2019 Peugeot 508 ignition

178
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre may
be signalled mistakenly, while moving
obstacles which appear at the sides of
the vehicle and which were not previously
recorded will not be signalled.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the function stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off. The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated during the
space measurement phase of the Park Assist
and Full Park Assist functions.
For more information on the Park Assist or the
Full Park Assist , refer to the corresponding
section.

oom view.
With the engine running, these systems allow
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using one
camera for Visiopark 1 and two cameras for
Visiopark 2. The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.

The display is immediately updated with the
type of view selected.
The state of the system is not memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the view from above is not displayed.
If
the function is activated after the vehicle has
already been driven, the view from above may
be completely displayed. Using one or both cameras, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

Park Assist
This system provides active parking
assistance: it detects a parking space and then
steers in the appropriate direction to park in
this space while the driver controls the driving
direction, engagement of gears, acceleration
and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Visiopark 1
or Visiopark 2 and the activation of the parking
sensors.This system is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle. He or she must always check
the surroundings of the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre and ensure that
the space remains clear during the entire
manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built in the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle. The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
Operation
A.
Parking when entering a "parallel" parking
space.
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space.
C. Parking when entering a "bay" parking
space.

Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 62 litres
(Petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Reser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fluid level is reached in
the tank, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres,
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F

W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is a
part of it). F
I nsert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F

M

far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F

H
old it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F

P
ush the filler flap to close it.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section. If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
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.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop and dispose of in the
containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30


minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
