2019 Peugeot 208 ignition

91
Without touch screen
F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
With touch screen
The reinitialisation of the system is done with
the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The reinitialisation of the system is
configured in the Driving/Vehicle
menu.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp, accompanied by
the illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp,
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After any inter vention on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection/off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter on/pause.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 19
mph
(30


km/h).
The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use
of the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on
the accelerator pedal gradually and return to
a


speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.

F Place the thumbwheel at the "LIMIT"
position: speed limiter mode is selected but
is not switched on (PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.
Registering a limit speed
This can be done without switching the limiter
on, but the engine must be running.
To register a
speed higher than the previous
setting:
F

P
ress the SET +
button.
SelectionA short press increases the speed setting by
1 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding increases the setting in
steps of 5
mph (km/h).
To register a
speed lower than the previous
setting:
F

P
ress the SET –
button.
A short press decreases the setting by 1 mph (km/h).
P ressing and holding decreases the setting in steps
of 5
mph (km/h).
On/Pause
A first press on this button switches the speed
limiter on, a second press pauses it.
Exceeding the programmed
limit speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the
programmed speed will not have any effect,
unless you press the pedal firmly past the
point of resistance . The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed setting flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
To return to normal operation of the speed
limiter, reduce your speed to below the
programmed speed setting.
Flashing of the speed setting
It flashes:
-
a fter forcing the accelerator pedal past the
point of resistance,
-

w
hen the limiter cannot prevent the speed
of the vehicle increasing, because of the
profile of the road or when going down
a
steep hill,
-

u
nder sharp acceleration.
Switching the system off
F Place the thumbwheel at the 0 position or
switch off the ignition to stop the system.
The last speed registered stays in memory.
Driving

A short press decreases the setting by 1 mph
( km/h).
Pressing and holding decreases the setting in
steps of 5
mph (km/h).
Switching the function off
F Place the thumbwheel at the " 0" position:
cruise control mode is deselected. The
display returns to the total mileage recorder.
After switching off the ignition, all registered
speed settings are lost.
Malfunction
The registered speed is erased, then replaced
by three dashes.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. When changing the registered speed
setting by means of a
maintained press,
pay attention as the speed may increase
or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the registered speed.
The cruise control system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need
to obser ve speed limits or the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned and
secured to the floor correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to be stored
that will then be offered for configuration of two
systems: speed limiter (limit speed) or cruise
control (cruise speed).
You can memorise up to five speed settings in

pressurisation of the braking system.
The collision can be automatically avoided
if the speed difference between your
vehicle and the one ahead is not more
than 9
mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
impact by lowering the speed of impact.
Activation/Deactivation
It is possible to activate or
deactivate the Active City Brake
from the Driving/Vehicle menu.
The system state remains memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Each subsequent time the ignition is switched
on, if the automatic emergency braking function
is deactivated, a temporary message will
be displayed to point this out when a
speed
threshold (6
mph (10 km/h)) is exceeded. Deactivate the Active City Brake:
-

F
ollowing an impact to the windscreen
close to the sensor.
-
W
hen towing a trailer.
-
W
hen the vehicle is being towed.
-
W
hen the vehicle is about to cross
a toll barrier.
-
W
hen the vehicle is passing through
an automatic car wash.
Operating limits

objects (cardboard box, wall, etc.).
-

V
ehicles not travelling in the same direction.
This system will not trigger or inter vene if the
driver:
-

p
resses the accelerator pedal firmly,
-

t
urns the wheel sharply (avoiding
manoeuvre).
Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, etc.) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop:
-
T
he message "
Automatic braking system
fault " accompanied by an audible signal
indicates that a fault has been detected.
-
F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow, etc.).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same.

Fuel tank
Tank capacity:
- around 50
litres (petrol).
-
around 50
litres (Diesel).
-
around 45


litres (BlueHDi Diesel).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Approximately 5


litres of fuel
remain in the tank. When the
warning lamp flashes, ver y little
fuel remains in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.
Refilling
A sticker on the inner face of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the filler cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing
of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must switch off the engine
.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap by pulling with
a finger at the cut-out 1
.
F I nsert the key in the filler cap, then turn it to
the left 2 . F

R
emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap 3 .
F
F
ill up the tank completely, but do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the
nozzle ; this could cause malfunctions.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F

R

efit the filler cap.
F

T

urn the key to the right, then remove it from
the filler cap.
F

C

lose the fuel filler flap.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5

litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
