Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Driving

6Driving115208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Eco-drivingEco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.Optimise the use of your gearboxWith a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.The gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.Drive smoothlyMaintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.Control the use of your electrical equipmentBefore moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Driving116208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Limit the causes of excess consumptionSpread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.Observe the recommendations on maintenanceCheck the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:-before a long journey,-at each change of season,-after a long period out of use.Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.
6Driving117208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system!Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where inflammable substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...) might come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!Never leave a vehicle unsupervised 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 positionN or P, depending on the type of gearbox.Driving recommendationsObserve the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality.On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!Driving on flooded roads-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 system,-drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10km/h),-do not stop and do not switch off the engine.We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never look at the laser sensor through an optical instrument (magnifying glass, microscope...): risk of eye injury.Active City BrakeA preventive driving assistance system that, using a sensor located at the top of the windscreen, automatically applies the vehicle's brakes if driving behind a vehicle that is slowing down rapidly, stopping or is stationary.The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce the speed of impact.This system is designed to improve driving safety.It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.The Active City Brake system can in no circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.If operation is triggered:-Display of a message.-Illumination of the brake lamps.The automatic braking is triggered as a last resort, if the driver fails to apply the brakes sufficiently firmly or at all, or to take avoiding action.When your vehicle is too close to or approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the system automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision.Conditions for operation:-Vehicles driving in the same lane.-Not in too sharp a bend.-Speed of your vehicle between 3 and 18 mph (5 and 30 km/h).-Braking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD, EBA) in working order.-Trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) in working order and not deactivated.-Operation of Active City Brake not triggered in the previous 10 seconds.
Driving142208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016The collision can be automatically avoided if the speed difference between your vehicle and the one ahead is not more than 9 mph (15 km/h).Above this threshold, the system will do what is possible to avoid or reduce the seriousness of the accident by lowering the speed of impact.The automatic braking triggered:-can be even more effective if the driver presses the brake pedal more firmly,-may stop the vehicle, holding the brakes on for 1.5 seconds when stationary to allow the driver time to take back control of the vehicle,-may cause the engine to stall,-may give rise to a pumping noise, due to the pressurisation of the braking system.Touch screenPress "MENU" to display the "MAIN MENU".Select "Driving".Select "Secondary page".Select "Vehicle settings".Select the "Driving assistance" tab.Check the "Automatic emergency braking activated" box.ActivationConfirm.DeactivationCheck the "Automatic emergency braking deactivated" box.The last selection remains in memory when the ignition is switched off.If the automatic emergency braking function is deactivated, following each start a temporary message will be displayed to signal this, once a speed threshold(6 mph - 10 km/h) is exceeded.To deactivate:-Following an impact to the windscreen close to the sensor.-When towing a trailer.-When the vehicle is being towed.-When the vehicle is about to cross a toll payment barrier.-When the vehicle is going through an automatic car wash.
6Driving143208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Limits of operationNot detected are:-Pedestrians, animals, motorcyclists, cyclists.-Fixed and non-reflective materials and objects (cardboard box, wall, ...).-Vehicles not travelling in the same direction.The system is not triggered or is interrupted if the driver:-presses the accelerator pedal firmly,-turns the wheel sharply (avoiding manoeuvre).Operating faults Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers, leaves, ...) from the top of the windscreen that could obstruct the laser's field of vision.Misting of the windscreen or accumulations of snow on the bonnet could interfere with the operation of the laser. A message appears if the laser is obstructed.Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean the area of the windscreen in front of the sensor.Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow…). This is because braking distances increase while the laser's calculation parameters remain the same.In the following cases, you should have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.-The message "Automatic braking system fault" accompanied by an audible signal indicating that a fault has been detected.-Following an impact, the system is automatically put out of service, it no longer works. The system detects the deployment of airbags.Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test the sensor.Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is able to work on the system.
