2018 Peugeot 508 parking

190
Operation
F When approaching a parking area, reduce the speed of your vehicle to a maximum of
19 mph (30
km/h).
Function activation
Activating the function can be done in two
ways:F

P
ress this button, located on the
gearbox selector.
or F

Sel
ect "Park Assist " in the
Driving/Vehicle menu of the
touch screen.
Activating the function deactivates Blind
Spot Detection.
At any time, up to starting the entry
manoeuvre or leaving the parking space,
pressing the red arrow located in the
top left-hand corner of the display page
deactivates the function.
Selecting the type of
manoeuvre
A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on
the touch screen: by default, the " Entry" page if
the vehicle has been running since the ignition
was switched on, other wise, the " Exit" page.
F

S
elect the type and side of the manoeuvre
to activate the parking space search.
The selected manoeuvre can be changed
at any time, even when searching for an
available space.
This indicator lamp comes on to
confirm the selection.
Parking space search
F You should drive at a distance of between 0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates as soon
as the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50
km/h)
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 1
m.
For "bay" parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70
m.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors function, it will be automatically
reactivated when activating Full Park
Assist.

During the manoeuvre
As soon as the driver releases the brake
pedal, the system automatically takes control
of choosing the travel direction, for wards or
reverse, acceleration, braking and the steering
direction.
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols: The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by
the display of this screen, with the message
"

Operating limits
- The system may suggest an inappropriate parking space (parking prohibited, work
in progress with damaged road sur face,
location alongside a ditch, etc.).
-

T
he system may indicate that a space
was found but will not offer it because of
a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of
the manoeuvre which does not allow the
vehicle to follow a trajectory required for the
parking.
-

T
he system is not designed for per forming
the parking manoeuvre on a steep slope or
on a sharp cur ve.
-

T
he system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees,
posts, wire fences, etc.).
-

C
ertain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.

Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this indicator lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a Full Park Assist fault.
If the fault occurs during the use
of the system, the indicator lamp
goes off.
If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during Full Park
Assist use, it causes the function to
deactivate.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of about forty minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section.
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f

or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f

or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted
to


"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31 mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
