Switching the

vehicle off

Regardless of the current gearbox mode,

mode

is immediately engaged automatically

when the ignition is switched off.

However, in mode

, mode

will be engaged

after a delay of 5 seconds (time to enable free-

wheeling mode).

Check that mode

has been engaged and

that the electric parking brake was applied

automatically; if not, apply it manually.

The corresponding indicator lamps on the

gear selector and the electric parking

brake control must be on, as well as the indicator

lamps on the instrument panel.

Gearbox malfunction

This warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal and

the display of a message.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),

keeping to the speed limit.

Switching of the gearbox to back-up mode

Depending on the malfunction, the gearbox only

shifts in odd or even gears, locks in one gear or

loses some gears.

For hybrid vehicles, the paddles on the steering

wheel do not work and mode

is no longer

accessible.

You may feel a significant jolt on engaging

reverse gear. This will not damage the gearbox.

Selector malfunction

Minor malfunction

This warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by the display of a message

and an audible signal.

Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a

regenerative braking function.

The drive selector provides traction control

based on the driving style, the road profile and

the vehicle load.

With regenerative braking activated, it also

manages engine braking when the accelerator

pedal is released.

Park

Button for parking the vehicle: the front

wheels are locked (the button lights up to

indicate that it is activated).

Reverse

To engage reverse gear, with your foot on the

brake pedal.

Regenerative braking

With the Brake function and when

decelerating

The Brake function emulates engine braking,

slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the

brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly

when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is then used to partially

recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing

the vehicle's driving range.

The resulting deceleration of the vehicle

does not cause the brake lamps to come

on.

In some situations (e.g. battery full,

extreme temperatures), the amount of

regenerative braking may be temporarily

limited, resulting in less deceleration.

The driver must remain alert to traffic

conditions and must always be ready to use

the brake pedal.

With the brake pedal

When the brake pedal is depressed, the

intelligent braking system automatically recovers

some of the energy and uses it to recharge the

traction battery.

This energy recovery also reduces use of the

brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.

The driver may experience a different

sensation when depressing the brake

pedal compared to a vehicle without

regenerative braking.

Driving modes

The driving modes available depend on the

engine and equipment of the vehicle.

Driving modes are selected using the following

control:

► Press the control to display the modes on the

instrument panel.

► Press the control again to change mode.

With an electric vehicle, when starting the

vehicle, no mode can be selected until the

READY

indicator lamp is displayed.

When the message disappears, the selected

mode is activated and remains indicated on the

instrument panel (except

Normal

mode).

The selected mode is activated immediately.

For petrol, Diesel or hybrid

versions

Whenever the ignition is switched on,

Normal

driving mode is selected by default.

Normal

To restore the default settings.

Eco

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the

performance of the heating and air conditioning,

without deactivating them.

Sport

With a manual gearbox: to obtain more dynamic

driving with action on the power steering,

accelerator and the possibility of displaying the

vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument

panel.

With an automatic gearbox: to obtain more

dynamic driving with action on the power

steering, accelerator, gear changes, displaying

the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument

panel (depending on version) and activation/

deactivation of the display colour (depending on

version).

The selection of the

Sport

mode deactivates the

Stop & Start function / e-Auto mode.

Coasting mode (Petrol or Diesel)

Depending on version and engine, with

the gear selector in mode

, in

Eco

and

Normal

modes, gradually and fully releasing

the accelerator pedal allows free-wheeling

which can save fuel.

A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter

at idle, drop in engine noise).

114

Driving

For rechargeable hybrid

versions

Whenever the ignition is switched on,

Electric

driving mode is selected by default.

Electric

Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.

The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph

(135 km/h).

When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do

not allow the activation or retention of

Electric

mode, the message "

Electric mode currently

unavailable

" is displayed on the instrument

panel. The vehicle automatically changes to

Hybrid

mode.

Conditions of activation

– Adequate battery charge level. Charging

the vehicle after each drive is therefore

recommended.

Electric

mode is available as

long as there is power left in the battery.

– Outside temperature between approximately

-5°C and 45°C.

Manually exiting the mode

► Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or

► Select another mode.

