Get Driving Guide for Fiat Scudo Van Third Generation (2022-2025)

Driving

Be aware of the eﬀect of side winds on the

vehicle.

Never drive on surfaces covered with

vegetation (e.g. tall grass,

Driving recommendations

► Observe the driving regulations and remain

vigilant whatever the traﬃc conditions.

► Monitor your environment and keep your

hands on the wheel to be able to react to

anything that may happen any time.

► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for

braking and maintain a longer safety distance,

especially in bad weather.

► Stop the vehicle before performing operations

that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).

► During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.

To ensure the durability of the vehicle and

for safety reasons, remember that certain

precautionary measures must be taken when

driving the vehicle:

accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris)

such as a ﬁeld, a country lane overgrown

with bushes or a grassy verge.

This vegetation could come into contact with

the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems

which are very hot. Risk of ﬁre!

Maintenance

Inﬂate to the minimum pressure indicated on the

label, or even over-inﬂate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for

long journeys.

Important!

Never leave the engine running in a

closed space without suﬃcient

ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit

toxic exhaust gases such as carbon

Make sure you do not leave any item in

the passenger compartment which could

act like a magnifying glass under the eﬀect of

the sun's rays and cause a ﬁre. Risk of ﬁre or

damage to interior surfaces!

monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!

In very severe wintry conditions

(temperature below -23°C), let the engine

run for 4 minutes before moving oﬀ, to ensure

the correct operation and durability of the

mechanical components of your vehicle

(engine and gearbox).

Never leave the vehicle unattended,

with the engine running. If you have to

leave your vehicle with the engine running,

apply the parking brake and put the gearbox

into neutral or position N or P (depending on

the type of gearbox).

Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed

Manoeuvre slowly.

Before turning, check that there are no obstacles

at mid-height along the sides.

Before reversing, check that there are no

obstacles, particularly at high level behind the

vehicle.

Never drive with the parking brake

applied. Risk of overheating and

damaging the braking system!

Never leave children inside the vehicle

unsupervised.

Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders

are ﬁtted.

On ﬂooded roads

Drive the vehicle carefully

Never park the vehicle and never

leave the engine running on a

ﬂammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead

leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very

hot, even several minutes after the engine

stops. Risk of ﬁre!

We strongly advise against driving on ﬂooded

roads, as this could cause serious damage to the

engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's

electrical systems.

Take corners gently.

Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping

distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy

roads.

132

Driving

If the outside temperature is high, let the

engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the

vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.

Cooling the traction battery

The cooling fan comes on during

charging to cool the on-board charger and the

traction battery.

Before setting oﬀ

Nose weight

On the inside

During use, you may hear certain perfectly

normal noises speciﬁc to electric vehicles, such

as:

– Traction battery relay when starting.

– Vacuum pump when braking.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a

ﬂooded section of road:

► Check that the depth of the water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that

might be generated by other users.

► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.

► Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In

all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).

► Do not stop and do not switch oﬀ the engine.

On leaving the ﬂooded road, as soon as safety

conditions allow, make several light brake

applications to dry the brake discs and pads.

If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact

a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop.

► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are located as close as possible

to the axle, and the nose weight (at the point

where it joins your vehicle) approaches the

maximum permitted, without exceeding it.

– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.

– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.

Tyres

► Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Towing

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and

particular care must be taken.

Lighting

► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer

and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.

Do not exceed the maximum towable

weights.

At altitude: reduce the maximum load by

10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower

air density at high altitudes decreases engine

performance.

If a genuine Fiat towing device is used,

the rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically to avoid activating

the audible signal.

Noise (Electric)

On the outside

Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when

driving, the driver must pay particular attention.

When manoeuvring, the driver must always

check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.

At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the

pedestrian horn warns other road users of the

vehicle’s presence.

When driving

Cooling

New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the

vehicle has driven at least 620 miles

(1,000 kilometres).

Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant

temperature to increase. The maximum towable

load depends on the gradient and the exterior

Driving

temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not

increase with engine speed.

► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to

limit the amount of heating produced.

► Pay constant attention to the coolant

temperature.

In the event of a fault, you are informed

by illumination of this warning lamp, an

audible signal and a message on the screen.

The vehicle will not start; contact a Fiat

Dealership as soon as possible.

The gearbox changes down automatically or

holds the gear selected until the maximum

engine speed is reached.

When braking, the gearbox changes down

automatically to provide eﬀective engine braking.

If you release the accelerator sharply, the

gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety

reasons.

If the engine speed is too low or too high,

the selected gear ﬂashes for a few

seconds, then the gear actually engaged is

shown.

When the vehicle is stationary or moving very

slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear

M1.

