ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/10)

Depending on the reactivity of the

driver, the system can assist with brak-

ing in order to limit damage or prevent

a collision.

Location of the radar 1

Ensure that the radar area is not ob-

structed (by dirt, mud, snow, a badly

fitted front number plate), impacted,

modified (including painting) or hidden

by any accessory fitted on the front of

the vehicle (on the grille or logo etc.).

1

This system can apply maximum

braking to the vehicle until it is

completely stationary if necessary.

For safety reasons, always wear

your seat belt when travelling in

your vehicle and make sure that it

is loaded so that no items can be

thrown forward and hit the occu-

pants.

Using the radar data 1, the system cal-

culates the distance separating it:

– from the vehicle ahead in the same

lane;

or

– from oncoming vehicles at a cross-

roads.

The system informs the driver if there

is a risk of head-on collision to enable

appropriate emergency manoeuvres

(pressing the brake pedal and/or turn-

ing the steering wheel).

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. This func-

tion is not under any circum-

stances intended to replace

the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be

in control of the vehicle.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (2/10)

Operation

Note: if the driver uses the vehicle con-

trols (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) the

system may delay certain operations or

not activate.

Detection of vehicles

When driving at a speed between

approximately 4 mph (7 km/h) and

105 mph (170 km/h), if there is a risk

of collision with the vehicle in front, the

system:

2

– warns you of a collision risk:

The red warning light



appears

on the instrument panel accompa-

nied by an audible signal and, de-

pending on the vehicle, the mes-

sage: 2 ‟Brake”.

If the driver depresses the brake

pedal and the system still detects a

risk of collision, the brake force is in-

creased.

If the vehicle stopped as a result of

active emergency braking, the driver

must keep the vehicle stationary by ap-

plying the brake pedal.

– may trigger braking:

if the driver fails to react following the

alert and collision becomes immi-

nent.

In the event of emergency manoeu-

vre, you can stop braking at any

moment by:

– tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

– turning the steering wheel as a

collision avoidance manoeuvre.

Special features of warnings

Depending on the speed, the warning

and braking may be activated simulta-

neously.

A

Special features of stationary

vehicles

3

Stationary vehicles are detected when

your vehicle is being driven at a speed

between approximately 4 mph (7 km/h)

and 50 mph (80 km/h). The system is

not active and does not emit a warning

for stationary vehicles when you exceed

A

approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).

Special features of oncoming

vehicles at a crossroads

Activating or deactivating the

system

At a crossroads, when you wish to

change direction (e.g. A), oncoming

vehicles travelling at around 19 mph

(30 km/h) to 34 mph (55 km/h) are de-

tected by the system when:

Vehicles fitted with a multimedia

screen 3

Refer to the multimedia instructions.

– your vehicle is travelling at a speed

of around 4 mph (7 km/h) to 16 mph

(25 km/h);

– you have activated the direction indi-

cator.

The system is otherwise inactive

and does not trigger an alert.

on the vehicle, the warning light

appears in orange accompanied by

the message: “Front radar to check” or

“Check Camera/Radar”. This indicates

that the system has detected an oper-

ating fault. Consult an approved dealer.

The possible causes are:

– the system is temporarily interrupted

(e.g. the front grille is clogged by dirt,

mud, snow etc.). In this case, park

the vehicle and switch off the engine.

Clean the front bumper grille. When

the engine next starts, the indicators

and, depending on vehicle, the mes-

sage will switch off.

If this is not the case, this may arise from

another cause; contact an Approved

Dealer.

This system is reactivated each time

the ignition is switched on.

Limitations of system

operation

When entering a corner or bend, the

radar may temporarily be unable to

detect the vehicle in front (e.g. C).

When exiting a bend, the system’s de-

tection of the vehicle in front may be

disrupted or delayed.

The system cannot detect:

– pedestrians, bikes, scooters, etc. ;

– animals;

Vehicle detection

A vehicle moving into the same lane

(e.g. B) will only be registered by the

system once it enters the radar detec-

tion areas.

– fixed obstacles (toll barriers, walls,

etc.) (e.g. D).

The system may trigger delayed

braking.

The system may trigger delayed

These are not taken into account by the

driving uphill or downhill when hidden

by terrain or when located outside radar

detection areas.

(e.g. E) outside the radar detection

area (construction machine, agricul-

tural equipment towing vehicle, etc.);

– vehicles insufficiently centred in the

lane;

Vehicles outside radar detection

areas

– narrow vehicles which are very close

(e.g. F).

The system will react late or not at

all if detected vehicles are outside the

radar detection areas, particularly in the

following situations:

2.53

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (8/10)

Active emergency braking

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care

and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be

delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-

ing wheel, pedals etc.).

The system cannot be activated:

– when the gear lever is in reverse gear position;

– when the parking brake is activated;

– when the Electronic Stability Program (ESC) has started.

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, there may be changes to the radar, which may affect its performance. Deactivate the function and

consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

2.54

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (9/10)

System disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);

– obstruction of the radar area (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);

– ...

In these conditions, the system may not react or may brake inadvertently.

Limitation of the system operation

– Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may be in-

active for up to three minutes;

– An oncoming vehicle will not trigger any warning or system action if the conditions in the paragraph "Special features of on-

coming vehicles at a crossroads" are not met (see previous pages);

– The radar area should be kept clean and free of any modification to ensure the correct operation of the system;

– The system may not respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes as effectively as to other vehicles;

– The system may not operate optimally when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice etc.);

– ...

In these conditions, the system may not react or may brake inadvertently.

2.55

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (10/10)

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the front of the vehicle was damaged (impact, scratch on the radar, etc.);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– you are not driving on a paved road.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a col-

lision avoidance manoeuvre.
