Peugeot 2008: Driving / Active Lane Keeping Assistance

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

Using a camera located at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the road and at the edges of the road (depending on version), the system corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder (depending on version).

This system is particularly useful on motorways and main roads.

Conditions for operation

• Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 and 180  km/h).
• Road marked with a central dividing line.
• Steering wheel held in both hands.
•  Direction indicators not activated.
• ESC system activated and operational.

The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It does not manage the safe driving distance, vehicle speed or brakes.

The driver must hold the steering wheel with both hands in a way that allows control to be maintained in circumstances where the system is not able to intervene (for example, if the central dividing line disappears).

Operation

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it makes the necessary trajectory correction to return the vehicle to its initial path.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the steering wheel.

This warning lamp flashes during trajectory correction.

The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).

The correction is interrupted immediately if the direction indicators are operated.

While the direction indicators are on and for a few seconds after switching them off, the system considers that any change of trajectory is intentional and no correction is triggered during this period.

However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring System system activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory even though the direction indicators are on.

For more information on the Blind Spot Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding section.

If the system detects that the driver is not holding the wheel firmly enough during an automatic correction of trajectory, it interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered to encourage the driver to take back control of the vehicle.

Driving situations and related alerts

The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.

These alerts are not displayed sequentially.

Operating limits

• The system goes into standby automatically in the following cases:
• ESC deactivated or operation triggered.
• Speed below 43 mph (70  km/h) or greater than 112 mph (180  km/h),
• Electrical connection of a trailer.
• Use of a"space-saver" spare wheel detected (as detection is not immediate, deactivation of the system is recommended).
• Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on the brake or accelerator pedal.
• Driving where there are no lane markings.
• Activation of the direction indicators.
• Crossing the inside line on a bend.
• Driving in a tight corner.
• Inactivity by the driver detected during correction.

The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or prevent it from working:

• Insufficient contrast between the road surface and the side of the road (e.g. shade).
• Lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
• Running close to the vehicle in front (the lane markings may not be detected).
• Roads that are narrow, winding.

Risk of undesirable operation

We recommend deactivating the system in the following driving situations:

• Driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery (ice) road surfaces,
• Poor weather conditions.
• Driving on a speed circuit.
• Driving on a rolling road.

Deactivation  / Activation

• Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the system at any time.

Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of the indicator lamp in the button and this warning lamp in the instrument panel.

The system is automatically reactivated every time the ignition is switched on.

Malfunction

In the event of a system malfunction, these warning lamps come on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and an audible signal.

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