In case of non-use of the vehicle for a

long period (several months), a restart of

the petrol engine may occur even if the

battery is charged.

In the event of multiple starts of the

internal combustion engine without a

sufficient rise in temperature,

Electric

mode

may be temporarily unavailable (natural

phenomenon of dilution of fuel in oil). The

message "

Electric mode unavailable:

automatic operation in progress

" then

appears on the instrument panel.

To regain normal electrical operation, drive

approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway"

conditions or approximately 125 miles

(200 km) in urban conditions.

This phenomenon does not cause any

mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur

several times in the life of the vehicle.

Hybrid

To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption by

managing the

alternating or simultaneous

operation of the two types of engine

depending on driving conditions and driving

style.

Hybrid

mode, it is possible to drive in 100%

electric mode if the battery charge level is

sufficient and acceleration requirements are

moderate.

Sport

To obtain more dynamic driving in order to

benefit from the maximum performance of the

vehicle.

Electric power is used to supplement the petrol

engine as long as there is energy left in the

battery.

For electric versions

Each time the ignition is switched on,

Normal

mode is selected by default.

Normal

This optimises the driving range and dynamic

performance.

To obtain maximum torque and power, depress

the accelerator pedal fully.

Eco

Optimises energy consumption, by reducing

the output of the heating and air conditioning

(without actually deactivating them) and limiting

both motor torque and power.

Sport

Enables more dynamic driving, acting on the

power steering, accelerator and gear changes

with a drive selector and the possibility of

displaying the vehicle’s dynamic settings on the

instrument panel.

Hill start assist

This system keeps the 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.

The 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.

115

Driving

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. Then check that the parking

brake indicator lamp and the

indicator lamp

in the electric parking brake control are on

fixed.

The hill start assist function cannot be

deactivated. However, using the parking

brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its

operation.

Operation

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,

the vehicle is held for a short time when the

driver releases the brake pedal:

– If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual

gearbox.

– If mode

is selected on an automatic

gearbox.

– If mode

is selected on the drive

selector.

Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary

and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held

for a short time when the driver releases the

brake pedal.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, these

warning lamps light up on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of

a message.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine)

This system is designed to reduce fuel

consumption by recommending the most suitable

gear.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and

the vehicle's equipment, the system may

recommend skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are

not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the

configuration of the road, the traffic density and

safety remain determining factors when choosing

the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains

responsible for deciding whether or not to follow

the system’s advice.

The system cannot be deactivated.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

The information appears on the

instrument panel, in the form of an arrow

and the recommended gear.

The system adapts the gear change

instructions according to the driving

conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style

(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).

The system never suggests:

– engaging first gear.

– engaging reverse gear.

Stop & Start (Petrol or

Diesel)

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red

lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically

restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

indicates the intention of moving off again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

116

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.

The function does not affect the functionalities of

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Deactivation/Reactivation

By default, the function is activated when the

ignition is switched on.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

Direct access to the

Shortcuts for driving aids

The display of a message on the instrument

panel confirms the change of state.

If the function is deactivated while the engine is

is selected, with the vehicle stationary.

Time counter

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby

during the journey. It is reset to zero every time

the ignition is switched on.

Special cases

The engine will not go into standby if the

conditions for operation are not met and in the

following cases:

– Steep slope (ascending or descending).

– Sport mode selected (depending on

equipment).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

117

Driving

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the

steering wheel.

Restarting the engine (START mode)

The engine automatically restarts as soon as the

driver indicates the intention of moving off again:

With a manual gearbox:

when the clutch pedal

is fully depressed.

With an automatic gearbox:

– With the selector in mode

: when the

brake pedal is released.

– With the selector in mode

and the brake

pedal released: when the mode

selected.

– With the selector in mode

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of specific technology and

specification.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

e-Auto mode (Hybrid)

The petrol engine stops when low power or

torque is required and in stabilised conditions.

The petrol engine is restarted by the belt starter.

The e-Auto mode can switch off the petrol

engine in the following cases:

– When the operating strategies permit.

