Driving -> Driving recommendations for Your Peugeot 5008 SUV Second Generation (2017-2023)

Driving  
► 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.  
► For hybrid engines, place the mode selector  
in 4WD position (depending on version).  
► 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.  
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 about the state of your vehicle,  
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Do not park the vehicle or leave the  
engine running on a flammable  
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The  
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,  
even several minutes after the engine stops.  
Risk of fire!  
Driving recommendations  
6
► Observe the driving regulations and remain  
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.  
► Monitor your environment and keep your  
hands on the wheel to be able to react to  
anything that may happen any time.  
► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for  
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,  
especially in bad weather.  
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).  
► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that  
require close attention (such as adjustments).  
► During long trips, take a break every two  
hours.  
Never leave children inside the vehicle  
unsupervised.  
Important!  
In case of towing  
Never leave the engine running in a  
closed space without sufficient  
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit  
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and  
requires extra care from the driver.  
On flooded roads  
We strongly advise against driving on flooded  
roads, as this could cause serious damage to  
the internal combustion engine or electric motor,  
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the  
vehicle.  
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!  
Respect the maximum towable weights.  
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by  
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density  
of the air decreases with altitude and the  
performance of the engine reduces.  
In severe wintry conditions (temperature  
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4  
minutes before moving off, to ensure the  
correct operation and durability of the  
mechanical components of your vehicle  
(engine and gearbox).  
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before  
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000  
kilometres).  
Never drive with the parking brake  
applied. Risk of overheating and  
damage to the braking system!  
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:

Nose weight  
If this warning lamp and the STOP  
warning lamp come on, stop the  
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as  
possible.  
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the  
heaviest items are as close as possible to the  
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it  
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum  
permitted without exceeding it.  
Brakes  
Braking distances are increased when towing a  
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use  
of engine braking is recommended.  
Tyres  
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the  
recommended pressures.  
Side wind  
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more  
susceptible to wind when towing.

Anti-theft protection  
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is  
used, the rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible  
signal.  
Electronic immobiliser  
The keys include an electronic engine  
immobiliser system, whose secret code must be  
recognised in order for starting to be possible.  
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the  
display of a message, the engine will not start.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.  
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key  
or the remote control. It would weigh  
down on its shaft in the ignition switch and  
could cause a malfunction.

The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V  
battery of specific technology and  
specification.  
All work concerning the battery must be  
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
The inflation pressures defined for the  
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure  
label.  
For more information on the Identification  
markings, refer to the corresponding section.  
Special cases  
Under-inflation detection  
Checking tyre pressures  
This check should be done when the  
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or  
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at  
moderate speeds).  
The engine will restart automatically if all  
conditions for operation are met again and in the  
following cases.  
– Vehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) on  
2.0 BlueHDi versions with automatic gearbox in  
mode D, or 2 mph (3 km/h) on other versions.  
– The electric parking brake is being applied.  
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes  
for a few seconds, then goes off.  
This system automatically checks the pressures  
of the tyres while driving.  
It compares the information given by the wheel  
speed sensors with reference values, which  
must be reinitialised every time the tyre  
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.  
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or  
more tyres.  
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures  
shown on the label.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow  
chains.  
Under-inflation detection does not  
replace the need for vigilance on the part  
of the driver.  
This system does not avoid the need to  
regularly check the tyre pressures (including  
the spare wheel), especially before a long  
journey.

Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
recommendations  
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in  
any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must comply with the Highway  
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in  
all circumstances and must be able to retake  
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt  
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and  
the state of the road.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
check the traffic, to assess the relative  
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to  
anticipate their movements before indicating  
and changing lane.  
Touch screen  
The alert is kept active until the system is  
reinitialised.  
With the vehicle stationary, the system is

This camera and its associated functions  
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen  
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,  
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or  
masked by a sticker.  
On versions with camera alone, this message  
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed:  
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see

actually are.  
Driving aids  
Sensors  
You should hold the steering wheel  
with both hands, always use the interior and  
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the  
feet close to the pedals and take a break  
every two hours.  
The operation of the sensors as well as  
the associated functions may be disturbed  
by sound interference such as that emitted  
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,  
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of  
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the  
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.  
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors  
may be dirty.  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not  
always detected by the system: distance  
measurements may be distorted.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Manoeuvring aids  
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and during  
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the  
mirrors.  
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle  
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,  
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,  
alternating shade and light) can also impair  
detection performance.  
Radar  
The operation of the radar as well as the  
associated functions may be impaired through  
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in  
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy  
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.  
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact  
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;  
certain types of paint could interfere with the  
operation of the radar.  
In the event of a windscreen replacement,  
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop to recalibrate the camera;  
otherwise, the operation of the associated  
driving aids may be disrupted.  
The sensors do not systematically detect  
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)  
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).  
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind  
spots may not be detected or may no longer  
be detected during the manoeuvre.  
Other cameras  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
relief.  
In the presence of areas in shade, or in  
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate  
lighting, the image may be darkened and with  
lower contrast.  
Maintenance  
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and  
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.  
131  
Driving  
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,  
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away  
from the radar, sensors and cameras.  
By default, some speed settings are already  
memorised.  
Speed Limit Recognition  
and Recommendation  
Refer to the General recommendations on the  
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
As a safety measure, the driver must only  
change speed settings when stationary.  
Mats  
The use of mats not approved by  
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of  
the speed limiter or cruise control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
► ensure that the mat is secured correctly,  
► never fit one mat on top of another.  
Changing a speed setting  
Speed settings can be activated,  
deactivated, selected and changed in the  
Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.

