2014.5 Peugeot 308 cruise control

152
the speed regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low.
th
e active cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
th

e system is paused automatically:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down to much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-

i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is
possible that the system may not detect:
th

e cruise control does not take account of:
-
s

tationary vehicles,
-

v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example,
-

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane, -
v

ehicles entering a corner,
-

v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.

153
In the event of a fault with the active cruise
control, you are alerted by an audible signal
and display of the message message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a P
e
uge
Ot

dealer or a qualified workshop. When the cruise control is working, take
care if making a maintained press on
one of the cruise control programmed
speed modification buttons: this can
lead to a very quick change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the active cruise control on
slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when
towing, it might not be possible to attain
or maintain the programmed speed.
Operating fault
the operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed in
certain weather conditions, for example:
with accumulations of snow, ice,
mud,


...
Clean the front bumper, removing the
snow, mud, ...
th

e use of mats not approved by P
e

uge
Ot


may inter fere with the operation of the active
cruise control.to a
void any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n

ever fit one mat on top of another.

Display of inter-vehicle time
using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
this system helps the driver maintain a safe
distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, by displaying the current inter-vehicle
time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line. t
h
e
recommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.Activation / deactivation*
F Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
th

e measurement is displayed for
information only: the system takes no
action on the vehicle.
th

is system does not in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver who
must remain in control of the vehicle at
all times.
th

e system is not designed for urban
use nor for more dynamic driving
(bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at a steady
speed.
th

e system is active in a speed range
between 42 and 93 mph (70 and
150


km/h).
Stationary vehicles and certain other
road users (such as bicycles for
example) are not detected.
th

e system displays inter-vehicle time
values of between 3 seconds and 0.5 of
a second.
Below 0.5 of a second, the value
displayed is maintained at this level,
even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.
th

e state of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off. Activation of the system is done in the " Driving
assistance " menu, with the engine running.
* Depending on version.
Conditions for display
the active cruise control must not be selected
(the active cruise control information is
displayed instead of that for the inter-vehicle
t i m e).
