The Peugeot 308 contains several "hidden" or expert-level menus that allow you to check system health, verify GPS data, and even reset service alerts without a mechanic's tool. 1. The SMEG/Infotainment Hidden Menu
While the secret menu is useful for diagnostics, Peugeot also offers standard customization features for safer everyday use: Peugeot 308 Secret Menu
The method for entering the hidden menu depends on your specific infotainment system, such as the SMEG or WipNav units. SMEG & SMEG+ Systems (Common in 2013–2017 models): Turn on the ignition and wait for the system to boot up.