– Vehicle speed up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

– When the driver releases the accelerator

pedal in stabilised conditions or in deceleration.

– During the stop phases.

Restarting is only achieved by the belt starter

until the torque demand is available, if the

traction battery is sufficiently charged. When the

torque demand is insufficient, the petrol engine

restarts.

Using the steering wheel paddles also

causes the restarting of petrol engine.

The e-Auto mode cannot switch off the petrol

engine in the following cases:

– The state of charge is less than 30% of the

traction battery energy.

– There is a need for vacuum brake assist

depending on the altitude.

– The Sport mode is selected.

– Maintaining thermal comfort in the passenger

compartment (heating, air conditioning,

demisting/defrosting).

Deactivation/Reactivation

By default, the function is activated when the

ignition is switched on.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

Direct access to the

Shortcuts for driving aids

118

Driving

The display of a message on the instrument

panel confirms the change of state.

Function deactivated, this indicator lights

up in the instrument panel.

If high traction is required, the driver can

deactivate the e-Auto mode using the

touch screen application.

Tyre under-inflation

detection

This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres

suffer a drop in pressure.

The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,

not when stationary.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with

reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed

It takes into account the last values stored

during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore

essential that the tyre pressure is correct during

the operation. This operation is the driver’s

responsibility.

The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel), especially before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

– worsens road-holding.

– lengthens braking distances.

– causes premature wear of the tyres.

– increases energy consumption.

The inflation pressures defined for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the

Identification

markings

, refer to the corresponding section.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done monthly

when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for

1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles

(10 km) at moderate speeds).

Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures

shown on the label.

Snow chains

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow

chains.

Under-inflation alert

This is signalled by the fixed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The loss of pressure detected may not

always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel

(depending on equipment).

Driving too slowly may not ensure

optimum monitoring.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the

event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre

blow-out. This is because analysis of the

values read by the wheel's speed sensors

can take several minutes.

The alert may be delayed at speeds below

25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty

driving mode.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

119

Driving

Reinitialisation

The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the

vehicle and conform to the values written on

the tyre pressure label.

Check the pressures of the four tyres before

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

With the vehicle stationary, the system

can be reinitialised in the

Settings>Vehicle

touch screen application.

► Then select

Safety > Tire Pressure Setup

► Press

YES

to confirm.

The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel.

A message appears, accompanied by an audible

signal.

In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring

function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare

wheel

The use of this type of spare wheel may

suspend tyre pressure monitoring.

In this case, the malfunction warning lamp

comes on and disappears once the wheel

has been replaced by one of uniform size (the

same as the others), the pressure readjusted

and the reinitialisation carried out.

Driving and manoeuvring

aids - General

recommendations

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must comply with the Highway

Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in

all circumstances and must be able to retake

control of it at all times. The driver must adapt

the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and

the state of the road.

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly

monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance

and relative speed of other vehicles, and

anticipate their manoeuvres before using the

direction indicator and changing lanes.

These systems do not make it possible to

exceed the laws of physics.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the door and interior

mirrors, always leave your feet close to the

pedals and take a break every 2 hours.

Manoeuvring aids

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle before and during

the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the

mirrors.

Radar(s)

The operation of the radar(s), along with

any associated functions, may be affected

by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),

in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,

snow), by the masking of the detection zone

with adhesive labels or other objects, or if the

bumpers are damaged.

If the front or rear bumper is to be repainted,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop; certain types of paint could

interfere with the operation of the radar(s).

Take care not to cover the detection zones

on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive

labels or other objects; they may hamper

correct operation of the associated system.

120

Driving

Driving aids camera

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired or not work if the windscreen

area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,

frosty, covered with snow, damaged or

masked by a sticker.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Poor visibility (e.g. inadequate street lighting,

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

(e.g. headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low

sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a

tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also

impair detection performance.

In the event of a windscreen replacement,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to recalibrate the camera;

otherwise, the operation of the associated

driving aids may be disrupted.

Other cameras

The images from the camera(s)

displayed on the touch screen or on the

instrument panel may be distorted by the

terrain.

In the presence of areas in shade, or in

conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate

lighting, the image may be darkened and with

lower contrast.

