Driving for Your Peugeot 3008 SUV 2020

Driving  
Do not park the vehicle or leave the  
engine running on a flammable  
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The  
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even  
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk  
of fire!  
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a  
flooded section of road:  
► Check that the depth of the water does not  
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that  
might be generated by other users.  
Driving recommendations  
► 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.  
► Stop the vehicle before performing operations  
that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).  
► During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.  
► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.  
► For rechargeable 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 motor.  
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.  
Never leave the 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).  
Important!  
Never leave children inside the vehicle  
unsupervised.  
Never leave the engine running in a  
closed space without sufficient  
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit  
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon  
On flooded roads  
Towing  
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!  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and  
particular care must be taken.  
In very 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).  
Do not exceed the maximum towable  
weights.  
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by  
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower  
air density at high altitudes decreases engine  
performance.  
Never drive with the parking brake  
applied. Risk of overheating and  
damaging the braking system!  
110  
Driving  
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the  
display of a message, the engine will not start.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.  
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the  
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles  
(1,000 kilometres).  
When driving  
Cooling  
6
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant  
temperature to increase. The maximum towable  
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not  
increase with engine speed.  
If the outside temperature is high, let the  
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the  
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.  
Starting/Switching off the  
engine  
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to  
limit the amount of heating produced.  
► Pay constant attention to the coolant  
temperature.  
If this warning lamp and the STOP  
warning lamp come on, stop the  
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as  
possible.  
The electronic key must be present in the  
passenger compartment.  
If the electronic key is not detected, a  
message is displayed.  
Move the electronic key so that the engine  
can be started or switched off.  
If there is still a problem, refer to the "Key  
not detected - Back-up starting or Back-up  
switch-off" section.  
Before setting off  
Nose weight  
► 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  
Tyres  
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit  
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances  
are increased when towing a trailer.  
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the  
recommended pressures.  
Starting  
Side wind  
Lighting  
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more  
susceptible to wind when towing.  
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer  
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.  
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is  
used, the rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible  
signal.

In the event of multiple starts of the  
internal combustion engine without a  
sufficient rise in  
temperature, Electric mode may be  
temporarily unavailable (natural phenomenon  
of dilution of fuel in oil). A message is then  
displayed on the instrument panel ("ZEV

progress").  
To regain normal electrical operation, drive  
approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway"  
conditions or approximately 125 miles (200  
km) in urban conditions.  
This phenomenon does not cause any  
mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur  
several times in the life of the vehicle.  
Normal driving mode is selected by default.  
Allows driving using 100% electrical energy.  
The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph  
(135 km/h).  
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do

Hybrid  
Conditions of activation  
To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption by  
managing the alternating or simultaneous  
operation of the two types of engine,  
depending on driving conditions and driving  
style.  
In Hybrid mode, it is possible to drive in 100%  
electric mode if the battery charge level is  
sufficient and acceleration requirements are  
moderate.  
– Adequate battery charge level. Charging  
the vehicle after each drive is therefore  
recommended. Electric mode is available as  
long as there is power left in the battery.  
– Outside temperature between approximately  
-5°C and 45°C.

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during  
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red  
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically  
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver  
indicates the intention of moving off again.  
Primarily designed for urban use, the function  
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and  
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level  
when stationary.  
Operation  
4WD (4-wheel drive)  
Depending on the driving situation and  
the vehicle's equipment, the system may  
recommend skipping one or more gears.  
Gear engagement recommendations are  
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the  
configuration of the road, the traffic density and  
safety remain determining factors when choosing  
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains  
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow  
the system’s advice.  
(Depending on version)  
Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate  
speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.  
4WD mode (4-wheel drive) is especially  
suited to driving on snow-covered roads and  
difficult terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford  
crossings, at moderate speed.  
Depending on the driving conditions and the  
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%  
electric.  
The function does not affect the functionalities of  
the vehicle, in particular the braking.  
Deactivation/Reactivation  
The function is activated by default when the  
ignition is switched on.  
The settings are changed via the  
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.  
A message on the instrument panel confirms the  
change of status.  
The system cannot be deactivated.  
If the system does not detect a situation of wheel  
slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it  
switches to Hybrid mode.  
With an automatic gearbox, the system is  
only active in manual operation.  
When the function is deactivated, if the engine  
was in standby, it restarts immediately.  
The information appears on the  
instrument panel, in the form of an arrow  
and the recommended gear.  
This mode will be even more effective if  
the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,  
such as winter tyres.