As a safety precaution, never leave the

vehicle with the engine running and the

doors closed.

Never select position N while the vehicle

is moving.

Never select positions P or R unless the

vehicle is completely stationary.

To preserve the brakes while descending

a steep incline, use engine braking to

reduce your speed (change down or select a

lower gear).

Keeping the brake pedal pressed

continuously for long periods can overheat

the brakes, with the risk of damaging the

braking system or making it inoperative.

Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow

or stop the vehicle.

Manual operation

► With the selector in position D, press

button M to enable 6- or 8-speed

sequential gear changing.

The indicator lamp for the button comes on.

► Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted

controls.

M appears and the engaged gears are

shown in succession on the instrument

panel.

Temporary manual control

of gear changes

You can temporarily assume control of gear

changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted

controls. The gear change request will be

executed if the engine speed permits.

This function allows you to anticipate certain

situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or

approaching a bend in the road.

Depending on the road conﬁguration

(e.g. mountainous road), manual

operation may be preferable.

Automatic operation may not always be

suitable, and does not enable engine braking.

► You can revert to automatic operation at any

time by pressing button M again.

The indicator lamp for the button goes oﬀ.

After a few seconds with no inputs via the control

paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic

operation.

In manual mode, there is no need to

release the accelerator pedal while

changing gear.

Driving

When positioned on a steep slope with a

loaded vehicle, depress the brake

pedal, select position P, apply the parking

brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with

electric parking brake), then release the brake

pedal.

If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,

do not try to start the engine by pushing

the vehicle.

Drive selector (Electric)

► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.

In all circumstances, ensure that the

selector is in position P before leaving

your vehicle.

Switching oﬀ the vehicle

Before switching oﬀ the engine, select position

P then apply the parking brake to immobilise

the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode

(with electric parking brake).

Malfunction

Check that mode P has been engaged and that

the electric parking brake has been applied

automatically; if not, apply it manually.

The corresponding indicator lamps in the

selector and the electric parking brake control

lever must be on, as well as those on the

instrument panel.

When the ignition is on, a message appears on

the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the

gearbox.

In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up

mode and is locked in 3^rdgear. You may feel a

signiﬁcant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when

changing from P to R and from N to R.

Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed

restrictions permitting.

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a

regenerative braking function.

The drive selector provides traction control

based on the driving style, the road proﬁle and

the vehicle load.

With regenerative braking activated, it also

manages engine braking when the accelerator

pedal is released.

A point of resistance may be noticed

when moving to position P.

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

If the selector is not in position P, when the

driver's door is opened or approximately 45

seconds after the ignition is switched oﬀ,

an audible signal sounds and a message

appears.

► Return the drive selector to position P;

the audible signal stops and the message

disappears.

There is a risk of damaging the gearbox:

– If the accelerator and brake pedals are

depressed simultaneously.

– In the event of a battery failure, forcing the

selector from position P to another position.

For more information on Free-wheeling, refer

to the corresponding section.

When the brake pedal is depressed, the

intelligent braking system automatically recovers

some of the energy and uses it to recharge the

traction battery.

This energy recovery also reduces use of the

brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.

The Brake function emulates engine braking,

slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the

brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly

when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is then used to partially

recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing

the vehicle's driving range.

regenerative braking.

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

When the ignition is switched on, the drive

selector status is displayed on the instrument

panel:

P : Park.

R : Reverse.

N : Neutral.

The resulting deceleration of the vehicle

does not cause the brake lamps to come

on.

Driving modes (Electric)

Driving modes are selected using the following

control:

► From mode D, press button B to activate/

deactivate the function (the button lights up when

the function is activated).

D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.

The status of the function is saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

D : Drive (automatic forward gear).

B : Brake (regenerative braking activated).

Operation

In some situations (e.g. battery full,

extreme temperatures), the amount of

regenerative braking may be temporarily

limited, resulting in less deceleration.

The driver must remain alert to traﬃc

conditions and must always be ready to use

the brake pedal.

► Move the selector by pressing it forwards

(N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice,

passing the point of resistance if necessary.

For example, to change from P to R (with your

foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards

twice without passing the point of resistance or

push just once, passing the point of resistance.

► Press the control to display the modes on the

instrument panel, and depending on version, on

the screen with Connect Nav.

When the message disappears, the selected

mode is activated and remains indicated on the

instrument panel (except Normal mode).

Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal

mode is selected by default.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.

The function does not aﬀect the functionalities of

Special cases:

The engine will not go into standby if the

conditions for operation are not met and in the

following cases:

► Switch oﬀ the ignition then start the engine

again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

– Reverse gear engaged.

– Steep slope (ascending or descending).

– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)

since the last engine start (with the key or the

START/STOP button).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

Special cases

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of speciﬁc technology and

speciﬁcation.

All work must be carried out only by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop

The engine will restart automatically if the

conditions for operation are met again and in the

following cases:

– With a manual gearbox: vehicle speed

exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h)

(depending on engine).

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp ﬂashes

for a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

– With an automatic gearbox, vehicle speed

exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h).

Tyre under-inﬂation

detection

This system automatically checks the pressures

of the tyres while driving.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

In these cases, this indicator lamp ﬂashes

for a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

Malfunctions

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the

steering wheel.

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:

In the event of a system malfunction, this

warning lamp ﬂashes on the instrument

panel.

148

Driving

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects a drop in the inﬂation pressure of one or

more tyres.

Snow chains

Driving too slowly may not ensure

optimum monitoring.

6

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after ﬁtting or removing snow

chains.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the

event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre

blow-out. This is because analysis of the

values read by the wheel's speed sensors

can take several minutes.

The alert may be delayed at speeds below

25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty

driving mode.

Under-inﬂation detection does not

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel) as well as before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inﬂated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

Spare wheel

The steel spare wheel does not have an

under-inﬂation detection sensor.

Under-inﬂation alert

This is signalled by the ﬁxed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

– worsens road-holding,

– lengthens braking distances,

– causes premature wear of the tyres,

– increases fuel consumption.

Reinitialisation

► The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The inﬂation pressures speciﬁed for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the Identiﬁcation

markings, refer to the corresponding section.

The loss of pressure detected may not

always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the

vehicle and conform to the values written on

the tyre pressure label.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel

(depending on equipment).

Check the pressures of the four tyres before

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done when the

tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or

after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at

moderate speeds).

Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures

shown on the label.

recommendations

Radar(s)

The operation of the radar(s), along with

any associated functions, may be aﬀected

by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),

in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,

snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.

If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact

a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop;

certain types of paint could interfere with the

operation of the radar(s).

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must comply with the Highway

Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in

all circumstances and must be able to retake

control of it at all times. The driver must adapt

the speed to climatic conditions, traﬃc and

the state of the road.

► With the vehicle stationary, press this

button for about 3 seconds then release it.

Reinitialisation is conﬁrmed by an audible signal.

Without dashboard button

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly

monitor traﬃc conditions, assess the distance

and relative speed of other vehicles, and

anticipate their manoeuvres before using the

direction indicator and changing lanes.

These systems do not make it possible to

exceed the laws of physics.

With the vehicle stationary, the

system is reinitialised via the

vehicle conﬁguration menu.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel.

In this case, the tyre under-inﬂation monitoring

function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Driving aids camera

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired or not work if the windscreen

area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,

frosty, covered with snow, damaged or

masked by a sticker.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the door and interior

mirrors, always leave your feet close to the

pedals and take a break every 2 hours.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,

reﬂections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

alternating shade and light) can also impair

detection performance.

Sensors

Mats/Pedal trims

The operation of the sensors, as well as

any associated functions, may be disrupted

by noise pollution such as that emitted by

noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of

snow or dead leaves on the road or in the

event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.

When reverse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors

may be dirty.

The use of mats or pedal trims not

approved by Fiat may interfere with the

operation of the speed limiter or cruise

control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.

– Never ﬁt one mat on top of another.

The cruise control function does not

guarantee compliance with the maximum

authorised speed and the safety distance

between vehicles, the driver remains

responsible for their driving.

In the interest of public safety, only use cruise

control if the traﬃc conditions enable vehicles

to drive at a steady speed and maintain an

adequate safety distance.

Remain vigilant while cruise control is

activated. If you press and hold one of the

speed setting modiﬁcation buttons, your

vehicle may change speed very abruptly.

When descending a steep hill, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the set speed. Brake if

necessary to control the vehicle speed.

On steep climbs or when towing, the set

speed may not be reached or maintained.

Operating limits

Never use the system in the following

situations:

– In an urban area with the risk of

pedestrians crossing the road.

– In heavy traﬃc.

– On winding or steep roads.

– On slippery or ﬂooded roads.

– In poor weather conditions.

– In the event of restricted visibility for the

driver.

– Driving on a speed circuit.

– Driving on a rolling road.

– When using snow chains, non-slip covers

or studded tyres.

The adaptive cruise control uses only engine

braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the

vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing

the accelerator pedal.

Messages and alerts

– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.

The system is paused automatically:

– if the vehicle in front slows down too much or

too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,

– if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and

the vehicle in front,

– if the system does not slow the vehicle enough

to continue to maintain a safe distance, for

example when descending a steep hill.

