PEUGEOT 308 Handbook page 146

Driving
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, the system holds the vehicle
stationary; the cruise control is paused.
The driver should press the accelerator pedal
to move off, then reactivate the system by
pressing button 2, 3 or 4. If the driver takes no
action following this immobilisation, the electric
parking brake is applied automatically after a
while (approx. five minutes).
Operating limits
The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
The system cannot deal with certain situations
and the driver has to take back control of the
vehicle.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
- Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.
- Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).
- Vehicles crossing your lane.
- Oncoming vehicles.

When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
- Vehicles in a tight bend.
- When approaching a roundabout.
- When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions
permit.
Cases where the driver is urged to take
back control immediately:
- Excessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle in front of you.
- When a vehicle cuts in sharply between
your vehicle and the one in front.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
- When the "space-saver" spare wheel is
being used (depending on version).
- When towing.
- Following an impact on the front bumper.
Be particularly careful:
- When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.
- When you enter a tunnel or cross a
bridge.
