light PEUGEOT 308 2018 Repair Manual

191
If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a camera and, depending on the version,
radar, this function acts on the vehicle's braking
system.
Important : if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action. The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions at the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
Specific conditions for
operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
a nd 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions
with camera alone) or 87
mph (140 km/h)
(versions with camera and radar) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50
mph
(80

k
m/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37
mph
(60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The DSC system must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu.

Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.
The camera may be disrupted or not
work in the following situations:
-

p

oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d

azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, etc.),
-

c

amera or radar obstructed (mud,
frost, snow, condensation, etc.).
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the
camera is obstructed: " Driving aids
camera: visibility limited, see user
guide ".
In these situations, detection
performance may be reduced. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen
can also become misted around the
camera. In humid and cold weather,
demist the windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this
could conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially
around the radar, removing mud, snow,
etc.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
touched up, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of the "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with
the side brake lamps is detected.Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.
Depending on version, the function either
has the "Driving time warning" only, or this
combined with the "Driver inattention alert".
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Activation / Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer
to the section covering your screen in the

In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it working:
-

p

markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.Lane Departure Warning
System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation / Deactivation
This function cannot be deactivated on
versions without a touch screen. This system is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver. Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Vehicle /
Driving
menu of the touch screen.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
Select the "
Driving functions " then the "Lane
departure warning system " tab.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20

seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving

195
The detection may be impeded:
- i f the markings on the road are worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the road and the road
sur face,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, this system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The carriageway must have at least one lane
marking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver should remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
on. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be taken back in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours. This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they can prevent
the correction by keeping a firm grip on
the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre,
for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will then notice a turning movement
of the steering wheel.

Blind Spot Monitoring
System
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
This system is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Vehicle /
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving functions " then the "Blind
spot sensors " tab.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots. To deactivate the system, once
again select "
Blind spot sensors "
in the " Driving functions " tab.
The indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle must be between
7 and 87
mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

i

n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y

ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y

our vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the Service warning lamp
coming on and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.

The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.

type of view selected.
The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
Using one or two cameras, the close
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst
manoeuvring at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the central view is not displayed. If the
system is activated after the vehicle has
already been driven, the central view may be
completely displayed.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera(s)
may be distorted by the relief.
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.
Recommendations on care
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and camera lenses are not covered
with mud, ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lenses
regularly.
If necessary, clean the cameras with a soft,
dry cloth.
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing. When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the lance at least 30
cm away from the
cameras and parking aid sensors.

During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on
the towing device: if it is exceeded, this
device may detach from the vehicle,
which is a serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment
of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.Fitting the towball

For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10

kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3

bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding
– Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
