Peugeot 5008 (2024 year). Manual in english

Safety

At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h),

these warning lamps flash, accompanied by an

increasing audible signal for approximately two

minutes. After two minutes, these warning lamps

remain on as long as the front seatbelts are not

fastened.

Not fastened at the rear

When the ignition is switched on and with the

engine running or the vehicle moving at a speed

below 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp and

the corresponding indicator lamps light up for

1 minute, if one or more rear seat belts are not

fastened.

Unfastened

After the ignition is switched on, the warning

lamp and the corresponding indicator lamps light

up if the driver and/or one or more passengers

unfasten their seat belts.

At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these

warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible

signal for approximately two minutes. After this

time, these warning lamps remain on as long as

the seatbelts are not refastened.

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers

use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must

always fasten the seat belt, even for short

journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they

will not fulfil their role properly.

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the

seat belt may require the seat height to be

adjusted.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

– be tightened as close to the body as

possible.

– be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

– must only be used to secure one person.

– not show signs of tearing or fraying.

– not be changed or modified, in order to

avoid affecting its performance.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5

metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on

Child seats

, refer to

the corresponding section.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

Airbags

General information

This system is designed to improve the safety

of the occupants of the front seats and the rear

outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The

Safety

airbags supplement the action of the seat belts

equipped with a force limiting system.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts sustained in the impact

detection zones:

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a

second impact occurs (during the same or a

subsequent accident), the airbag will not be

deployed again.

* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

Impact detection zones

Front impact zone

Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Front airbags

System that protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

The front airbags are adaptive. In

particular, they inflate less firmly in the

presence of a smaller occupant, with the seat

set in a forward longitudinal position.

Deployment

They deploy, except the front passenger airbag

if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front

impact to all or part of the front impact zone

The front airbag inflates between the thorax and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the

100

Safety

steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,

passenger's side, to cushion their forward

movement.

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

Curtain airbags

This system helps provide greater protection for

the driver and passengers (with the exception

of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a

serious side impact, in order to limit the risk of

injury to the side of the head.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side impact

zone

The curtain airbag inflates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not fix or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Never modify the original definition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates

almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)

then deflates within the same time,

discharging the hot gas via openings provided

for this purpose.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel

by its spokes or resting your hands on the

centre part of the wheel.

101

Safety

Passengers must not place their feet on the

dashboard.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or

hit it violently.

Do not fix or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modification or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as these help to secure the curtain

airbags.

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

seats suited to their size or weight

, on seats

fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

–

Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

–

Children ageing less than 15 months must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

It is recommended

that children travel

on the

rear seats

of the vehicle:

– "

rearward facing

" up to the age of 3.

– "

forward facing

" over the age of 3.

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in firm and steady contact

with the floor.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety in

the event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

child seat harness keeping the slack relative

to the child's body to a minimum, even for

short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened

correctly on the child seat and that it secures

the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint before

installing a child seat with a backrest on a

passenger seat.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once

the child seat has been removed.

102

Safety

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child's shoulder without

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child's thighs.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays,

fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

– A child alone and unsupervised inside a

vehicle.

– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.

– The keys within reach of children inside the

vehicle.

Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing

► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front

seat.

► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact

with it.

In the presence of a dog guard, it

is essential that booster seat type

child seats with backrest be installed in the

second row.

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the

centre rear passenger seat

Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the

highest

and

fully back longitudinal position

with the backrest straightened

"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger

airbag active.

103

Safety

"Rearward facing"

The front passenger airbag must be

deactivated before installing a rearward

facing child seat. Otherwise,

the child risks

being seriously injured or killed if the

airbag is deployed

Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,

as reminded by the warning label on both sides

of the passenger sun visor:

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in

front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the

CHILD can occur.

Deactivating the front

passenger airbag

Passenger airbag OFF

To ensure the safety of the child, the front

passenger airbag MUST be deactivated

when a "rearward facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed in the event of deployment of

the airbag.

Vehicles not equipped with a

deactivation/reactivation control

Installing a "rearward facing" child seat on

the front passenger seat is strictly prohibited

- risk of death or serious injury in the event of

airbag deployment!

Deactivating/Reactivating the front

passenger airbag

For vehicles on which it is fitted, the switch is

located inside the glove box.

With the ignition off:

► To deactivate the airbag, turn the key in the

switch to the "

115

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.

► For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the

mode selector in

4WD

position (depending on

version).

► 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.

116

Driving

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

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.

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.

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

When the ignition is switched on, the gearbox

status is displayed on the instrument panel:

Parking

Reverse

Neutral

Automatic forward gear

M1...6

Manual forward gear

The gear engaged is also displayed in Sport

mode.

However, in all-electric driving, the gear engaged

is not indicated.

The state of the gearbox remains displayed on

the instrument panel for a few seconds after

switching off the ignition.

Operation

Only appropriate mode change instructions are

validated.

With the engine running, if it is necessary to

depress the brake pedal to change modes,

an alert message will be displayed on the

instrument panel.

With the engine running and the brakes

released, if

is selected, the

vehicle moves off, even without pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Never depress the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time - risk of damage to

the gearbox!

If you open the driver's door while mode

is engaged, an audible signal will

sound and mode

will be engaged. The

audible signal stops when the driver's door is

closed.
