2019 Peugeot 508 warning

141
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F
R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. F

I
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F
I
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Malfunction
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.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied

You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.
To modify the limit speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F

i
n steps of +/- 1 mph (km/h), make
successive short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F

c
ontinuously, in steps of +/- 5 mph (km/h),
press and hold button 2 or 3 .
To modify the limit speed setting using
memorised speeds and from the touch screen:
F

p
ress button 5 to display the memorised
speed settings,
F

p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
The selection screen closes after a few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed. To modify the limit speed setting from the
speed suggested by the vehicle Speed Limit

instrument panel,
F

ake a first 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.Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed limit speed, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance . 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.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
If it is exceeded for a prolonged period of time,
an audible warning ends up being triggered.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed. When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately.
When the programmed speed remains
below the vehicle's speed for a prolonged
period of time, an audible warning will sound.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "
OFF"
position: the display of information on the
speed limiter disappears.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.

After braking causing the vehicle to stop completely, if the vehicle in front restarts almost immediately, the system restarts the vehicle gradually,
keeping the safety distance as programmed up to the speed setting.
If the vehicle is immobilised for more than 3 seconds, simply press button 4 or the accelerator pedal to restart as soon as traffic conditions allow.
The vehicle will accelerate gradually up to the speed setting.
If the vehicle continues to be immobilised, the electric parking brake is applied automatically after a while (approx. five minutes). To restart the vehicle,
the driver must press the accelerator pedal. 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 by pressing one of buttons 2 , 3 or 4. If the driver takes no action
following this immobilisation, the electric parking brake is applied automatically after a while (approximately 5 minutes).

If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an alert
message and an audible
signal, this confirms a
malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
Lane Positioning Assist
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen, the system identifies lane
markings and steers the vehicle inside this lane
to keep it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motor ways and main roads.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
under any circumstances, replace driver
vigilance and respect of the speed limits
and safety distances.
The system does not assess the
behaviour of other vehicles. Therefore,
the
driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding the steering wheel
with both hands and keeping their feet
near the brake and accelerator pedals.
The function cannot be used to
compensate for loss of vigilance caused
by driver inattention or fatigue. It is
recommended to take a break every two
hours.

the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
-

P
oor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
snowfall, rain, fog).
-

D

Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
This system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front, a
pedestrian or, depending on the version, a
cyclist,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
-

W

hen driving on a small-diameter
spare wheel.
-

W

hen towing, especially with an
unconnected or unapproved trailer.
-
Un

Recommendations on care
- Regularly check that the front bumper and
the area of the windscreen located in front
of the camera are clean.
-

R
egularly check that the windscreen wipers
are in good condition.
-

I
n bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the front bumper and windscreen are
