2021 Peugeot 308 spare wheel

102
Driving
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.


For a suggested maximum speed, the first time
that the vehicle exceeds it by more than 3 mph
(5 km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is
displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending
on version).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
– Poor weather (rain, snow).
– Atmospheric pollution.
– Towing.
– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
– Young drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
– Obsolete or incorrect maps.
► ensure that the mat is secured correctly ,
► never fit one mat on top of another .
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit details from the navigation system
mapping.
You should update your navigation mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated as you pass
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.

Driving
6Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
–
Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.
–


Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).


– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations in which the driver must pause the
cruise control system:


– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.

– When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–

Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle
in front of you.


– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
–

Use of the "space-saver" type spare wheel
(depending on version).
–

Towing.
–

Following an impact on the front bumper
.
Be particularly careful:
– When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–

When you enter a tunnel or cross a bridge.
Cruise control operates by day and night,
in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from the
vehicles in front of you according to the traffic
conditions, weather conditions and the state
of the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to cross
the road, in heavy traffic (except for versions
with EAT8 gearbox), on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there is snowfall, if the front bumper is
damaged or when the brake lamps have
failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even reached: loaded vehicle,
ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
–

if the front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of long-range headlamps,
painting of the front bumper),
–


driving on a racing circuit,
–


running on a rolling road,
–


use of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT


may interfere with the operation of the cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

ensure that the mat is secured correctly
,
–

never put one mat on top of another
.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

driving on a winding road,
–


poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow

, heavy rain, thick fog, etc.),
–

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.),
–


radar obstructed (mud, frost, snow
,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
Malfunction
In the event of a cruise control
malfunction, dashes are displayed instead
of the cruise control speed setting.
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a warning message and
an audible signal, to indicate a system
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates automatically if the use of a “space-
saver” type spare wheel is detected or in the
event of a malfunction of the lateral brake
lamps or trailer brake lamps (for approved
trailers).
Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity

.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Distance Alert.
–


Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunction camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.

The system is automatically deactivated when the use of a "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with the
lateral brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Distance Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
►

Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds:
–

"Distant".
–
“Normal".
–
“Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
warning that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
warning that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "Near " trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.

(orange)/(green)
The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the
risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).
– Direction indicators not activated.
– ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to intervene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.


While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and
another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind
spot, the system will correct the trajectory even
though the direction indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Monitoring , refer to the corresponding section.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory, it
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered
to encourage the driver to take back control of
the vehicle.

"Hold the wheel" –

If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it stops correcting and returns control to the
driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
