2023 PEUGEOT 508 roof

160
Practical information
Fitting directly to the roof
(Sedan)


At the front

At the rear
The transverse bars must only be attached to
the four anchor points located on the roof frame.
These points are hidden by the door seals; lift up
the seal to access the anchor point.
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted in
the pin of each fixing point.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
(SW)


The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Roof box
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the compatible
fasteners.


Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars - risk of major damage!
Bicycle / accessory carrier
Do not attach an accessory carrier to the
tailgate.

In the event of a breakdown
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–


If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Consult a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12

V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch the ignition off.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►

Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►


Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►


Connect the cables of charger B

as follows:
•

the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery

A,
•

the negative (-) black cable to earth point C


on the vehicle.
►

At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B

before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components.
24V
12V
Disconnecting/reconnecting the
battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of
charge for starting the engine, we recommend
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be
unused for an extended period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►

Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►


Switch off all electricity-consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
►


Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
minutes.
After accessing the battery, it is only necessary
to disconnect the (+) terminal.

on the (+) terminal.
•

Push clamp

quick-release connector.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–

Electronic key
.
– Sunroof and electric blind.
– Electric windows.
–

Date and time.
–


Preset radio stations.
After reconnecting the battery, the message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.

Voice commands
First steps
(depending on equipment)
The voice recognition service offers a
choice of 20 languages minimum (French,
German, English (UK), English (US), Arabic, Brazilian, Chinese, Danish, Spanish, Hebrew,
Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Czech, Turkish)
available with the cellular network and in line
with the language chosen and previously
configured in the system.
The system supports two languages

for cases
where the area in which the vehicle is travelling
is not covered by the cellular network.
These languages, referred to as on-board
languages,

are downloaded into the system.
If the chosen language has not been
downloaded, a message on the screen appears
as soon as the cellular network is not connected
for the first time and offers to download it.
T
o use this new language in all areas, download
it beforehand (ignition on without starting the
engine) via the Wi-Fi network.
Apply the download procedure displayed on the
screen.
Downloading this new language removes the
least used on-board language.
Information - Using the
system
When voice commands are
activated, say your command after
the audible signal.
For commands in several stages, interaction
takes place with the system to complete the
initial request.
Some commands self-validate after 7
seconds.
If the system has not taken your command into
account, it will indicate this by a voice message
and an on-screen display.
Opening voice recognition
Voice commands can be used on
any screen page, provided there
are no other sources which take priority in use
(reverse, emergency or assistance call,
telephone call, other smartphone voice
recognition already launched).
Choice of opening voice recognition:
►

Say


"OK Peugeot".
or
►

Press the button located on the steering
wheel.
or
►


Press the touch screen button.
To ensure that voice commands are always recognised by the system, please
follow these recommendations:
–

Use natural language in a normal tone
without breaking up words or raising your
voice.
–


After opening voice recognition with the
steering wheel-mounted button or the button
on the touch screen, always wait for the
"beep” (audible signal) before talking. No
"beep" sounds when voice recognition is
opened using "OK Peugeot".
–


For optimal operation, it is recommended
that you close the windows and the sunroof
