Get Driving Guide for Peugeot 108 4 Door 2014-2022

Driving

Important!

Driving advice

Observe driving regulations and remain vigilant

whatever the traffic conditions.

Never drive with the parking brake applied

– Risk of overheating and damage to the

braking system!

As the exhaust system of your vehicle

is very hot, even several minutes after

switching off the engine, never park or run

the engine on inflammable surfaces (dry

grass, fallen leaves, etc.) – Risk of fire!

Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your

hands on the wheel so that you are ready to

react at any time to any eventuality.

As a safety measure, the driver should only

carry out any operations that require close

attention when the vehicle is stationary.

On a long journey, taking a break every two

hours is strongly recommended.

If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:

-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that

might be generated by other users,

-

deactivate the Stop & Start function,

In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate

the need to brake and increase the distance

from other vehicles.

drive as slowly as possible without stalling.

In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),

do not stop and do not switch off the engine.

-

Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with

the engine running. If you have to leave

your vehicle with the engine running, apply

the parking brake and put the gearbox into

neutral or position N or P, depending on

the type of gearbox.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety

conditions allow, make several light brake

applications to dry the brake discs and pads.

If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never leave the engine running in

an enclosed area without adequate

ventilation: internal combustion engines

emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon

monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and

death!

In very severe wintry conditions

Driving on flooded roads

(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee

correct operation and the longevity of

the mechanical elements of your vehicle,

engine and gearbox, the engine must be

left running for 4 minutes before driving.

We strongly advise against driving on flooded

roads, as this could cause serious damage

to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the

electrical systems of your vehicle.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and the

equipment of your vehicle, the system can

recommend you to change gear.

Gear shift recommendations are for information

only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density

and safety remain the deciding factors when

choosing the best gear. The driver therefore

remains responsible for deciding whether or not

to follow the indications issued by the system.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Operating faults

If the vehicle is on a slope, use the brake

to stop the vehicle from moving and place

the gear selector to position N, E or R.

82

Driving

Display

The units for the speed limits (mph or

km/h) depend on the country you are

driving in.

To maintain correct operation of the

system: regularly clean the area in front of

the camera.

It 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 internal surface of the windscreen can

also become misted around the camera.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

On detection of speed limit information, the

system displays the value.

If this speed is exceeded, the sign is displayed

in red and may be accompanied by an audible

signal (depending on the settings chosen for

the Speeding alert).

The speed limit signs present on the road

always take priority over the display by the

system.

The system cannot in any circumstances

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver.

The driver must observe the driving

regulations and must adapt the speed of

the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.

It is possible for the system to not display

the speed limit if it does not detect a speed

limit sign within a preset period.

Activation is taken into account after about

1 second.

vehicle from exceeding the speed

programmed by the driver.

The limiter is switched on manually: this

can be done regardless of the vehicle speed.

However, if you are travelling at less than

18 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will

be set at 18 mph (30 km/h).

The following situations may interfere with the

operation of the system or prevent it working:

-

poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,

falling snow, rain, fog),

-

windscreen area located in front of the

camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-

The use of mats not approved by

PEUGEOT may interfere with the

operation of the speed limiter.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the displayed programmed speed flashes.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:

-

ensure that mats are secured correctly,

never place one mat on top of another.

Principle

An audible signal accompanies the

flashing of the programmed speed when

exceeding the speed is not due to an

action by the driver (steep hill…).

Active City Brake

Active City Brake is a driving assistance

system that aims to avoid a frontal collision or

to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver

does not react or reacts too late (brake applied

too late).

As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the

programmed value, the limiter operates again:

the display of the programmed speed becomes

steady again.

Using a laser sensor and a camera located at

the top of the windscreen, this system detects

a vehicle moving in the same direction or

stationary ahead of your vehicle.

When necessary, the vehicle's braking system

is operated automatically to reduce the speed

of impact or to help avoid a collision with the

vehicle ahead.

This system has been designed to improve driving

safety.

Switching off

F Press the end of the control: the display of

•

the braking assistance systems (ABS,

EBFD, EBA) are not faulty.

The trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)

hare not deactivated or faulty.

The vehicle is not making a sharp turn.

The system has not triggered in the last ten

seconds.

triggering the alert

This indicator lamp lights up on the

instrument panel.

The system is reactivated automatically at

every new start using the key or the "START/

STOP" button.

Operating limits

The system only detects vehicles (cars,

trucks), stationary or moving in the same

direction of traffic.

The alert thresholds determine how you want

to be alerted to the risk of an imminent collision

with the vehicle travelling in front of you.

You can choose from three thresholds:

Deactivation/reactivation

It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,

motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor

non-reflective stationary objects.

A. "Distant", to be given an early alert

This system will not trigger or intervene if the

driver:

(cautious driving).

B. "Normal",

-

presses hard on the accelerator (even if the

speed limiter is active),

C. "Close", to be given a later alert (sporty

driving).

Press this button for more than 3 seconds.

-

or suddenly turns the steering wheel

(avoidance manoeuvre).

This warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and the message

"PCS OFF" is displayed.

The ability to detect is reduced if:

Press this button in succession to

scroll through the thresholds:

The default setting is "Normal".

-

you are driving in an environment with sharp

turns and/or roads in poor condition,

carrying an excessively heavy load which

badly affects the horizontal attitude of your

vehicle,

-

your vehicle skids.

88

Driving

-

passing a vehicle travelling in the other

direction, at a crossroads, when your

vehicle is turning left or right,

if the vehicle in front of you kicks up water or

snow,

if your vehicle stops very close to an

overhanging wall or other vehicles,

when your vehicle quickly draws close to

a vehicle in front,

if the vehicle is raised or lowered,

if the vehicle is passing through a plastic

curtain,

if you are driving in fog or smoke,

if the sensor is misaligned (replacement

after a collision).

When weather conditions are difficult

(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,

etc.), braking distances increase, which

may reduce the system's ability to avoid

a collision.

Do not stick or otherwise attach any object

on the windscreen in front of the sensor.

-

System fault

The driver must therefore remain

particularly cautious.

If there is a system fault, you are

alerted by the flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument

panel.

-

Never let snow build up on the bonnet

or any object above the bonnet nor at

the front of the roof: this could enter the

field of vision of the sensor and obstruct

detection.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

-

In the event of an impact to the

windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the

system and contact a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop to have your

windscreen replaced.

Unwanted triggering

Operating faults

The system may detect a risk of imminent

collision, particularly in the following conditions:

Sensor fault

6

-

detection of an object close to the edge of

the road going into a bend (safety rail, street

light, road sign),

detection of a structure at the top or bottom

of a sharp slope (advertising hoarding,

public lighting),

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.

Operation of the laser sensor may be

disrupted by accumulation of dirt, formation

of condensation on the windscreen or

the presence of a component causing an

obstruction (e.g. an open bonnet).

-

detection of reflective objects (central

reservation, etc.) on the road,

detection of the top bar of a bridge or

a signal gantry,

passing a vehicle travelling in the other

direction in a corner,

If this happens, you are alerted by

the flashing of this warning lamp in

the instrument panel.

Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean

the area of the windscreen in front of the

sensor.

High-pressure jet wash

When washing your vehicle, do not direct

the lance at the lens of the camera from

a distance of less than 30 cm.

Detection may be disrupted:

If the road markings are worn.

If there is little contrast between the

road markings and the road surface,

If the windscreen is dirty.

The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,

objects very close to the bumper or below it are

not visible.

-

In certain extreme weather conditions:

fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight

or direct exposure to the sun (low sun,

leaving a tunnel, etc.), and shadows.

The wide angle lens of the camera distorts

the image on the screen: the distances seen

on the screen may be different from the real

distances. This distortion varies depending on

the load conditions of the vehicle and slope of

the road.

Driving

Under-inﬂation detection

The tyre under-inflation detection system

does not replace the need for vigilance on

the part of the driver.

The tyre pressure specifications for your

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

This system still requires you to check the

tyre inflation pressure (including the spare

wheel) every month as well as before

a long journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs

handling, extends braking distances and

causes early tyre wear, particularly in

adverse conditions (heavy loads, high

speeds, long journeys).

For more information on the

Identification markings, refer to the

corresponding section.

Tyre pressures should be checked when

the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for

1 hour or after a journey of less than

6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).

Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the

pressures shown on the label.

This system automatically monitors the tyre

pressure while driving.

Driving with under-inflated tyres

increases fuel consumption.

The system monitors the pressure in all four

tyres, once the vehicle is moving.

Under-inflation alert

It compares the information given by the

wheel speed sensors with reference values,

which must be reinitialised after every tyre

pressure adjustment or wheel change.

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects a drop in the pressure of one or more

tyres.

This is shown by the warning lamp

coming on, fixed, accompanied by

an audible signal.

F Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and sudden braking.

F Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Detection of loss of pressure does not

always bring about a visible deformation

of the tyre. Do not make do with just

a visual check.

92

Driving

The system must be reset with the ignition on

(switch in the "ON" position or "ON" mode) and

the vehicle stationary.

F If you have a compressor (for example the

one provided in the temporary puncture

repair kit), check the pressure of all four

tyres. If it is not possible to do this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced

speed.

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.

F Open the glove box.

F Press the reinitialisation button.

F

When the indicator flashes

or

3 times in the instrument panel,

the reinitialisation is complete.

F In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare

wheel (depending on equipment).

F Wait a few minutes before switching off

the ignition (switch to "ACC" or "LOCK"

position, or "OFF" mode).

The under-inflation detection system

does not give a warning if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

The new pressure parameters saved are

treated as reference values by the system.

Reinitialisation

Snow chains

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow

chains.

6

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 system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressures of one or more

tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.

A label on the driver's side centre pillar reminds

you of this.

93

Driving

Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed

illumination of the under-inflation

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 work has been done on

the system, the pressures of the four

tyres must be checked and the system

reinitialised.