Driving144208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Parking sensorsEngage reverse gearAn audible signal confirms the activation of the system by engaging reverse gear.The proximity information is indicated by an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approximately 30 centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.This completes the audible signal by the display of bars in the multifunction screen, which become closer and closer as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When very close to the obstacle, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in the screen.The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear) parking sensor system consists of proximity sensors, installed in the rear bumper.The sensors detect any obstacle which enters its field of operation (person, vehicle, tree, fence, ...) behind the vehicle during the manoeuvre.Certain objects detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots between and below the sensors.Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement post.Display in the screen

Driving146208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Reversing cameraThe reversing camera function may be completed with parking sensors.The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for vigilance on the part of the driver.The superimposed representation of guide lines helps with the manoeuvre.They are represented by lines marked "on the ground" and do not allow the position of the vehicle to be determined relative to tall obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).Some deformation of the image is normal.High pressure jet washingWhen washing your vehicle, do not direct the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.The image is displayed in the touch screen.The blue lines represent the general direction of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).The red lines represent a distance of about 30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear bumper.The green lines represent distances of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear bumper.Opening the tailgate causes the display to disappear.Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
6Driving147208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Park AssistFor entry into a parking space (parallel parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically during manoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, without affecting the manoeuvre.The selection of the type of manoeuvre (entering or exiting a parallel parking space) prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start.In STOP mode, this selection restarts the engine.The Park Assist system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre.In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.The driver can take back control of the steering at any time by grasping the wheel.Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter tyres, ...) can interfere with the correct operation of the parking assistance system.The system provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.The system detects a parking space and then provides assistance with the parallel parking manoeuvres.It controls the steering and provides visual and audible information to the driver.The driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and the clutch in the case of a manual gearbox.
Driving148208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Entering a parallel parking spaceFWhen you have identified a free space, reduce the speed of the vehicle to a maximum of 12 mph (20 km/h).To activate the Park Assist system:FSelect the enter parking space manoeuvre.The indicator lamp in the control comes on.FOperate the direction indicator on the parking side.FMove forwards alongside the parking space at a speed below 12 mph (20 km/h) to measure it, keeping at a distance of between 0.5 and 1.5 metres from the row of parked vehicles.Once measurement is complete, if the space is large enough a message indicates that parking is possible.FMove your vehicle forward until a new message is displayed.FSelect reverse and release the steering wheel.A message is displayed in the screen.FPress this control to activate the system.The indicator lamp in the control remains off.FPosition your vehicle before this space.
6Driving149208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016The assisted parking manoeuvre is in progress.Without exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h), continue the manoeuvres following the information given by the "parking assistance" system, until the end of manoeuvre message is displayed.The indicator lamp in the control goes off, accompanied by a audible signal.Exit from a parallel parking spaceFSelect the exit parking space manoeuvre.The indicator lamp in the control comes on.FOperate the direction indicator on the exit from parking side.The direction indicator warning lamp flashes in the instrument panel throughout the manoeuvre, whatever the position of the stalk.FSelect a forward or reverse gear then release the steering wheel.FPress this control.The indicator lamp in the control remains off.The assisted exit from parking manoeuvre is in progress.Without exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h), continue the manoeuvres following the information given by the "parking assistance" system, until the end of manoeuvre message is displayed.The manoeuvre is complete once the front wheels of the vehicle are out of the parking space.The indicator lamp in the control goes off, accompanied by a audible signal.The driver takes back control of the vehicle's steering.A message is displayed in the screen.With the vehicle stationary, to activate the Park Assist system:FWhen you want to exit from a parallel parking space, start the engine.The driver takes back control of the vehicle's steering.
Driving150208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by road dirt, ice or snow.In the event of a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the driver should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space.Anything projecting beyond the envelope of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.DeactivationA message is displayed in the screen.The driver then takes back control of the vehicle's steering.The system is deactivated automatically:-on switching off the ignition,-if the engine stalls,-if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the type of manoeuvre,-after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre,-if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered,-if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit,-when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel,-if the driver presses the Park Assist control,-if correct positioning of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed to insert or extract the vehicle),-if the driver's door is open,-if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.Switching offThe system is switched off automatically:-when towing a trailer,-if the driver's door is opened,-if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph (70 km/h).To switch the system off for a prolonged period, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a few seconds. If the problem occurs while using the system, the indicator lamp goes off.These warning lamps indicate a fault with the power steering.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
6Driving151208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Under-inflation detectionThe under-inflation detection system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey.Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.See the "Identification markings" section.Tyre pressures should be checked 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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.It compares the information given by the four 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.
Driving152208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Under-inflation alertThe loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.FReduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking.FStop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.FIn the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),orFif you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold,orFif it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.The under-inflation alert can only be relied on if the system has been reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to the correct pressures.Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
6Driving153208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016ReinitialisationIt is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label.The under-inflation alert can only be relied on if the reinitialisation of the system has been done with the pressures in the four tyres correctly adjusted.The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.FWith the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about 3 seconds then release it, an audible signal confirms the reinitialisation.The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the system.Reinitialisation of the system is done with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.FPress "Under-inflation initialisation".From the "Driving assistance" menu of the touch screen:FConfirm the instruction by pressing "Yes", an audible signal and a message confirm the reinitialisation.Operating faultThe flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by illumination of the Service warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the tyres is no longer assured.Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Touch screenScreen ABefore doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.