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby  
during the journey. It is reset to zero every time  
the ignition is switched on.  
With an automatic gearbox:  
– With the selector in mode D or M: with the  
brake pedal released.  
– With the selector in mode N and the brake

following cases:  
– Steep slope (ascending or descending).  
– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)  
since the last engine start (with the key or the  
START/STOP button).  
– Electric parking brake applied or being  
applied.  
– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature  
in the passenger compartment.  
– The driver’s door must be closed.  
– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.  
– The level of charge in the battery must be  
sufficient.  
– The temperature of the engine must be within  
its nominal operating range.

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.  
It takes the last values stored during  
the reinitialisation request into account. It is  
therefore essential that the tyre pressure is  
correct during the operation. This operation is  
the driver’s responsibility.  
Checking tyre pressures  
This check should be done monthly  
6
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for  
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles  
(10 km) at moderate speeds).  
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures  
shown on the label.  
Malfunctions  
In the event of a fault with the system, this  
warning lamp flashes for a few moments  
on the instrument panel, then remains on,  
accompanied by the display of a message.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow  
chains.  
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,  
in any circumstances, 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 with under-inflated tyres, particularly  
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high  
speed, long journey):

Under-inflation alert  
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an  
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the  
display of a message.  
12 V battery  
The Stop & Start system requires a  
12 V battery of specific technology and  
specification.  
All work must be carried out only by a  
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive  
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.  
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do  
so.  
– worsens road-holding.  
– lengthens braking distances.  
– causes premature wear of the tyres.  
– increases energy consumption.  
The loss of pressure detected may not  
always cause visible deformation of the  
tyre.  
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.  
Tyre under-inflation  
detection  
This system alerts the driver when one or more  
tyres have a drop in pressure.  
Do not rely on just a visual check.  
► Using a compressor, such as the one in  
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the  
pressures of all four tyres when cold.  
► If it is not possible to carry out this check  
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.  
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,  
not when stationary.

► In the event of a puncture, use the  
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel  
(depending on equipment).  
The system does not advise if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.  
replaced with one of the same size as the  
others, tyre pressures have been adjusted  
and the system reinitialised.  
Driving too slowly may not ensure  
optimum monitoring.  
Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
recommendations  
The alert is not immediately triggered in the  
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre  
blow-out. This is because analysis of the  
values read by the wheel's speed sensors  
can take several minutes.  
The alert may be delayed at speeds below  
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty  
driving mode.  
With the vehicle stationary, the system is  
reinitialised via the Driving/Vehicle touch  
screen menu.  
► In this menu, select the “Vehicle settings”  
tab.  
► On this page, select the "Under-inflation  
initialisation" function.  
► Select "Yes" to confirm.  
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 climatic conditions, traffic and  
the state of the road.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance  
and relative speed of other vehicles, and  
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the  
direction indicator and changing lanes.  
These systems do not make it possible to  
exceed the laws of physics.  
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of  
a message and an audible signal.  
The alert is kept active until the system is  
reinitialised.  
Malfunction

detection performance.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
6
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and during  
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the  
mirrors.  
Radar(s)  
The operation of the radar(s), along with  
any associated functions, may be affected  
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),  
in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,  
snow), or if the bumpers are 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(s).  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
terrain.  
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.  
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,  
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away  
from the radar, sensors and cameras.  
Obstacles may appear further away than they  
actually are.  
Mats  
Sensors  
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.  
Driving aids camera  
The operation of the sensors, as well as  
any associated functions, may be disrupted  
by noise pollution 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.  
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.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the

Cruise control - Specific  
recommendations  
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.  
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your  
vehicle’s speed.  
The cruise control function does not  
guarantee compliance with the maximum  
authorised speed and the safety distance  
between vehicles, the driver remains  
responsible for their driving.  
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise  
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles  
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an  
adequate safety distance.  
Remain vigilant while cruise control is  
activated. If you press and hold one of the  
speed setting modification buttons, your  
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.  
When descending a steep hill, the cruise  
control system cannot prevent the vehicle  
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if  
necessary to control the vehicle speed.  
On steep climbs or when towing, the set  
speed may not be reached or maintained.  
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed  
setting level, the speed limiter operates again:  
the speed setting display becomes fixed again.  
The speed is immediately shown on the  
instrument panel as the new speed setting.  
Switching off  
Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:  
speed limiter information is no longer displayed.  
Temporarily exceeding the  
speed setting  
► Fully depress the accelerator pedal past the  
point of resistance.  
Malfunction  
Exceeding the programmed speed  
setting  
You can temporarily exceed the speed  
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the  
programmed speed flashes).  
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then  
fixed) in the event of a speed limiter malfunction.  
The speed limiter is temporarily deactivated and  
the displayed speed setting flashes.  
133  
Driving  
To return to the speed setting, release the  
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is  
reached again, the displayed speed stops  
flashing).  
This system automatically maintains the  
vehicle’s speed at the value programmed  
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of  
the accelerator pedal.  
2. Activate cruise control at the current speed/

