Peugeot 3008 Dag (2010.5). Instruction — part 11

135

Particular situations

In certain situations (e.g. start-

ing the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake by pulling then releasing
control lever A . The full release of

the parking brake is confi rmed by the

warning lamp in the control lever A
and the warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs while
applied

or if the battery runs fl at, an

emergency release is always pos-
sible.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on the control
lever A will stop the vehicle .
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:
-

"Parking brake faulty".

-

"Parking brake control faulty".

If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the illumination of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be

assured by the driver by repeating al-
ternate "pull release" actions on control
lever A .

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.

136

Front left seat moved back fully.

In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running

fl at, an emergency manual device can

release the parking brake.

Emergency release

 Immobilise the vehicle (or keep

it stationary, if the brake pedal is
pressed), with the engine running,

by engaging fi rst gear (manual gear-

box), position P (automatic gearbox)
or M or R (6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox).

 Switch off the engine but leave the

ignition on. If it is impossible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not operate
the control and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer urgently.

 Fetch the two vehicle blocks and

the release device, located under
the boot carpet (see "Changing a
wheel" in the "Practical information"
section).

 Immobilise the vehicle by placing

blocks in front and behind one of the
front wheels.

 Slide the front left-hand seat back

as far as possible.



Lift up the fl oor plug B in the carpet

under the seat.

 Pierce the protective cover C on the

tube D with the release device.

 Place the release device in the tube D .
 Turn the release device clockwise.

For safety reasons , it is essential
to continue turning the device as far
as it will go. The parking brake is re-
leased.

 Remove the release device and

store it with the blocks in the tool-
box.

-

The

operation

of

the

parking

brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

-

The subsequent time required for
application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.

For safety reasons, you must
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible to replace
the protective cover.

Following an emergency unlocking,
immobilisation of the vehicle is no
longer guaranteed once the manual
emergency release has been de-
ployed and the manual control does
not allow the re-application of your
parking brake.
Take no action, either on the control
lever A , or stopping or starting the
engine while the release device is
engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the protective
cover.

137

HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active when:
-

the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,

-

in particular conditions on a slope,

-

with the driver’s door closed.

The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.

Operation

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a momentarily when you release
the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neu-

tral on a manual gearbox,

-

provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gear control gearbox,

-

provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.

On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear
engaged, the vehicle is held momen-
tarily when you release the brake
pedal.

Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.

If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake manually then ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp (and
the warning lamp P in the lever of the

electric parking brake) are on fi xed

(not fl ashing).

If a fault occurs, these warning lamps
come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

140

System which projects various informa-

tion onto a transparent strip in the fi eld

of vision of the driver so that they do not
have to take their eyes off the road.
This system operates when the engine
is running and the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

1. Head-up display on/off.
2. Brightness adjustment.
3. Display height adjustment.
The strip is activated by pressing one of
the buttons.

Once the system has been activated,
the following information is grouped to-
gether in the head-up display:
A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter infor-

mation.

Buttons

Displays during operation

C. "Distance alert" information (de-

pending on version).

141

In certain extreme weather
conditions (rain and/or snow,
bright sunshine, ...) the head-

up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
Certain glasses (sunglasses, spec-
tacles or polarised lenses) may ham-
per reading of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, which
is made of organic glass, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth

or microfi bre cloth). Do not use a dry

or abrasive cloth or detergent or sol-
vent products as these could scratch

the strip or damage the anti-refl ec-

tion coating.

We recommend that adjust-
ments are only made using
these buttons when the vehi-
cle is stationary.

When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent strip (or on its cover) to
avoid blocking the strip output and
preventing its correct operation.

 With the engine running, press button 1 .

The activated/deactivated status when
the engine was switched off is retained
when the engine is switched on again.

Height adjustment

 With the engine running, adjust the

display to the required height using
button 3 :

- up to move the display up,
- down to move the display down.

Activation/Deactivation

Brightness adjustment

 With the engine running, adjust the

brightness of the information using
button 2 :

- up to increase the brightness,
- down to decrease the brightness.

