2017 PEUGEOT 5008 Owners Manual

207
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily loaded,
steep climb.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.Dynamic cruise control
with Stop function
This system provides two functions:
- a utomatic regulation of the
vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver,
-

a
utomatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front, which
can cause even the complete
stoppage of your vehicle.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
For this purpose, a radar is located in the front
b u m p e r.
Principles
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
The dynamic cruise control system
is a driving aid that cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to obser ve
speed limits and safety distances, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time, using the
brake or accelerator pedal as appropriate.Steering mounted controls

speed limit signs and recommendation,

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
18
and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
Automatic gearbox: in D or M mode. When the cruise control is operating, Stop
& Start is automatically deactivated.

ehicle moving, press one of the
buttons 2 or 3
: the current speed of your
vehicle becomes the cruise speed setting.
The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at
" Normal " (2 dashes).
Other wise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually by:
-

a
ction by the driver:
•

o
n button 4 ,
•

o
n the brake pedal,
•

o
n the electric parking brake control,
•

w
hen changing from D to N with an
automatic gearbox.
-

o
r automatically, if operation of the ESC
system is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following braking of the vehicle bringing
it to a complete stop, the system holds
the vehicle stationary; the cruise control
is paused. The driver must press the
accelerator pedal to start off again, then
reactivate the system by exceeding
18
mph (30 km/h) and by pressing
button 2, 3
or 4.
If the driver takes no action following
this immobilisation, the electric parking
brake is applied automatically after a few
minutes.

When the cruise control is paused, it
can only be reactivated when all of the
safety conditions are met. The message
"Activation not possible, conditions
unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation
is not possible.
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed reaches the speed set to reactivate
the function by pressing button 4.
Modification of the speed
setting
Modification from the current
speed

o
r 3, to
raise or lower the setting in steps of + or –
5
mph (5 km/h).
Take care: a prolonged press on
button 2
or 3 will cause a very quick
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Modification from the speed limit

ake an initial press on button 5 ; a
message is displayed to confirm the
memorisation request.
F

P
ress button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
For more information on Recognition of
speed limit signs and recommendation ,
refer to the corresponding section. As a precaution, it is recommended
that you select a cruise speed close to
the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Modification of the
programmed inter-vehicle
distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
-
"Distant " (3
dashes),
-
"Normal " (2
dashes),
-
"Close " (1
dash).
Engine running and cruise control on (green),
you can modify the speed setting.

211
This setting remains in memory, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off. Engine running and cruise control selected
(grey), you can change the inter-vehicle
distance setting:
F
P
ress button 6 to display the selection
screen for inter-vehicle distance,
F
B
y repeatedly pressing button 6
, scroll
through the predefined setting levels.
The selection screen closes after a few
seconds.
The change then takes effect.
Exceeding the programmed
setting
It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed setting is exceeded,
the display of the speed setting disappears
and a message "Cruise control suspended"
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is
released.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
To benefit from all necessary information on
the instrument panel, you must previously
select the "DRIVING" display mode.
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.

The system has brought the vehicle to a
complete stop and is holding it immobilised.
The driver must accelerate to move off again.
The cruise control remains paused until the
driver reactivates it with the speed of the vehicle
above 18

hen following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions
permit.
Cases where the driver is prompted to take
control back immediately:
-

E
xcessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle in front of you.
-

W
hen a vehicle sharply cuts in between
your vehicle and the one in front.
The system must not be activated:
-

W
hen the "space-saver" spare wheel is
being used (depending on version).
-
W

hen towing. Be particularly careful:
-

W
hen motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.
-

W
hen you enter a tunnel or cross a
bridge. The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there are snowfalls, if the front bumper is
damaged, or when the brake lamps have
failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
