Get Driving -> Active Lane Keeping Assist Guide for Peugeot 208 4 Door 2020

Driving

While the vehicle is immobilised, the

following recommendations apply:

– Do not open doors.

– 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.

When moving oﬀ again, watch out for

cyclists, pedestrians and animals, as

they may not be detected properly.

– Vehicles in a tight bend.

– When approaching a roundabout.

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 fog

or moderate rainfall.

– Brake lamps not working.

Certain situations cannot be managed by the

system and require driver intervention.

Elements not detected by the system:

– Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.

– Stationary vehicles (traﬃc jam, breakdown,

etc.).

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).

– When following a narrow vehicle.

Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.

Situations in which the driver is prompted to

immediately resume control:

– Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle

in front of you.

Active Lane Keeping

Assist

Refer to the General recommendations on the

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

– Vehicles crossing your lane.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Situations in which the driver must pause the

cruise control system:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

115

Driving

► With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &

Go function activated, press this button.

The action is conﬁrmed by:

– The indicator lamp in the button lighting up

green.

– The following symbol being displayed on the

instrument panel.

The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel

depends on the operating status of the system:

(grey colour)

This position is not necessarily the centre of the

lane.

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.

When the driver feels that the vehicle’s position

is appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the

steering wheel, they must release the pressure

to let the system resume control of the steering,

but the vehicle will not be automatically centred

within the lane.

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen, the system identiﬁes lane markings

and steers the vehicle inside this lane to keep it

in the lateral position chosen by the driver.

This function is primarily suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

One or more operating conditions is not

met; the system is paused.

(green colour)

All operating conditions are met; the

system is active.

Conditions for operation

– Adaptive Cruise Control active.

– Traﬃc lane marked out by lines on both sides.

– ESC system operational.

– ASR system activated.

– No trailer detected.

– No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.

– Vehicle not subject to strong lateral g-forces.

– Direction indicators not activated.

Pausing/Suspending the

system

(orange colour)

System malfunction.

The driver must act promptly if they

believe that the traﬃc conditions or the

state of the road surface require their

intervention, by moving the steering wheel to

temporarily suspend system operation. Any

action on the brake pedal that results in cruise

control being paused will also cause the

system to be paused.

If the driver no longer wishes to use the system

for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the

button again.

The indicator lamp in the button goes oﬀ and the

symbol disappears from the instrument panel.

Activation/Deactivation

The system status is saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

If the system detects that the driver is not

holding the wheel ﬁrmly enough, it

triggers a series of gradual alerts and then

deactivates itself if there is no response from

the driver.

Cruise control

The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.

When cruise control is activated, the symbol is

displayed in green: by small steering actions,

the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the

position chosen by the driver, in the traﬃc lane.

116

Driving

If the function is suspended due to the

prolonged release of the force holding

the steering wheel, you must reactivate it by

pressing the button again.

– Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane limit

markings. In this case, the active lane departure

warning function can take over, and the system

will reactivate itself once the operating conditions

are again met.

– Travelling outside the lane limits.

– Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or

dynamic action on the steering wheel.

– Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause

until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator

pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is

depressed).

Automatic pause

In response to action by the driver:

suspension

– Triggering of the ESC.

– Pausing of the cruise control.

– Deactivation of the ASR.

– Activation of the direction indicators.

– Windscreen area in front of the camera being

vehicle speed or brakes.

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 (for example, if

the central dividing line disappears).

Refer to the General recommendations on the

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen to identify lane markings on the road

and at the edges of the road (depending on

version), the system corrects the trajectory of the

vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk

of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder

(depending on version).

– Winding roads.

– Presence of a tarmac joint on the road.

The system must not be activated in the

following situations:

– Driving with a "space-saver" type spare

wheel.

– When towing, especially with an

unconnected or unapproved trailer.

– Poor weather conditions.

– Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk of

aquaplaning, snow, ice).

Operation

Once the system identiﬁes a risk of the vehicle

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings

detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it

makes the necessary trajectory correction to

return the vehicle to its initial path.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

This warning lamp ﬂashes during

trajectory correction.

– Driving on racing circuits.

– Driving on a rolling road.

The driver can prevent the correction by

keeping a ﬁrm grip on the wheel (during

an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).

The correction is interrupted immediately if

the direction indicators are operated.

Conditions for operation

– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65

and 180 km/h).
