BUILT IN VALET PARKING
Peugeot oers two automatic parking assistance systems on the 508. Both Visio Park 2 and Visio Park 3 come with a 360-degree camera, but dier in how much assistance they oer.
Manual-transmission cars get VP2 (£450) which will sort out those complicated angles and deal with the steering while you juggle the pedals. VP3, available only on automatic transmissionequipped 508s, does the lot.
To activate the £600 VP3 system press the ‘parking’ button at the base of the gear selector as you approach a potential space, then select the type of manoeuvre (perpendicular or parallel) on the screen. When the car signals it’s found a spot, follow the screen prompts to activate the indicator and select neutral. Now press and hold the original parking button again, and don’t let go until a message conirms you’re tucked neatly into that bay. Easy. The hardest part is not braking as the 508 closes in on surrounding cars.
