Peugeot 308: Semi-automatic lane changing

(with Drive Assist 2.0)

For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system assists the driver in changing lanes.

To do this, it uses the camera located at the top of the windscreen, the radar located at the front and the four angle radars fitted in the bumpers.

The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on detection system to avoid distraction on the part of the driver.

For more information on the Hands-on detection, refer to the corresponding section.

The system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. The driver remains responsible for their driving by monitoring their surroundings and keeping their hands on the steering wheel.

The driver must act promptly if they believe that the traffic conditions or the state of the road surface require their intervention, by moving the steering wheel to temporarily suspend system operation.

Any intervention on the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal that causes the adaptive cruise control to be paused or suspended will also cause the system to deactivate.

Selecting the system

Two options:

- Either when the vehicle is already driving on an eligible road, the driver selects the system by activating the Drive Assist 2.0 system.

- Or when the driver is already using Drive Assist Plus, the vehicle suggests selecting the system upon arriving at an eligible road by pressing the OK button.

Activation/Deactivation

► Activate the direction indicator on the side corresponding to the lane change, whether or not passing the resistance point of the lighting control stalk.

The driver can regain control of the vehicle at any time:

- by deactivating the direction indicator if the vehicle has not yet crossed the line.

- by firmly holding the steering wheel.

- by acting on the pedals.

For more information on the Direction indicators, refer to the corresponding section.

Operating conditions

- Eligible roads: roads with separate carriageways with prohibited access for pedestrians and cyclists.

- The line separating the lanes must be clear enough to be identified by the system.

- The position and speed of other vehicles must enable the system to safely change lanes.

- Drive Assist 2.0 activated.

- Lane positioning assist activated.

- Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70 and 180 km/h).

Authorised lane change request

When operating the direction indicator, if the necessary conditions are met, the message "OK?" is displayed on the instrument panel.

► After checking the surroundings, press 2-OK to confirm the start of the lane change manoeuvre.

The message "Stay attentive" is displayed as a reminder that the driver is still responsible for the manoeuvre.

The system then proceeds with the vehicle's lane change.

Once the manoeuvre has been carried out, the system is automatically deactivated and the lane positioning assist takes over.

If the direction indicator has been set beyond the point of resistance, the driver must pull it back.

The driver must hold the steering wheel correctly.

As soon as the semi-automatic lane change begins, the system directs the vehicle to the target lane by small actions on the steering to position it in the destination lane.

You can feel the steering wheel moving.

Interrupting the lane change

It is possible that while changing lane, the necessary conditions for the operation of the system may no longer be met.

If this occurs before one of the wheels has crossed the line separating the two lanes, the system automatically returns the vehicle to its original lane (confirmed by the display of a manoeuvre cancellation message on the instrument panel and an audible signal). The system is then automatically deactivated.

If this occurs when the lane change has started, the system prompts the driver to immediately retake control of the vehicle (confirmed by the display of a message on the instrument panel and an audible signal), and the system is automatically deactivated.

Refused lane change request

When operating the direction indicator or pressing 2-OK, if the necessary conditions are not met, the lines appear in orange on the instrument panel.

The system keeps the vehicle in the original lane. The system is deactivated and the semiautomatic lane change is not carried out.

Messages and alerts

The actual order of display of the messages or alerts may be different.

(orange)

"Lane change interrupted: Stay in the lane"

The system cannot manage the current driving situation.

Brake, accelerate or use the steering wheel, depending on the context.

(blue)

"Lane change canceled"

Continuation of the systems: Lane positioning assist and Adaptive cruise control.

or

Interruption at the initiative of the driver.

(red)

"Take back control"

The system cannot manage the current driving situation.

Brake, accelerate or use the steering wheel, depending on the context.

Operating limits

The system should only be used on driving lane.

The system may not work in the following situations:

- Wearing thick gloves.

- Poor visibility (insufficient road lighting, snowfall, rain, fog).

- Dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on a wet road surface, leaving a tunnel, alternating light and shade).

- Windscreen area in front of the camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.

- Lane markings eroded, partially hidden (snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks, surface joints).

- Travelling in a tight bend.

- Winding roads.

- Road surface repairs.

The system must not be activated in the following situations:

- When changing a wheel or working near a wheel.

- Towing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing device, especially with trailer not plugged in or not approved.

- Adverse weather conditions.

- Road with low grip (risk of aquaplaning, snow, ice).

- Unusual configuration such as road works areas, toll areas and emergency lanes.

- Driving on racing circuits.

- Driving on a rolling road.

If the system detects that the driver is not holding the steering wheel firmly enough, it triggers a series of gradual alerts and then deactivates itself if there is no response from the driver.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
