Get Driving -> Blind Spot Monitoring System Guide for Peugeot 208 4 Door 2020

Driving

– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected

(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of

the system is recommended),

Deactivation / Activation

– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on

the brake or accelerator pedal,

– driving where there are no lane markings,

– activation of the direction indicators,

– crossing the inside line on a bend,

– driving in a tight corner,

– inactivity by the driver detected during

correction.

This system includes sensors, placed on the

sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of

the potentially dangerous presence of another

vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot

areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the

driver's ﬁeld of vision).

► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the

system at any time.

The following situations may interfere

with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:

– insuﬃcient contrast between the road

surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),

– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or

multiple (roadworks, etc.),

– running close to the vehicle in front (the

lane markings may not be detected),

– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of

the indicator lamp in the button and this

warning lamp in the instrument panel.

The system is automatically reactivated every

time the ignition is switched on.

Malfunction

In the event of a system

malfunction, these warning lamps

come on on the instrument panel, accompanied

by an onscreen message and an audible signal.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

The warning is given by a ﬁxed warning lamp

that appears in the door mirror on the side in

question:

– immediately, when being overtaken;

– after a delay of about one second, when

overtaking a vehicle slowly.

Risk of undesirable operation

We recommend deactivating the system in the

following driving situations:

– driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery

(ice) road surfaces,

– unfavourable weather conditions,

– driving on a speed circuit,

Malfunction

If the event of malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on in the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

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).

– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan,

etc.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

123

Driving

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.

Active Safety Brake

with Distance Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

Refer to the General recommendations on the

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Active Blind Spot

Monitoring System

The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located

at the top of the windscreen and, depending on

version, a radar located in the front bumper.

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.

This system is the combination of the Active

Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot

Monitoring System.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

The speed of the vehicle must be between 40

and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).

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.

This system:

– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,

depending on version, a cyclist.

– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or limit its severity.

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.

The system also takes motorcyclists and

animals into account; however, animals

below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are

not necessarily detected.

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.

This system is comprised of three functions:

– Distance Alert.

– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.

– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

Deactivation / Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated

at every engine start.

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle

touch screen menu.
