Driving -> Cruise control for Your Peugeot 208 4 Door 2020

Driving  
► Release the accelerator pedal to return to  
below the programmed speed.  
Exceeding the programmed speed  
setting  
Malfunction  
When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not  
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep  
slope, for example), an audible signal triggers  
immediately.  
The speed setting can be exceeded  
temporarily by pressing the accelerator  
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).  
To return to the speed setting, release  
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is  
reached again, the display of the speed stops  
flashing).  
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then  
fixed) in the event of a speed limiter malfunction.  
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
On a steep descent or in the event of  
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will  
not be able to prevent the vehicle from  
exceeding the speed setting.  
Brake if necessary to control the speed of  
your vehicle.  
Operating limits  
Never use the system in the following  
situations:  
– In an urban area with the risk of  
pedestrians crossing the road.  
– In heavy traffic (except versions with the  
Stop & Go function).  
Cruise control - particular  
recommendations  
For the safety of everyone, only use the  
cruise control where the driving  
conditions allow running at a constant speed  
and keeping an adequate safety distance.  
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is  
activated. If you hold one of the speed setting  
modification buttons, a very rapid change in  
the speed of your vehicle may occur.  
When descending a steep hill, the cruise  
control system cannot prevent the vehicle  
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if  
necessary to control the speed of your  
vehicle.  
– On winding or steep roads.  
– On slippery or flooded roads.  
– In poor weather conditions.  
– Driving on a speed circuit.  
– Driving on a rolling road.  
– When using snow chains, non-slip covers  
or studded tyres.  
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the  
programmed setting, the speed limiter functions  
again: the display of the speed setting becomes  
fixed again.  
Switching off  
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:  
the display of information on the speed limiter  
disappears.  
Cruise control

use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to  
Cruise control - particular recommendations.

programmed by the driver (speed setting),  
without using the accelerator pedal.  
Cruise control is switched on manually.  
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph  
(40 km/h).  
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must  
be engaged.  
With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second  
gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.  
With a drive selector, mode D or B must be  
engaged.  
Switching on/pausing  
► Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position  
to select cruise control mode; the function is  
paused.  
► Press button 2 or 3 to activate cruise control  
and save a speed setting when the vehicle has  
reached the desired speed; the vehicle’s current  
speed is saved as the speed setting.  
► Release the accelerator pedal.  
► Pressing button 4 temporarily pauses the  
function.  
2. Activate cruise control at the current speed /  
decrease speed setting  
3. Activate cruise control at the current speed /

Driving  
Pressing and holding button 2 or  
3 results in a rapid change in the speed  
of the vehicle.  
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then  
fixed) in the event of a cruise control system  
malfunction.  
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Adaptive Cruise Control  
Refer to the General recommendations on the  
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to  
Cruise control - particular recommendations.  
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.  
As a precaution, we recommend setting  
a cruise speed fairly close to the current  
speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden  
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.  
Drive Assist Plus  
Only available on versions with the EAT8  
automatic gearbox and gear selector.  
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.  
To modify the cruise speed setting using the  
speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition  
and Recommendation shown on the instrument  
panel:  
► Press button 5 once; a message is displayed  
to confirm the memorisation request.  
► Press button 5 again to save the suggested  
speed.  
With the Stop & Go function, the system  
manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a  
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.  
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.  
The speed is immediately shown on the  
instrument panel as the new speed setting.  
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of  
the windscreen and, depending on version, a  
radar located in the front bumper.  
Switching off  
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:  
the cruise control information disappears from  
the screen.  
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.  
Primarily designed for driving on main  
roads and motorways, this system only  
works with moving vehicles driving in the  
same direction as your vehicle.  
Malfunction  
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
