Intelligent and innovative, the new 508 includes a variety of equipment features designed for enhanced safety and peace of mind while driving.
Full LED headlights provide optimum visibility at night, with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) ensuring the your 508 is visible at all times to oncoming traffic. The innovative Smartbeam function automatically dips the high beams when it detects the lights of another vehicle in front.
Thanks to four sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, the blind spot monitoring system provides a warning if another vehicle enters the driver's blind spot while the car is in motion, triggering an orange LED on the nearest wing mirror to alert the driver.
Thanks to the ESP trajectory control system, the Peugeot 508 combines superb road handling with a high level of active safety.
The system groups together a number of functions: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-Skid Regulation (ASR), Electronic Brake-Force Variation (EBV and CBC), Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA), Motor Stall Regulation (MSR) and Intelligent Traction Control, a function enabling the driver to optimise the vehicle's progress in conditions that make road grip precarious.
This feature lets you access essential driving information without taking your eyes off the road - for the ultimate in driving safety. The head-up display projects key data in colour onto a retractable, motorized panel positioned within your field of vision, thereby keeping you aware of your speed and cruise control system information.
The front and rear parking sensors use audio and visual graphics to keep the driver aware of the distance between the car and any other object.
The 508 has earned the highest rating of 5 stars in the EURO NCAP crash safety tests.
In the event of a collision, there are 6 airbags to increase occupant safety: 2 front airbags, 2 front side airbags and 2 front and rear curtain airbags.
The reverse parking camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. With it's parking guide lines, it allows the driver to visualise manoeuvres on the touchscreen LCD, and combined with the front and rear parking sensors, makes parking safer and easier.
The electric parking brake combines two functions: it automatically engages whenever the engine stops (this includes stalling), and automatically releases when the car accelerates. The Hill Assist function, when used in conjunction with the electric parking brake, keeps the brake on briefly (2 seconds) when the vehicle is on a slope, preventing the vehicle from rolling back.
Remote control system from the driver's door panel prevents opening of the rear doors from the inside, or use of the rear electric windows, increasing safety for children in the back seat.