142

DISTANCE ALERT*

For the safety time to be observed, refer
to the current legislation or highway code
recommendations in your country.
The system operates when the speed
of your vehicle is higher than 45 mph
(70 km/h) and below 90 mph (150 km/h).
It has a programmable visual alert
which remains in the memory when the
ignition is switched off.
This system is a driving aid and cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.

1. On/off.
2. Alert value increase (+)/decrease (-).

The information is grouped together in
the head-up display.
Once the system has been activated:
A. The speed of your vehicle is outside

the operating range.

B. Your vehicle is within the operating

range but no vehicle has been de-
tected.

C. The vehicle in front of you has been

detected.

The current time separating you
from

this

vehicle

is

displayed

permanently.

D. The time between your vehicle and

the vehicle in front is less than the

programmed alert value (it fl ashes).

Buttons

Displays during operation

Driving aid which informs the driver of
the time interval (in seconds) separat-
ing them from the vehicle in front when

Activation

Deactivation

 Press button 1 to deactivate the sys-

tem, the indicator lamp goes off.

Reactivation

 Press button 1 again to reactivate

the system.

The last value programmed is retained
and the indicator lamp comes on.

Example with a value of 2 seconds:

Operating limits

The system switches to standby auto-
matically if the sensor does not detect
the vehicle in front correctly (very dif-

fi cult weather conditions, sensor out of

adjustment, ...). A message is displayed
in the multifunction screen.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:
-

when turning,

-

when changing lane,

-

when the vehicle in front is either
too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in

a traffi c jam, ...).

When the vehicle being followed is
much too near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-

play remains fi xed at 0.5 seconds.

Programming the alert value

 Select the alert value required using

button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:

- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".

If the indicator lamp in but-
ton 1

fl ashes, have the sys-

tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

This system is not an anti-colli-
sion radar and it does not act of the
movement of your vehicle. It pro-
vides information but cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.

 Press button 1 , the indicator lamp

comes on.

The system is activated but will only op-
erate from 45 mph (70 km/h).

The alert value can be programmed to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The visual alert can be deactivated by
programming a value of 0 second.

When the time (in seconds) between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front is
less than the programmed time (alert

value), a visual alert fl ashes.

A safety time of 2 seconds is
recommended in normal driving
conditions (correct traction and
speed) to avoid a collision in the
event of emergency braking.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to observe speed limits, nor can

it replace the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.

The speed limiter is switched on manu-
ally: it requires a programmed speed of
at least 20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.

The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.

This information also appears
in the head-up display.

For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in
this "Driving" section.

System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al no longer has any effect unless it is

pressed fi rmly, which permits temporary

exceeding of the programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed by releasing the
accelerator.

145

On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be

able to prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of

another.

Programming

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

fi rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the

programmed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically

cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the

speed limiter mode is deselected.
The display returns to the distance
recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed

is cleared resulting in fl ashing of the dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the

display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

again.

 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.:

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3 :
-

by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

-

by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

-

in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:

the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).

You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
-

of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

-

of second gear on the electronic gear
control gearbox or automatic gear-
box, in sequential driving mode,

-

of position A on the electronic gear
control gearbox or D on the auto-
matic gearbox.

display, refer to this "Driving" section.

147

When the cruise control is
switched on, be careful if you
maintain the pressure on one

of the programmed speed chang-
ing buttons: this may result in a very
rapid change in the speed of your ve-
hicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise con-
trol will not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

-

never fi t one mat on top of another.

Programming

Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed

speed results in fl ashing of this speed on the display.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-

cels the fl ashing of the speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is

deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

 Set the programmed speed by ac-

celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.:
70 mph (110 km/h)).

 Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the

display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

6-SPEED MANUAL
GEARBOX

As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine:

Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.

Engaging reverse gear

 Raise the ring under the knob and

push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.

* According to engine.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on

vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the

confi guration of the road, the amount

of traffi c and safety remain determining

factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Example:
-

You are in third gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine

(fi rm pressure on the accelerator

pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
-

engaging reverse gear,

-

engaging a lower gear.

-

You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

-

The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

This equipment will become available
during the year.

-

always select neutral,

-

press the clutch pedal.
