Get Safety -> Advanced Grip Control Guide for Peugeot 2008 SUV Second Generation (2019-2025)

Safety

To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and

drive carefully!

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Recommendations

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

The vehicle is designed principally

to drive on tarmac roads, but it may

occassionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

However, it does not permit oﬀ-road driving:

– Driving on terrain that can damage the

underbody or tear oﬀ elements (e.g. fuel

pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in

particular.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

Sand

The trailer stability control system

provides an extra safety feature under

normal driving conditions, when following the

recommendations for use of trailers and

current legislation in force in your country. It

must not encourage the driver to take extra

risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable

conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,

exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inﬂated

tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at

excessive speed.

In certain cases, the system may not detect

trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the

system may not be able to prevent sudden

trailer snaking.

This mode allows little spin on the two driving

wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to

move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck

in the sand.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and

poor grip.

– Crossing a waterway.

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

Operating modes

Snow

Activation/Deactivation

This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel

spin to oﬀer maximum traction according to the

snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick

snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also

adapted to the conditions encountered when

driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of

the vehicle.

Advanced Grip Control

This special patented traction control system

improves grip on snow, mud and sand.

(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

Mud

For optimum grip on snow, it is

recommended that you ﬁt the vehicle

with winter tyres.

For optimum system performance, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable

tyres.

► Press the DRIVE MODE button; the various

modes are displayed on the instrument panel.

► Select “Snow”, “Mud” or “Sand” depending

on the context.

The chosen mode continues to be displayed in

the instrument panel.

This mode, when moving oﬀ, allows considerable

spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise

clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the

same time, the wheel with the most grip is

controlled in such a way as to transmit as much

traction torque as possible.

Safety

– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch

► To deactivate, select “Normal” mode or any

other driving mode.

The system is automatically deactivated when

the ignition is switched oﬀ.

The system is no longer available if the

speed of the vehicle is:

– above 43 mph (70 km/h).

– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,

depending on the type of gearbox.

pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and

the indicator lamp ﬂashes slowly; in this case,

the maintained descent speed is lower.

On a downward slope, with the vehicle

stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator

and brake pedals, the system will release the

brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.

The brake lamps light up automatically when the

system is regulating.

If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),

regulation is paused automatically, the

indicator lamp goes back to grey in the

instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in

the button remains on.

Hill Assist Descent

Control

Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to

steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces

(e.g. gravel, mud).

This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of

control of the vehicle when descending, whether

going forward or in reverse.

During a descent, the system assists the driver

in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing

the brakes.

Switching on

By default, the system is not selected.

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

Regulation resumes automatically when the

speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the

slope and pedal release conditions are met.

You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal

again at any time.

For the system to activate, the gradient

must be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gearbox in

neutral.

Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to

the speed to prevent the engine stalling.

With an automatic gearbox, the system can

be used with the selector at N, D or R.

► To select the system, at speeds below

31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until

its green indicator lamp lights up; this lamp

appears in grey on the instrument panel.

► The system becomes active at speeds

below 19 mph (30 km/h); this lamp lights

up in green on the instrument panel.

► When the vehicle begins its descent, the

driver can release the accelerator and brake

pedals; the system regulates the speed:

– If the gearbox is in ﬁrst or second gear,

the speed decreases and the

Switching oﬀ

► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes

oﬀ; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel

goes oﬀ.

At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system

is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

the button goes oﬀ.

When the system is regulating, the Active

Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on in green on the

indicator lamp ﬂashes rapidly.
