Highway driving will find this function especially useful, as it enables you to establish a desired speed and then sit back and unwind while the vehicle maintains it. The Peugeot 3008 Cruise Control provides a streamlined method of speed management, enhancing the driving experience by reducing effort and facilitating movement, be it during a road excursion, daily commute, or simply navigating through urban traffic.
Cruise Control
For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and the Cruise control – particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed by the driver (speed setting), without the use of the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must be engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second gear or higher in mode M must be engaged. With a drive selector, mode D or B must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after changing gear, regardless of the gearbox type, on engines fitted with the Stop & Start function.
Switching off the ignition cancels any speed setting.
Steering-mounted Control
- ON (CRUISE position)/OFF
- Activate cruise control at the current speed/ decrease speed setting
- Activate cruise control at the current speed/ increase speed setting
- Pause/resume cruise control with the speed setting previously saved
- Use the speed suggested by the Road signs recognition (MEM display)
For more information on the Road signs recognition, refer to the corresponding section.
Information displayed on the instrument panel
- Cruise control pause/resume
- Cruise control mode selection
- Speed setting value
- Speed suggested by the Road signs recognition function (depending on version)
Switching on/pausing
- Turn thumbwheel 1 to the “CRUISE” position to select cruise control mode; the function is paused.
Press button 2 or 3 to activate cruise control and save a speed setting when the vehicle has reached the desired speed; the vehicle’s current speed is saved as the speed setting. - Release the accelerator pedal.
Pressing button 4 temporarily pauses the function.
Pressing button 4 again restores operation of the cruise control (ON).
Cruise control can also be paused temporarily:
- By pressing the brake pedal.
Automatically, if the electronic stability control (ESC) system is triggered.
Modifying the cruise speed setting
Cruise control must be active.
To modify the cruise speed setting, based on the current speed of the vehicle:
- Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or – 1 mph (km/h).
- Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or – 5 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results in a rapid change in the speed of the vehicle.
As a precaution, we recommend setting a cruise speed fairly close to the current speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting using the speed suggested by the Road signs recognition 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.
Switching off
Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the “OFF” position: the cruise control information disappears from the screen.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the speed setting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Drive Assist Plus
Only available on versions with the EAT8 automatic gearbox and drive selector.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go in conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in operation.
For more information on Adaptive cruise control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting on the steering, acceleration and braking within the physical limits and capacities of the vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements or vehicles in the surroundings may not be properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by the camera and radar, resulting in an unexpected change in direction, a lack of steering correction and/or inappropriate management of acceleration or braking.
Primarily designed for driving on main roads and motorways, this system only works with moving vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and the Cruise control – particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle speed at a value set by the driver (speed setting), while respecting a safety distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set by the driver. The system automatically manages the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. With a manual gearbox, the system slows the vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h).
With the Stop & Go function, the system manages braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop and restarts the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps are not in perfect working order.
To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the top of the windscreen and, depending on version, a radar fitted in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main roads and motorways, this system only works with moving vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle.
If the driver activates the direction indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, cruise control may temporarily reduce the distance to the target vehicle to facilitate.
Steering-mounted Controls
- ON (CRUISE position)/OFF
- Activation of cruise control at the current speed/decrease speed setting
- Activation of cruise control at the current speed/increase speed setting
- Pause/resume cruise control with the speed setting previously saved

FAQs
The Peugeot 3008 Cruise Control is an electronic function that enables the driver to maintain a consistent velocity for the vehicle while reducing the frequency of accelerator pedal depressures.
Simply select the “Cruise” button located on the steering wheel, accelerate to the intended speed, and then depress the accelerator pedal to engage Cruise Control. That pace will be maintained by the system.
Indeed, the speed can be modified through the utilisation of the “+” and “-” controls located on the steering wheel, as well as by depressing the accelerator or brake pedals.
Cruise Control can be deactivated through the use of two methods: striking the brake pedal or pressing the “Cancel” button located on the steering wheel.
In contrast to Standard Cruise Control, which maintains a predetermined speed, Adaptive Cruise Control modifies your pace in order to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Cruise Control functions optimally during highway travel, where the volume of traffic is comparatively low. Its utility is diminished in stop-and-go urban traffic.
By ensuring a consistent speed, Cruise Control can help improve fuel economy on highways; however, its effectiveness may be diminished when driving in urban areas.
Cruise Control can be utilised on hilly terrain; however, precipitous inclines and declines may cause it to fail to maintain an exact speed.
Cruise Control can increase safety by mitigating driver fatigue on lengthy journeys when utilised properly and under optimal conditions. Nevertheless, it ought not to supplant cautious driving.
Respondent: Depressing the brake pedal will result in the disengagement of the system, enabling the driver to reestablish control of the vehicle.
In order to restore the previous pace setting, one may do so by activating the “Resume” function located on the steering wheel.
Cruise Control is a standard equipment package across the majority of trim levels; however, it is crucial to verify the precise features of the given trim level.
Cruise Control operates most effectively between 20 and 100 mph (32-160 km/h); however, model and market variations may affect this.
Cruise Control is advised to be utilised during favourable weather conditions. As precipitation, ice, or snow can impair the functionality of the system, it is advisable to exercise prudence when employing it during inclement weather.
Cruise Control settings may be modifiable via the vehicle’s settings menu; depending on the model and trim level, this may enable you to alter sensitivity and other preferences.
