Driving -> Driving modes for Your Peugeot 2008 SUV Second Generation (2019-2025)

Driving  
For example, to change from P to R, either  
push forwards twice without passing the point of  
resistance or push just once, passing the point  
of resistance:  
– In the first case, the selector goes from P to N,  
then from N to R.  
regenerative braking may be temporarily  
limited, resulting in less deceleration.  
The driver must remain alert to traffic  
conditions and must always be ready to use  
the brake pedal.

With the brake pedal  
– In the second case, the selector goes directly  
from P to R.  
When the brake pedal is depressed, the  
intelligent braking system automatically recovers  
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the  
traction battery.  
This energy recovery also reduces use of the  
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.  
Regenerative braking  
With the Brake function and when  
decelerating  
► Press the control to display the modes on the  
instrument panel, and depending on version, on  
the screen with PEUGEOT Connect Nav.  
With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode  
if the READY lamp is off.  
When the message disappears, the selected  
mode is activated and remains indicated on the  
instrument panel (except Normal mode).  
With the Advanced Grip Control optimising  
traction, additional driving modes are available.  
For more information on Advanced Grip  
Control, refer to the corresponding section.  
Whenever the ignition is switched on,  
The Brake function emulates engine braking,  
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the  
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly  
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.  
The energy recovered when the accelerator  
pedal is released is then used to partially  
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing  
the vehicle's driving range.  
The driver may experience a different  
sensation when depressing the brake  
pedal compared to a vehicle without  
regenerative braking.  
Driving modes  
The driving modes available depend on the  
engine and equipment of the vehicle.  
Driving modes are selected using the following  
control:  
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle  
does not cause the brake lamps to come  
on.  
Normal driving mode is selected by default.  
► From mode D/B, move the push selector  
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.  
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.  
The system status is not saved when the ignition  
is switched off.

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the  
performance of the heating and air conditioning,  
without deactivating them.

– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your  
foot on the brake pedal.  
– Certain slope conditions are met.  
– The driver’s door is closed.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being  
held temporarily by hill start assist.  
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle  
with the engine running, apply the parking  
brake manually. Then check that the parking  
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp  
in the electric parking brake control are on  
fixed.

The hill start assist function cannot be  
deactivated. However, using the parking  
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its  
operation.  
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary  
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held  
for a short time when the driver releases the  
brake pedal.  
Coasting mode  
Depending on version or engine, with an  
EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode  
D, except in Sport mode, gradually and fully  
releasing the accelerator pedal allows free-

Hill start assist  
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary  
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill  
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake  
pedal to the accelerator pedal.  
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,  
the vehicle is held for a short time when the  
driver releases the brake pedal:
