SAFETY
When the whole family is on board, safety is the number one priority. The 5008 has both active and passive safety equipment, based on state-of-the-art technology, to look after you and your passengers, allowing you to travel with greater peace of mind.
Emergency call
If there is an accident, the WIP Com 3D Telephone Navigation system* calls the emergency services. The Peugeot Emergency service** will pinpoint you, offer you support in French in the major European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Luxembourg), and send the emergency services out if you need them. *Available as an option , depending on version **The Peugeot Emergency service is available free of charge for a limited period. It requires you to insert a compatible and functioning SIM card into the navigation system and to be in an area where there is French telephone operator coverage.
Airbags
The airbags in the 5008 can protect all the passengers, no matter where they are sitting, even in the very back seats, a feature only usually found in larger MPVs. The 5008 has a total of 6 airbags as standard: 2 in the front (the passenger airbag can be deactivated if you need to install a child seat), 2 front side airbags and 2 curtain airbags for the front and middle seats. Airbags are available as an optional extra in the 7-seat version.
Intelligent traction control
This intelligent anti-skid system adds an extra dimension to traditional anti-skid protection. It senses situations when there may be a danger of skidding, such as when you are having difficulty starting or you are driving on icy or snowy roads. The Intelligent Traction Control system then takes over from the ASR function, reducing the amount of front-wheel skid to ensure proper road-holding and to keep you heading the right way.
Distance alert
For additional safety and even greater control, there is an innovative alert system to help you keep a safe distance from other cars. On the head-up display*, it tells you how many seconds you are from the car in front. A visual alert can be activated when you reach a certain distance from the vehicle in front – you can use rocker switches to set the distance you want the alert to be activated at. *Available as an option, depending on version
Electronic handbrake and hill assist
The electronic handbrake, available as standard on the 5008, automatically engages once the engine stops and disengages as you accelerate. In addition, the hill assist feature holds the vehicle in place temporarily (2 seconds) when it is on a slope to allow you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.
