Driving -> Adaptive Cruise Control for your Peugeot 3008 2016-2023
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
lamps are not in perfect working order.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control
To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at
the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar fitted in the front bumper.

Lane positioning assist
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
► With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &
Go function activated, press this button.
The action is confirmed by:
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
– The indicator lamp in the button lighting up

depends on the operating status of the system:
(grey colour)
One or more operating conditions is not
met; the system is paused.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which
suspends the function. The driver positions the
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, they maintain it until the function
is reactivated. The system regains control by
regulating on the new defined position.
The system identifies the limits of the traffic
lane and steers the vehicle inside this lane to
maintain it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
