Peugeot 2008: Driving / Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation

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

This system displays the maximum authorised speed in the instrument panel, according to the speed limits in the country in which you are driving, using:

• Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
• Speed limit details from the navigation system mapping.

You should update your navigation mapping regularly in order to receive accurate speed limit information from the system.

• Signs indicating an intersection area detected by the camera:

• Certain qualifier plates are detected by the camera:

The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are driving in.

This should be taken into account so that you observe the speed limit.

For the system to operate correctly when you change country, the units for speed in the instrument panel must be those for the country you are driving in.

The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always display speed limits correctly.

The speed limit signs present on the road always take priority over the display by the system.

The system is designed to detect signs that conform to the Vienna Convention on road signs.

Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.

The display of the speed limit in the instrument panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign intended for cars (light vehicles).

Activation / Deactivation

By default, the system is automatically activated at every engine start.

It is set via the Driving  / Vehicle touch screen menu.

Information displayed on the instrument panel

1. Detected speed limit indication

or

2. End of speed limit indication

The system is active but is not detecting speed limit information.

On detecting speed limit information, the system displays the value.

In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested speed by more than 3 mph (5  km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95  km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing for 10 seconds.

Operating limits

The system does not take account of reduced speed limits, especially those imposed in the following cases:

• Atmospheric pollution.
• Towing.
• Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel or snow chains fitted.
• Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture repair kit.
• Young drivers.

The system may not display the speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset period and in the following situations:

• Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard, damaged or bent.
• Obsolete or incorrect maps.

Recommendation

In addition to Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, the driver can select the speed displayed as a speed setting for the speed limiter or cruise control using the speed limiter or cruise control memorisation button.

If rain is detected, the system will propose to the driver a speed setting lower than the speed read/obtained from the mapping in order to adapt to the weather conditions (example: on a motorway, the proposed speed will be 68  mph (110  km/h) instead of 81  mph (130  km/h).

For more information on the Speed limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive cruise control, refer to the corresponding sections.

Memorising the speed

• Switch on the speed limiter/cruise control.

The speed limiter/cruise control information is displayed.

Upon detecting a sign suggesting a new speed setting, the system displays the value and "MEM" flashes for a few seconds, prompting you to save it as the new speed setting.

If there is a difference of less than 6 mph (9  km/h) between the speed setting and the speed displayed by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, the "MEM" symbol is not displayed.

Depending on the road conditions, several speeds may be displayed.

• Press button  2once to save the suggested speed value.

A message is displayed to confirm the request.

• Press button  2again to confirm and save the new speed setting.

The display then reverts to its previous state.

Extended Traffic Sign Recognition

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

This additional system recognises these road signs and displays them in the instrument panel if the appropriate display mode is selected.

One-way street: if you start driving the wrong way down a one-way street, an alert message, including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the instrument panel (request to check the traffic direction).

Other signs: when approaching one of these signs, the sign’s symbol is displayed in the instrument panel.

The actual road signs always take priority over the display from the system.

The signs must comply with the Vienna Convention on road signs.

Activation / Deactivation

It is set via the Driving  / Vehicle touch screen menu.
