Peugeot 2008: Driving / Cruise control - particular recommendations
For
the safety of everyone, only use the cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is activated. If you
hold one of the speed setting modification buttons down, a very rapid change in
the speed of your vehicle may occur.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise control system cannot
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to control
the speed of your vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed may not be reached
or maintained.
Exceeding the
programmed speed setting
The speed setting can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the accelerator pedal (when
this speed is reached again, the display of the speed stops flashing).
Operating limits

- In an urban area with the risk of pedestrians crossing the road.
