Get Driving -> Adaptive cruise control Guide for Peugeot 2008 SUV Second Generation (2019-2025)

Driving

To modify the cruise speed setting using the

speed suggested by the Road signs recognition

shown on the instrument panel:

► Press button 5 once; a message is displayed

to conﬁrm the memorisation request.

► Press button 5 again to save the suggested

speed.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

For more information on Adaptive cruise

control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to

the corresponding sections.

setting), while respecting a safety distance from

the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set

by the driver. The system automatically manages

the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

With a manual gearbox, the system slows the

vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30

km/h).

With the Stop & Go function, the system

manages braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop and restarts the vehicle.

The system assists the driver by acting

on the steering, acceleration and braking

within the physical limits and capacities of the

vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements

or vehicles in the surroundings may not be

properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by

the camera and radar, resulting in an

unexpected change in direction, a lack of

steering correction and/or inappropriate

management of acceleration or braking.

The speed is immediately shown on the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Switching oﬀ

► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:

the cruise control information disappears from

the screen.

The brake lamps come on if the vehicle

is slowed down by the system.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake

lamps are not in perfect working order.

Malfunction

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are

displayed ﬂashing and then ﬁxed instead of the

speed setting.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

To do this, the system uses a camera ﬁtted at

the top of the windscreen and, depending on

version, a radar ﬁtted in the front bumper.

Adaptive cruise control

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

Drive Assist Plus

Only available on versions with the EAT8

automatic gearbox and drive selector.

This system automatically adjusts the speed

and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go in

conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.

If the driver activates the direction

indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,

cruise control may temporarily reduce the

distance to the target vehicle to facilitate

recommendations.

This system automatically maintains the vehicle

speed at a value set by the driver (speed

the speed

With an EAT8 gearbox or a drive selector,

following braking that has brought the vehicle to

a complete stop, if the traﬃc conditions do not

allow the vehicle to begin moving again within

3 seconds of stopping, press button 4 or the

accelerator pedal to move oﬀ.

If the driver takes no action after the vehicle

has been stopped, the electric parking brake is

applied automatically after about 5 minutes.

With a manual gearbox, your speed must be

between 19 and 112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).

With an EAT8 automatic gearbox or a drive

selector, your speed must be between 0 and

112 mph (0 and 180 km/h).

► Press button 2 or 3: the current speed

becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph

(30 km/h)) and cruise control is immediately

activated (green display).

Cruise control remains active after

changing gear, regardless of the gearbox

type.

► Press 3 to increase or 2 to decrease the

speed setting (steps of 5 mph (km/h) if held

pressed).

When the driver attempts to reactivate

cruise control, after the function has been

paused, the message "Activation not possible,

unsuitable conditions" is brieﬂy displayed if

reactivation is not possible (safety conditions

not met).

Pressing and holding button 2 or

3 results in a rapid change in the speed

of the vehicle.

Driving

While the vehicle is immobilised, the

following recommendations apply:

– The driver should not leave the vehicle.

– Do not open the boot.

can lead to an incorrect evaluation of

distances and result in inappropriate

acceleration or braking of the vehicle.

– Do not drop oﬀ or pick up passengers.

– Do not engage reverse gear.

Pay particular attention:

– When motorcycles are present and

when there are vehicles staggered across the

traﬃc lane.

– When entering a tunnel or crossing a

bridge.

– Vehicles in a tight bend.

– When approaching a roundabout.

When moving oﬀ again, watch out for

cyclists, pedestrians and animals, as

they may not be detected properly.

If any of the following malfunctions

occurs, do not use the system:

– Following an impact on the windscreen

close to the camera or on the front bumper

(versions with radar).

Operating limits

Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry

weather or moderate rainfall.

Certain situations cannot be managed by the

system and require driver intervention.

Cases not taken into account by the system:

– Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.

– Stationary vehicles (e.g. traﬃc jams,

breakdown).

– When following a narrow vehicle.

Reactivate the system when conditions allow.

Situations in which the driver is prompted to

immediately resume control:

– Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle

in front of you.

– Brake lamps not working.

If the vehicle has undergone any of the

following modiﬁcations, do not use the

system:

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Towing.

– Front end of the vehicle modiﬁed (for

example by adding long-range headlamps or

painting the front bumper).

– Obstructed radar.

– Vehicles crossing your lane.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Situations where the driver must suspend the

system:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

Some vehicles on the road may be

poorly perceived or interpreted by the

camera and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which