Obstacles may appear further away than they

actually are.

Sensors

The operation of the sensors, as well as

any associated functions, may be disrupted

by noise pollution such as that emitted by

noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of

snow or dead leaves on the road or in the

event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.

When reverse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors

may be dirty.

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

upset the sensors’ settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be distorted.

The sensors do not systematically detect

obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)

or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).

Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind

spots may not be detected or may no longer

be detected during the manoeuvre.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high pressure,

direct the spray from at least 30 cm away

from the radar, sensors and cameras.

Mats/Pedal trims

The use of mats or pedal trims not

approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with

the operation of the speed limiter or cruise

control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.

– Never fit one mat on top of another.

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are

those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is

stationary, set the display to the required

units of speed so that it complies with what is

authorised locally.

In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop.

121

Driving

Steering wheel with

hands-on detection

(with Drive Assist 2.0)

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on

detection system to avoid distraction on the part

of the driver.

It is prohibited to cover or attach anything to the

steering wheel.

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle and

supervise the whole manoeuvre.

Any use of a system built into Drive Assist

2.0 must remain under the driver’s vigilance.

The system also detects the presence of

hands when using the Lane Positioning assist

system with Drive Assist Plus.

The system may suffer interference or

not work correctly if:

– the steering wheel is covered by some

protection.

– the driver wears thick gloves (e.g. ski

gloves).

In the event of improper detection of hands

on the steering wheel, Drive Assist 2.0 is

not activated or is deactivated after a few

seconds.

Installation of mechanical anti-theft

devices on the steering wheel is

prohibited - risk of damage!

Shortcuts for driving aids

This system displays the maximum speed

authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:

– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.

– Speed limit information from the on-board

navigation system’s mapping.

– Speed limit information from the connected

services.

– Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected

To get valid speed limit information, the

vehicle's current position is sent via the

telematics unit and is immediately deleted

after processing.

Tracking of the vehicle position is not possible

at any time.

This is not impacted by the privacy settings of

the connected services.

On-board navigation mapping should be

regularly updated in order to receive

accurate speed limit information from the

system.

The units for the speed limit (mph or

km/h) depend on the country you are

driving in.

This should be taken into account to ensure

you observe the speed limit.

For the system to work properly when

changing countries, the speed unit of the

instrument panel must match that of the

country you are driving in.

Country selection is only available for audio

systems without on-board navigation.

Automatic sign reading is a driving aid

system and does not always display the

correct speed limits.

The speed limit signs present on the road

always take priority over those displayed by

the system.

The system is designed to detect signs that

conform to the Vienna Convention on road

signs.

Specific speed limits, such as those for

heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.

The display of the speed limit on the

instrument panel is updated when passing

a speed limit sign intended for cars (light

vehicles).

For a suggested maximum speed, when the

vehicle exceeds it, the speed is displayed and

flashes for 3 seconds.

If the vehicle continues to exceed it, the

speed is displayed and flashes for 8 seconds,

accompanied by an audible signal.

Operating limits

The system does not take account of reduced

speed limits, especially those imposed in the

following cases:

– Atmospheric pollution.

– Towing.

– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel

or snow chains fitted.

– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture

repair kit.

– Young drivers.

The system may not display the speed limit if it

does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset

period and in the following situations:

– Non-standard road signs.

– Road signs that are obstructed, damaged or

bent.

recommendations

The driver can select the speed displayed by the

Road signs recognition

system as the speed

setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or

adaptive cruise control using the

button.

125

Driving

If rain is detected, the system proposes a speed

setting to the driver which is lower than the

speed read/sent from the mapping system in

order to adapt to the weather conditions (e.g. on

motorways, the proposed speed is 68 mph (110

km/h) instead of 81 mph (130 km/h).

Speed setting advance recommendations

With Drive Assist 2.0 activated, the system

detects the next speed limit sign, displays it in

the background and proposes this new speed as

the speed setting.

Once memorised:

– If the speed setting is lower than the previous

one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new

speed when it gets to the sign.

– If the speed setting is higher than the previous

one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new

speed when it passes the sign.
