2018 Peugeot 308 display

135
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the displayed programmed speed flashes.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to
the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver, an audible signal
supplements the alert.
Once the vehicle slows down to the required
setting, the speed limiter is active again: the
speed setting display is fixed once more.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position:
the display of information on the speed
limiter disappears.
Malfunction
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Cruise control
The system automatically maintains
the vehicle’s cruising speed at a
setting programmed by the driver,
without using the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25
mph
(40


km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of the selector in mode D or of
second or higher gear in mode M .Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-
b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

To activate the system again, with the
speed of the vehicle above 25
mph
(40
km/h), press button 4 .
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position:

Malfunction
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. When cruise control is active, be careful
when holding one of the speed setting
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

When the cruise control is paused, it
can only be reactivated when all of the
safety conditions are met. The "Activation
denied, conditions unsuitable" message is
displayed if reactivation is not possible.
Reactivating the function
With a manual gearbox
To reactivate the function, the driver must
accelerate to reach at least 19 mph (30 km/h),
then press one of the buttons 2 , 3 or 4.
With the EAT8 gearbox or with the BlueHDi
150 S&S EAT6 engine
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, the system holds the vehicle
stationary; the cruise control is paused.
The driver should press the accelerator pedal
to move off, then reactivate the system above
19
mph (30 km/h) 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 while (approx. five
minutes).
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed approaches the speed setting to
reactivate the function by pressing button 4 .
Modification of the speed
setting
With the engine running and cruise control on
(green), you can modify the speed setting.
Modification from the current
speed

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 with the wheel at the
" CRUISE " position:
F

P

This setting remains in memory, whatever the state
of the system and when the ignition is switched off.
The selection also applies to the stopping
distance (with EAT6 and EAT8 automatic
gearbox).
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.
