·As a social media novice I have been amazed and delighted by the level of support,information and general "bonhomie " provided on the site.
Such an example is Bassetlady(Gill) who has so kindly helped a virtual I.T. Illiterate!
Having seen the various pieces of advice about the 3008 and recently the Questions and Answers from new owners, I've been "cutting and pasting" like mad to create an easy reference guide ( for when I actually to take delivery).
I then thought that others may benefit from being able to see the same information so ( with Gills help) have started this thread.
I would intend to add to the information as new Q&As, Problems and Solutions became available.
With apologies for this virtual essay, here's the first instalment.
GENERAL INFORMATION (gathered from numerous helpful and savy Forum contributors)
On delivery,make sure that the Audio and Telematics guides are with the car (some dealers have had to raid demonstrators to get a copy for customers) and Tom Tom connection has been activated. Dealership needs to activate contacts by registering each car on the Peugeot system
Look in "Themes" for advice on how to change the display to/from copper
Card slot to right of steering wheel is for parking tickets etc
Sat Nav
Use search button on top line of navigation menu to input a postcode
Voice control
Button just needs a short press to activate- not a long one
GT seat massage feature
There is a button on the side of the seat (near the height adjustment controls) which instantly turns this feature on and also turns the main display to the appropriate screen.
Adaptive cruise control
The 3008 can easily be set to the current speed limit with two taps of the MEM button, the car then brakes and accelerates for you and made the motorway driving a lot easier
Auto wipe
It's necessary to push down the stalk to activate the auto wipe each time you start the engine.1.2 Turbo with EAT6 Auto transmission doesn't support Adaptive Cruise Control (only normal CC
Heated seats
Once selected will remain on (rather than switching off with the engine)
Q&As (from lucky owners) + Problems and Solutions
QUESTION
How do I know it's been set up with Tom Tom and I have the 3 year connectivity?
ANSWER
On the bottom right of the screen you will see TMC if it hasn't been setup, If it has you will see TomTom Live bottom right. It does take a couple of minutes to appear when you first start the car.
QUESTION
Is there anyway to get the current mpg on thr screen permanently?
ANSWER
Go onto the center screen, press the car key, tap the icon that looks like a dash and edit the personal settings, then when you select personal it will show.
PROBLEM
When using the piano key to get back to Android Auto it would be nice if it went straight in to AA without needing to select it on the screen.
SOLUTION
Simple fix for this is to tap the telephone piano key (instead of the app key), this should take you straight back into Android Auto without tapping on the screen (works for Apple Carplay, so hopefully should be the same for you)
PROBLEM
Telephone. I have no problem with answering a call as I press the "telephone" button on the steering wheel but I don't seem able to end the call by using the button on the wheel and have to use the touch screen on the dash
SOLUTION
Short press to answer and LONG..........press to end conversation
QUESTIONS
How to prevent the seat massage coming on each time the engine is started
ANSWER
Go into each of the 3 profiles settings and switch massage to off and save
QUESTION
Relax and boost ambience GT line-
How do I select these options and make them default? (they reset every time I leave the vehicle)
ANSWER
The cartridge is sealed, if you take it out you will see a couple of tabs to peel.
Next go into profiles and once you've select your choice hit save
(This answer is still a work in progress! Might not work for everyone)
QUESTION
Is there any way of adjusting the brightness of the two screens- they are pretty bright for driving at night
ANSWER
If you have a GT or GT-line you can just hit the Relax function and everything changes to a more relaxed mode.
For Allure and ? other models :-
If you've downloaded the car manual (http://www.autoeurope.com/peugeot-fleet/documents/3008.pdf) it tells you how to dim the 12" screen in front of you by pressing the button on the far left of the screen (see page 12 " Head up digital screen) or on the touch screen press settings (a small cog) and brightness (a light and a moon)- see page 42 instrument panel dimmer.

QUESTION
Finding it difficult to stream music from an android phone to the car via Bluetooth (am able to connect my phone to car via Bluetooth to make and receive calls but cant stream music). Clicking on the 'source' on touchscreen it only shows radio (phone is oneplus 3T)
ANSWER
When you pair the phone you need to select both the telephone AND audio profile, for it to show up as an audio source and work hands free as a phone
QUESTION
I have seen a few videos of the inside of the car and when i got my " test " drive i did not pay much attention to the keys, what is the knob for below the piano keys and also below them there are logos for heated back window etc , do these light up and how are they operated?
ANSWER
The knob is volume control for the radio etc, push in to mute and un mute, the switches below are push button for the heated rear window ect
QUESTION (Amadeem)
Does anyone know of a quick way to mute the Sat Nav volume, without affecting the radio volume? There are times when I just want to listen to the radio/music and don't want the Sat Nav lady interrupting me.
ANSWER 1. (Summerjunk)
Yes you can, on the sat nav screen go into menu and then settings and it's listed under the VOCAL tab
ANSWER 2.(Yorky52)
On my old 3008 you could alter sat navigation volume using the radio volume knob but only during a sat navigation direction. I can't be sure but I think I tried this on my new one and it worked the same way. It's worth a try rather than continually going into the touch screen.
QUESTION
Have just taken delivery of a brand new 3008. However there is no Audio Manual Does such a thing exist if so does anyone have a link to one. Having had new cars before they usually had such a thing but the dealer said Peugeot do not issue one. Quite surprising really.

It might be worthwhile to put under your 'Adaptive Cruise Control' bit that the 1.2 Turbo with EAT6 Auto transmission doesn't support Adaptive Cruise Control (only normal CC) as I think some people may have missed this as I did when I originally was looking at the 3008 before purchase.
