Operating conditions and limits

Active Safety Brake with

Collision Risk Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

ESC system in working order.

Seat belts fastened for all passengers.

Stabilised speed on unwinding roads.

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

– Towing a trailer.

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Vehicles with snow chains fitted.

– Before using an automatic car wash, with the

engine running.

– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a

workshop.

– Towed vehicle, engine running.

– Following impact to the windscreen close to the

detection camera.

The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located

at the top of the windscreen and, depending on

version, a radar located in the front bumper.

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system does not avoid the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system is designed to assist the driver

and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously

monitor the state of the traffic, observing the

driving regulations.

This system:

– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front.

– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision

or limit its severity.

This system is comprised of three functions:

– Collision Risk Alert.

– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.

– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

As soon as the system detects a potential

obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in

case automatic braking is needed. This may

cause a slight noise and a slight sensation of

deceleration.

The system is automatically deactivated

once the use of a different diameter

"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, or

if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is

detected.

Deactivation / Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated

at every engine start.

134

Driving

It is possible that warnings are not given,

are given too late or seem unjustified.

The driver must always stay in control of the

vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to

avoid an accident.

threshold chosen by the driver, several different

levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in

the instrument panel.

The system takes account of the vehicle

dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one

in front, the environmental conditions and the

operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,

the steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the

best moment.

Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,

indicating that the vehicle in front is very

close.

The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.

Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,

indicating that a collision is imminent.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

Level 3: in some cases, a vibration alert in the

form of micro-braking can be given, confirming

the risk of collision.

Intelligent emergency braking

assistance

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a

collision, this system will supplement the braking,

within the limits of the laws of physics.

This assistance will only be provided if the driver

presses the brake pedal.

After an impact, the function

automatically stops operating. Contact a

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

Active Safety Brake

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver that their vehicle

is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or

with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity

with which the function warns of the risk of

collision.

The threshold is set via the Driving /

Vehicle touch screen menu.

►ꢀ Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds:

– "Distant".

– “Normal".

– “Close".

The last threshold selected is memorised when

the ignition is switched off.

Where the speed of your vehicle is too

high approaching another vehicle, the

first level of alert may not be displayed: the

level 2 alert may be displayed directly.

Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed

when there is a stationary obstacle or when

the "Close" trigger threshold has been

selected.

This function, also called automatic emergency

braking, intervenes following the alerts if the

driver does not react quickly enough and does not

operate the vehicle's brakes.

It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a

collision where the driver fails to react.

Operation

Depending on the degree of risk of collision

detected by the system and the alert trigger

135

Driving

Operation

The system operates under the following

conditions:

Operation of the function may be felt by

slight vibration in the brake pedal.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the

automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2

seconds.

Activation/Deactivation

These functions are activated and

deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu of

the touch screen.

The state of the system stays in the memory when

the ignition is switched off.

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60

km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph

(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.

– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and

53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with

camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions

with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is

detected.

This warning lamp flashes (for about

10 seconds) once the function is acting on

the vehicle's brakes.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal

pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting

off again.

Malfunction

Driver Attention Alert

In the event of a fault with the system, you

are alerted by the fixed illumination of this

warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a

message and an audible signal.

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects that the driver has not taken a

break after two hours of driving at a speed above

40 mph (65 km/h).

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have

the system checked.

This alert is issued via the display of a message

encouraging the driver to take a break,

accompanied by an audible signal.

If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert

is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.

The system resets itself if one of the following

conditions is met:

– With the engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes.

– The ignition has been switched off for a few

minutes.

Distraction detection

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least

every 2 hours.

The function comprises the "Driver Attention

Alert" and "Driver Attention Alert by camera"

systems, combined, depending on version, with

the "DS Driver Attention Monitoring" system.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic

emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop, the engine may stall.

– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is opened.

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning the

steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator

pedal.

These systems are in no way designed to

keep the driver awake or to prevent the

driver from falling asleep at the wheel.

It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling

tired.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops

below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes

into standby.

The driving time is counted again once the

speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
