Get Driving -> Adaptive Cruise Control Guide for Peugeot 5008 SUV Second Generation (2017-2023)

Driving

If the driver operates a direction indicator

to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise

control allows the vehicle to temporarily

approach the vehicle in front to assist the

overtaking manoeuvre, without ever

exceeding the speed setting.

This system automatically maintains the speed

of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed

setting), while keeping a safe distance from the

vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has

been set beforehand by the driver. The system

automatically manages the acceleration and

deceleration of the vehicle.

With the Stop function, the system manages

the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete

stop.

Drive Assist Plus

6

Only available on versions with electric

automatic gearbox (Hybrid).

This system automatically adjusts the speed and

corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise

Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction

with the Lane Positioning Assist.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

This system is especially suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

For more information on Adaptive Cruise

Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to

the corresponding sections.

Some vehicles present on the road may

not be properly seen or may be poorly

interpreted by the camera and/or radar (e.g. a

lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment

of the distances and lead to the vehicle

inappropriately accelerating or braking.

With the Stop & Go function, the system

manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.

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.

Steering mounted control

The system assists the driver by acting

on the steering, acceleration and braking,

within the limits of the laws of physics and the

capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road

infrastructure elements or vehicles present on

the road 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.

To do so, it has a camera located at the top of

the windscreen and a radar located in the front

bumper.

The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel

depends on the operating status of the system:

(grey colour)

The driver can feel movements in the steering

wheel.

The driver can change the position of the vehicle

at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which

suspends the function. The driver positions the

vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When

the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is

appropriate, they maintain it until the function

is reactivated. The system regains control by

regulating on the new deﬁned position.

Only available on versions with electric

automatic gearbox (Hybrid).

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen, the system identiﬁes lane markings

and steers the vehicle inside this lane, keeping it

in the lateral position chosen by the driver.

ESC system in working order.

DSC/ASR systems activated.

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of

the windscreen and, depending on version, a

radar located in the front bumper.

Seat belts fastened for all passengers.

Stabilised speed on unwinding roads.

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's conﬁguration menu is advised:

– Towing a trailer.

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Vehicles with snow chains ﬁtted.

– Before using an automatic car wash, with the

engine running.

– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in

a workshop.

– Towed vehicle, engine running.

– Damaged front bumper (version with radar).

– Following an impact to the windscreen close to

the detection camera.

This system does not avoid the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system is designed to assist the driver

and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously

monitor the state of the traﬃc, observing the

driving regulations.

Distance Alert

It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian

present in their traﬃc lane.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity

with which the function warns of the risk of

collision.

The threshold is set via the vehicle

conﬁguration menu.

► Select one of the three pre-deﬁned

thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".

The last threshold selected is memorised when

the ignition is switched oﬀ.

As soon as the system detects a

potential obstacle, it prepares the braking

circuit in case automatic braking is needed.

This may cause a slight noise and a slight

sensation of deceleration.

The system is automatically deactivated

once the use of a diﬀerent diameter

"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected,

or if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is

detected.

Deactivation / Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated

at every engine start.

147

Driving

Operation

This assistance will only be provided if the driver

presses the brake pedal.

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph

(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.

– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and

53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with

camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions

with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle

is detected.

This warning lamp ﬂashes (for about

10 seconds) once the function is acting on

the vehicle's brakes.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, keep the brake

pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from

starting oﬀ again.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic

emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop, the engine may stall.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision

detected by the system and the alert threshold

chosen by the driver, several diﬀerent levels

of alert may be triggered and displayed in the

instrument panel.

They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the

speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the

environmental conditions and the operation of

the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,

etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.

Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,

signalling that the vehicle in front is very

close.

The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.

Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,

signalling that a collision is imminent.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

Active Safety Brake

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning the

steering wheel and/or pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Where the speed of your vehicle is too

high approaching another vehicle, the

ﬁrst level of alert may not be displayed: the

level 2 alert may be displayed directly.

Important: the level 1 alert is never displayed

for a stationary obstacle or when the "Close"

trigger threshold has been selected.

This function, also called automatic emergency

braking, intervenes following the alerts if the

driver does not react quickly enough and does

not operate the vehicle's brakes.

It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a

collision where the driver fails to react.

Operation of the function may be felt by

slight vibration in the brake pedal.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the

automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2

seconds.

Operation

The system operates under the following

conditions:

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph

(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

If the driver brakes, but not suﬃciently to avoid a

collision, this system will supplement the braking,

within the limits of the laws of physics.

are alerted by the ﬁxed illumination of this

warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a

message and an audible signal.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

This alert is issued via the display of a message

encouraging the driver to take a break,

accompanied by an audible signal.

If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert

is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.

The system resets itself if one of the following

conditions is met:

– With the engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes.

– The ignition has been switched oﬀ for a few

minutes.

Distraction detection

Refer to the General recommendations on the

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least

every 2 hours.

Depending on version, the function comprises

either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone

or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by

camera" system.

Using a camera placed at the top of the

windscreen, the system assesses the

driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by

identifying variations in trajectory compared to

the lane markings.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads

(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).

At a ﬁrst-level alert, the driver is warned by the

“Take care!” message, accompanied by an

audible signal.

After three ﬁrst-level alerts, the system triggers

a further alert with the message "Dangerous

driving: take a break", accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is opened.

These systems are in no way designed

to keep the driver awake or to prevent

the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.

It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling

tired.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle

drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the

system goes into standby.

The driving time is counted again once the

speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).

In certain driving conditions (poor road

surface or strong winds), the system may

give alerts independent of the driver's level of

vigilance.

Driver Attention Alert by

camera

Depending on version, the "Driver Attention Alert"

may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert
