PEUGEOT 108 2018 Owners Manual

89
When weather conditions are difficult
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,
etc.), braking distances increase, which
may reduce the system's ability to avoid
a

collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet
or any object above the bonnet nor at
the front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.
Unwanted triggering
- passing a vehicle travelling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-

i
f the vehicle in front of you kicks up water or
snow,
-

i
f your vehicle stops very close to an
overhanging wall or other vehicles,
-

w
hen your vehicle quickly draws close to
a
vehicle in front,
-

i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-

i
f the vehicle is passing through a plastic
curtain,
-

i
f you are driving in fog or smoke,
-

i
f the sensor is misaligned (replacement
after a
collision).
Operating faults
Sensor fault
Operation of the laser sensor may be
disrupted by accumulation of dirt, formation
of condensation on the windscreen or
the presence of a component causing an
obstruction (e.g. an open bonnet).
If this happens, you are alerted by
the flashing of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel. Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
If there is a system fault, you are
a lerted by the flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the
system and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer
or a

qualified workshop to have your
windscreen replaced.
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.
The system may detect a

risk of imminent
collision, particularly in the following conditions:
-

d

etection of an object close to the edge of
the road going into a

bend (safety rail, street
light, road sign),
-

d

etection of a

structure at the top or bottom
of a


sharp slope (advertising hoarding,
public lighting),
-

d

etection of reflective objects (central
reser vation, etc.) on the road,
-

d

etection of the top bar of a

bridge or
a


signal gantry,
-

p

assing a

vehicle travelling in the other
direction in a

corner, Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.

Lane departure warning
system
System that detects involuntary crossing of
longitudinal markings of roads, using a camera
that recognises the continuous or broken lines.
To increase your safety, the camera analyses
the image then triggers a
warning if the driver's
attention drops and the vehicle drifts over
a
lane marking (speed greater than 30 mph
(50


km/h)).
This system is particularly suited to motor ways
and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot under any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
You must obser ve the driving regulations
and take a
break every two hours.
When driving with snow chains or with the
spare wheel fitted, you must deactivate
the system.
Activation
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
lighting of a warning lamp in the instrument panel.
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is flashing and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.

Operating fault
If there is a fault, this warning lamp
( orange) comes on in the instrument
panel.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Detection may be disrupted:
-

I

f the road markings are worn.
-

I

f there is little contrast between the
road markings and the road surface,
-

I

f the windscreen is dirty.
-

I

n certain extreme weather conditions:
fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight
or direct exposure to the sun (low sun,
leaving a
tunnel, etc.), and shadows.
Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The visual feedback is only shown on the
touch screen, with an indication of the edge of
the rear bumper (red line 1 ) and the general
direction of the vehicle (blue lines 2 ).It is normal to have a
part of the number plate
showing in the bottom of the screen.
Never reverse while looking only at the
screen.
High-pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance at the lens of the camera from
a distance of less than 30 cm.
The field covered by the camera is limited:
objects very close to the bumper or below it are
not visible.
The wide angle lens of the camera distorts
the image on the screen: the distances seen
on the screen may be different from the real
distances. This distortion varies depending on
the load conditions of the vehicle and slope of
the road. Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Driving

92
Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding 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).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.Under-inflation alert

This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
Detection of loss of pressure does not
always bring about a visible deformation
of the tyre. Do not make do with just
a

visual check.
Driving

93
F If you have a compressor (for example the
one provided in the temporary puncture
repair kit), check the pressure of all four
tyres. If it is not possible to do this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to 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. The system must be reset with the ignition on

(switch in the " ON" position or " ON" mode) and
the vehicle stationary.

Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
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 system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
A label on the driver's side centre pillar reminds
you of this.

Driving

94
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
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.
After any work has been done on
the system, the pressures of the four
tyres must be checked and the system
reinitialised.

Fuel tank
The capacity of the tank is about 35 litres.
Low fuel level
When the fuel in the tank reaches
a low level, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning.
The message "LO FUEL" is displayed instead
of the range.
You have about 5
litres of fuel left.
In certain driving conditions and depending on
the engine in your vehicle, your range may be
less than 30
miles (50 km).
If you run out of fuel, the emission
control warning lamp may come on
in the instrument panel. It will go out
automatically after several engine starts.
Refuelling
Refuelling must be done with the engine and
ignition off (ignition switch to " LOCK" or
" OFF "). Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must stop the engine and turn off
the ignition (switch to LOCK or OFF
mode) .
F
P
ull the control on the lower part of the
dashboard, driver's side, to unlock the fuel
filler flap.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap.
A label inside the fuel flap reminds you of the
type of fuel to use.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. F

U
nscrew the cap and place it on its support
(on the flap).
F
I
ntroduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F
K
eep it in this position during the whole
filling operation.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F
S
crew the cap back on again until you hear
a click. When you release the cap, it will
turn slightly in the opposite direction.
F
P
ush the fuel flap to close it.
When filling the tank, do not continue
beyond the 3
rd cut off of the nozzle; this
could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.

Compatibility of fuels

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:
Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715001


standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a


dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:

Energy economy mode
(Only for vehicles equipped with the Keyless
Entry and Starting system.)
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still
use functions such as the audio system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
max. combined time
of 20


minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the
battery is not fully charged.
Entry into the mode
Once this time has elapsed, the active
functions are put on standby.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and allow it run
for at least 5
minutes. Let the engine run for the duration
specified to ensure that the battery charge
is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart
the engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
