Best-in-class Advanced Driving Aids
 Expanded Recognition of Road Signs and Markings
In addition to recognition of Speed Limit and End of Speed Limit, the system recognises the following signs: Stop, One Way Street, No Overtaking, End of No Overtaking.

Lane Keeping Assist
If a driver departs from their trajectory, changes lanes without indicating, a warning light will pop up on the dashboard along with an audible signal. The system will then gradually correct the trajectory.

Driver Attention Alert
By identifying deviations relative to road markings and inputs to the steering wheel, the 208 determines whether the vehicle's behaviour reflects driver drowsiness or inattention. If so, a visual and audible alert occurs. If more than three instances occur, the driver will be advised to take a break.

Automatic Switching Headlights
Depending on lighting and traffic conditions, the system will automatically switch between high and low beam headlights.

Hill Start Assist
This prevents the vehicle from rolling on a hill when the brake pedal is released. Hill Start Assist acts by holding the vehicle stationary for around two seconds. In this time the driver can calmly move from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

Active Safety Brake
When a driver fails to react to an impending forward collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian or an animal, Automatic Emergency Braking is triggered, limiting, or avoiding any damage.

Visiopark 1
The Peugeot 208 features a 180° video camera on the boot hatch, while Park Assist sensors provide information including an overhead view of the vehicle. The system makes it easier to align your vehicle while parking and displays any obstacles.

The new Peugeot 208 really is a looker, and the build quality is truly impressive. The brand has shot out the lights design-wise with this one and the high-spec models with triple-LED ‘claw’ lights and 17-inch rims are spectacular. And what is more, that big grin of appreciation on your face will still be there, once you climb in and take it through its paces.