Driving  
This system automatically adjusts the speed  
and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using  
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function  
in conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.  
These two functions must be activated and in  
operation.  
For more information on Adaptive Cruise  
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to  
the corresponding sections.  
Cruise control - particular  
recommendations.  
Primarily designed for driving on main  
roads and motorways, this system only  
works with moving vehicles driving in the  
same direction as your vehicle.  
This system automatically maintains the vehicle  
speed at a value set by the driver (speed  
setting), while respecting a safety distance from  
the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set  
by the driver. The system automatically manages  
the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.  
With a manual gearbox, the system slows the  
vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30  
km/h).  
With the Stop function (with the EAT6 automatic  
gearbox), the system manages braking until the  
vehicle comes to a complete stop.  
With the Stop & Go function (with the EAT8  
automatic gearbox), the system manages  
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete  
stop and restarts the vehicle.  
If the driver activates the direction  
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,  
cruise control may temporarily reduce the  
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate  
overtaking, without exceeding the speed  
setting.  
The system assists the driver by acting  
on the steering, acceleration and braking  
within the physical limits and capacities of the  
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements  
or vehicles in the surroundings 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.  
Steering-mounted controls  
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle  
is slowed down by the system.  
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake

System  
The system should be deactivated in the  
following situations:  
– Driving with a "space-saver" type spare  
wheel.  
– When towing or with a bicycle carrier  
attached to a towing device, particularly when  
a trailer is not connected or the trailer is not  
an approved type.  
– Adverse weather conditions.  
– Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk of  
aquaplaning, snow, ice).  
The system may issue an alert when the  
vehicle is travelling on a long, straight  
road with smooth road surface even if the  
driver thinks they are holding the steering  
wheel correctly.  
For more information, 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.  
The system may not operate or may produce  
unsuitable corrections to the steering in the  
following situations:  
– Poor visibility (insufficient road lighting,  
snowfall, rain, fog).  
– Dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,  
low sun, reflections on a wet road surface,  
leaving a tunnel, alternating light and shade).  
– Windscreen area in front of the camera  
dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-covered,  
damaged or covered by a sticker.  
– Lane markings eroded, partially hidden (snow,  
mud) or multiple (roadworks, surface joints).  
– Travelling in a tight bend.  
– In roadworks or toll booth areas.  
– Driving on racing circuits.  
– Driving on a rolling road.  
This system is particularly useful on motorways  
and main roads.

qualified workshop.  
Activation/Deactivation  
The settings are changed via the Driving/  
Vehicle touch screen menu.  
143  
Driving  
The status of the system stays in the memory  
when switching off the ignition.  
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on  
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the  
lane markings on the ground and the side of the  
road (depending on version).  
This system is particularly useful on  
motorways and main roads.  
Operation  
As soon as the system identifies a risk of  
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings  
detected on the ground or a lane boundary  
(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory  
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its  
original lane.  
Detection  
If an unexpected change of direction is  
detected, this warning lamp flashes in the  
instrument panel accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
The driver will notice a turning movement of the  
steering wheel.  
No warning is transmitted while the direction  
indicator is activated and for approximately 20  
seconds after the direction indicator is switched  
off.  
This warning lamp flashes during  
trajectory correction.  
The driver can prevent the correction by  
firmly holding the steering wheel  
(e.g. during an emergency manoeuvre).  
The correction is interrupted immediately if  
the direction indicators are operated.  
Operating conditions  
Malfunction  
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70  
and 180 km/h).  
In the event of a malfunction, this warning  
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,

wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It  
does not manage the safe driving distance,  
vehicle speed or braking.  
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).  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
While the direction indicators are activated and  
for a few seconds after switching them off, the  
system considers that a change of trajectory is  
intentional and no correction is triggered during

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 threshold is set via the  
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.  
► Select one of the three pre-defined  
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".  
The last threshold selected is memorised when

Depending on the degree of risk of collision  
detected by the system and the alert trigger  
threshold chosen by the driver, several different  
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on  
the instrument panel.  
The system takes account of the vehicle  
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one  
in front, the environmental conditions and the  
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,  
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the  
most relevant moment.  
It is possible that warnings are not given,  
are given too late or seem unjustified.

