Peugeot 2008: Driving / Speed limiter

Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver (speed setting).

The speed limiter is switched on manually.

The minimum speed setting is 19 mph (30  km/h).

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

Steering-mounted control

1. ON (LIMIT position) / OFF
2. Reduce the speed setting
3. Increase the speed setting
4. Pause / resume speed limiter with the speed setting previously stored
5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation (MEM display)

For more information on the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, refer to the corresponding section.

Information displayed on the instrument panel

6. Speed limiter on/pause
7. Speed limiter mode selected
8. Programmed speed value
9. Speed suggested by the Speed Limit recognition and recommendation system (depending on version)

Switching on/pausing

• Turn thumbwheel  1 to the "LIMIT" position to select the speed limiter; the function is paused.
• If you are satisfied with the limit speed setting (most recent speed setting programmed in the system), press button  4 to switch the speed limiter on.
• Pressing button 4  again temporarily pauses the function.

An audible warning will sound if the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed setting for an extended period.

Adjusting the limit speed setting

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

To modify the limit speed setting based on the vehicle’s current speed:

• Briefly press button  2 or 3 to change the value in steps of +   or - 1  mph (1.6 km/h).
• Press and hold button  2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or - 5  mph (8 km/h).

To modify the cruise speed setting based on the speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, as shown on the instrument panel:

• Press button  5 once; a message is displayed to confirm the memorisation request.
• Press button  5 again to save the suggested speed.

The speed is immediately shown on the instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Temporarily exceeding the speed setting

• Press the accelerator pedal down fully.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the displayed speed setting flashes.

• Release the accelerator pedal to return to below the programmed speed.

When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not due to action by the driver (in case of a steep slope, for example), an audible signal triggers immediately.

On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the speed setting.

Brake if necessary to control the speed of your vehicle.

Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the programmed setting, the speed limiter functions again: the display of the speed setting becomes fixed again.

Switching off

• Turn the thumbwheel  1 to the "OFF" position: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.

Malfunction

Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then fixed) in the event of a speed limiter malfunction.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