Units of speed  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
units of speed so that it complies with what is  
authorised locally.  
This system displays the maximum authorised  
speed in the instrument panel, according to  
the speed limits in the country in which you are  
driving, using:  
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.  
– Speed limit details from the navigation system  
mapping.  
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
With this button, you can select a memorised  
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the  
programmable cruise control.  
For more information on the Speed limiter  
or Cruise control, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
You should update your navigation  
mapping regularly in order to receive  
accurate speed limit information from the  
system.  
Memorising speeds  
This function, used only for the speed limiter  
and programmable cruise control, lets you  
save speed settings that will subsequently be  
proposed for the purpose of configuring these  
two systems.  
The units for the speed limit (mph or  
km/h) depend on the country you are  
driving in.  
This should be taken into account so that you  
observe the speed limit.  
You can memorise multiple speed settings for  
each of the two systems.  
132  
Driving  
For the system to operate correctly when  
you change country, the units for speed in  
the instrument panel must be those for the

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.

(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

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.  
Activation / Deactivation  
Driver Attention Alert by  
camera  
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention Alert"  
may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert  
by camera".  
It is set via the vehicle  
configuration menu.  
The state of the system stays in the memory  
when the ignition is switched off.  
149  
Driving  
The following situations may interfere  
with the operation of the system or  
prevent it from working:  
– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,  
mud) or multiple (roadworks);  
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings  
not detected);  
Using a camera located at the top of the  
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road,  
the system corrects the trajectory of the vehicle  
while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of  
unintentionally crossing a line.  
Activation/Deactivation  
This function cannot be deactivated on versions  
without a touch screen.  
This function is set via the Driving /  
Vehicle touch screen menu.  
The status of the system stays in the memory  
when switching off the ignition.  
This system is particularly useful on motorways  
and main roads.  
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.  
Detection  
If an unexpected change of direction is  
detected, this warning lamp flashes in the  
instrument panel accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
No warning is transmitted while the direction  
indicator is activated and for approximately 20  
seconds after the direction indicator is switched  
off.  
Lane Departure Warning  
System  
Refer to the General recommendations on the  
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
This system, using a camera which recognises  
solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary  
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on  
the ground.  
If the driver's attention drops and the speed  
is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h), the system  
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected  
change of direction.  
This system is particularly useful on motorways  
and main roads.  
Conditions for operation  
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70  
and 180 km/h).  
– Traffic lane with one or more (continuous or  
broken) ground markings.  
– Steering wheel held in both hands.  
– Direction indicators not activated.  
– ESC system activated and operational.  
Malfunction  
In the event of a malfunction, this warning  
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,  
accompanied by the display of a message and  
an audible signal.  
The system helps the driver only if there  
is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally  
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It  
does not manage the safe driving distance,  
vehicle speed or brakes.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
The driver must hold the steering wheel  
with both hands in a way that allows control  
to be maintained in circumstances where  
the system is not able to intervene (if lane  
markings disappear, for example).  
Active Lane Keeping  
Assistance

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
150  
Driving  
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring System  
system activated, if the driver starts changing  
lanes and another vehicle is detected in the  
vehicle's blind spot, the system will correct  
the trajectory of the vehicle even though the  
direction indicators are on.  
For more information on the Blind Spot  
Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
Operation  
6
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle  
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings  
detected, it makes the correction to the trajectory  
required to return the vehicle to its initial path.  
The driver will notice a turning movement of the  
steering wheel.  
This warning lamp flashes during  
trajectory correction.  
While the direction indicators are on and for  
a few seconds after switching them off, the  
system considers that any change of trajectory  
is voluntary and no correction is triggered during  
this period.  
If the system detects that the driver is not  
holding the wheel firmly enough during  
an automatic correction of trajectory, it  
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered  
to encourage the driver to take back control of  
the vehicle.  
The driver can prevent the correction by  
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during  
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).  
The correction is interrupted if the direction  
indicators are operated.

These functions are especially suitable for  
driving on motorways and main roads.  
For more information on the Active Lane  
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot  
Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding  
sections.  
The system may suffer temporary  
interference in certain weather conditions  
(rain, hail, etc.).  
In particular, driving on a wet surface or  
moving from a dry area to a wet area can  
cause false alerts (for example, the presence  
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot  
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).  
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the  
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.  
Take care not to cover the warning zone in  
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the  
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels  
or other objects; they may hamper correct  
operation of the system.  
Parking sensors  
Refer to the General recommendations on the  
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:  
– In the presence of non-moving objects (parked  
vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).  
– Oncoming traffic.  
– Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner.  
– When overtaking or being overtaken by a very  
long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected  
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the  
driver’s front field of vision.  
Active Blind Spot  
Monitoring System  
Using sensors located in the bumper, this  
system signals the proximity of obstacles  
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in  
their field of detection.  
– When overtaking quickly.  
– In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in  
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a  
stationary object.  
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door  
mirror on the side in question, a correction of  
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross  
a lane marking with the direction indicator  
activated, to help you avoid a collision.

Principle of operation  
The screen is divided into two parts with a  
contextual view and a view from above the  
vehicle in its close surroundings.  
The parking sensors supplement the information  
on the view from above the vehicle.  
Various contextual views may be displayed:  
– Standard view.  
Using one or two cameras, the close  
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst  
manoeuvring at low speed.  
An image from above your vehicle in its close  
surroundings is reconstructed (represented  
between the brackets) in real time and as the  
manoeuvre progresses.  
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when  
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle  
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the  
vehicle remains stationary for too long.  
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using  
both cameras, when going forward and when  
reversing.  
With the engine running, these systems allow  
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