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 not displayed  
when there is a stationary obstacle or  
when the "Near" trigger threshold has been  
selected.  
This warning lamp flashes (for  
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as  
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.  
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking bringing the  
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal  
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving  
off again.  
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic  
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a  
complete stop, the engine may stall.  
Intelligent emergency  
braking assistance (iEBA)  
This function supplements braking in the event  
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a  
collision.  
The driver can maintain control of the  
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the  
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the  
accelerator pedal.  
This assistance will only be provided if the driver  
presses the brake pedal.  
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.  
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact  
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.  
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly  
while the function is operating.  
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,  
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2  
seconds.  
Operation  
The system operates subject to the following  
conditions:  
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph  
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.  
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph  
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist  
is detected.

Alert system may be combined with the Driver  
Attention Alert by camera system.  
This function is set via the touch screen  
Driving/Vehicle menu.  
The state of the system is memorised when the  
ignition is switched off.  
These warning lamps light up on  
the instrument panel to indicate  
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat  
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The  
automatic braking system is deactivated until the  
seat belts are fastened.  
Driver Attention Alert  
The system triggers an alert when it  
detects that the driver has not taken a  
break after two hours of driving at a speed above  
43 mph (70 km/h).  
Distraction detection  
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.  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
Depending on version, the function consists of  
either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone  
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by  
camera" system.  
The system assesses the driver's level of  
alertness, fatigue and distraction by  
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the  
lane markings.  
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on  
the upper part of the windscreen.  
This system is particularly suited to fast roads  
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).  
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the  
message "Be vigilant!", 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.  
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.  
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their  
door is opened.  
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  
drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the  
system goes into standby.  
Driving time starts being counted again once  
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).  
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least  
every 2 hours.

During phases of entry into and exit from a  
parking space, the system provides visual and  
audible information to the driver in order to make  
the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and  
reverse manoeuvres may be required.  
At any time, the driver can take back control by  
holding the steering wheel.  
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings  
during the manoeuvre in order to create a  
view from above the front of the vehicle in its  
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be  
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.  
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the  
view selection menu.  
The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking  
space in forward gear, making it possible to  
see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and  
cyclists.  
This view is not recommended for carrying out a  
complete manoeuvre.  
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right  
C.  
This view is available only from the view  
selection menu.  
Obstacles may appear further away than  
they actually are.  
It is important to check the sides of the  
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the  
mirrors.  
The parking sensors also supplement the  
information on the vehicle's surroundings.  
The Park Assist system provides assistance for  
the following manoeuvres:  
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space

Driving  
Always check the surroundings of the  
vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.  
If the lateral distance between the vehicle and  
the space is too great, the system may not be  
able to measure the space.

measurement. It intervenes later when  
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is  
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal  
becomes continuous when the obstacle is  
less than 30 centimetres away.  
If the Parking sensors function has  
been deactivated, it will be automatically  
reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring  
phases.  
The Park Assist system cannot operate  
with the engine switched off.  
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents  
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In  
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts  
the engine.  
During manoeuvring phases, the steering  
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold  
the steering wheel or put your hands between  
the spokes of the steering wheel.  
Beware of any object likely to block the  
manoeuvre (e.g. loose clothing, scarves, ties)  
- risk of injury!  
The Park Assist system takes control of  
the steering for a maximum of 4  
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after  
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned  
correctly, take back control to complete the  
manoeuvre.  
During parking and exit from parking  
manoeuvres, the Visiopark 1 - Visiopark  
2 functions may come into operation. They  
allow better monitoring of the surroundings of  
the vehicle, by displaying additional  
information in the touch screen.  
For more information on the Visiopark  
1 - Visiopark 2 functions, refer to the  
corresponding section.

blind spots.  
Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle  
(e.g. roof ladder, towball) is not taken  
into account by the Park Assist during a  
manoeuvre.