Cases of non-detection by the radar:

– Stationary vehicles (traﬃc jam, breakdown,

etc.).

The display of these messages or alerts

is not sequential.

“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control

suspended” following a brief acceleration

by the driver.

“Cruise control active”, no vehicle

detected.

“Cruise control active”, vehicle detected.

– Vehicles entering a corner.

– Vehicles changing lane at the last moment.

Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.

Cases where the driver is urged to take back

control immediately:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

“Cruise control active and speed

adjusted”, vehicle detected too close or at

a slower speed.

“Cruise control active and speed

imminent following a cruise control limit being

reached.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

When the driver must suspend the cruise

control system:

– Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle

in front of you.

“Cruise control paused”, automatic

deactivation following speed limit

adjustment being exceeded and no reaction from

the driver.

The adaptive cruise control operates by

day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.

– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the preceding vehicle.

– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or to limit its severity.

If the diﬀerence between the

programmed speed setting and the

speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the

speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control

is automatically deactivated.

The speed will be reduced by a

maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31

mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and

radar).

Malfunction

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of

the windscreen and, depending on version, a

radar located in the front bumper.

In the event of a malfunction with the adaptive

cruise control, you will be alerted by an audible

signal and the display of the message "Driving

aid functions fault".

The system also takes motorcyclists into

account.

It may also react on animals. Animals

(especially animals smaller than 0.5 m)

and objects on the road are not necessarily

detected.

This system does not replace the need

for driver vigilance.

This system is designed to assist the driver

and improve road safety.

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously

monitor traﬃc conditions in accordance with

applicable driving regulations.

This system includes three functions:

– Collision Risk Alert.

– Intelligent emergency braking assistance

(iEBA).

– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

Active Safety Brake with

Collision Risk Alert and

Intelligent emergency

Operation

This warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel without any additional

message, to indicate that the automatic braking

system is not available.

This is a normal behavior indicating that a

condition is not fulﬁlled and which does not

request the support of a workshop.

In any situations with ignition on where automatic

braking presents a risk, deactivating the

system via the vehicle's conﬁguration menu is

recommended, for instance:

Depending on the collision risk detected by the

system and the alert trigger threshold chosen

by the driver, diﬀerent levels of alert may be

triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.

The system takes into account the vehicle

dynamics, the diﬀerence speed of the own

vehicle and the object identiﬁed for the

collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle

(e.g. actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to

trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.

(orange)

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake

lamps are not in perfect working order.

The driver must not overload the vehicle

(keep within the GVW limit and load

height limits for roof bars).

Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the

system is automatically deactivated.

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

– Towing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its

own braking system).

Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the

preceding vehicle is very close.

– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.

– Driving with snow chains.

– Using an automatic car wash.

– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a

wheel, working inside the engine compartment).

– Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a

workshop.

The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.

(red)

Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning

that a collision is imminent.

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver if there is a risk

of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a

pedestrian or cyclist.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

While approaching a vehicle too quickly,

the level 2 alert may be displayed

directly.

Important: the level 1 alert depends on the

trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on

moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically

at lower speed.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

– Towing the vehicle.

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity

with which the function warns of the risk of

collision.

The threshold is set via the vehicle

conﬁguration menu with the audio

system or touch screen.

– Following a front bumper deformation.

– Following an impact to the windscreen close to

the detection camera.

The system diagnoses permanently its

capability and may inhibit itself without

► Select one of the three pre-deﬁned

thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".

164

Driving

It is possible that collision 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.

Operation

The system operates subject to the following

conditions:

– At reduced speed in an urban environment,

when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist

is detected.

Active Safety Brake

6

– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and

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

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

with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle

is detected.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance (iEBA)

This function supplements braking in the event

that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a

collision.

This warning lamp ﬂashes (for

approximately 10 seconds) as soon as

the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.

During the ﬂashing time, the function is not

available.

This assistance will only be provided if the driver

presses the brake pedal.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking, keep the brake

pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is

reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic

emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a

complete stop, the engine may stall.

This function, also called "automatic emergency

braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the

driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly

enough.

The system aims at reducing the speed of

impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to

react.

The driver can override the automatic

emergency braking at any time by ﬁrmly

turning the steering wheel and/or ﬁrmly

depressing the accelerator pedal.

The speed will be reduced by a

maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31

mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and

radar).

This system is particularly suited to fast roads

(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).

At a ﬁrst alert level, the driver is warned by the

message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an

audible signal.

After three ﬁrst-level alerts, the system triggers

a further alert with the message "Dangerous

driving: take a break", accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

The alert is given by an orange warning lamp

coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon as

a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.

The following conditions must be met for this:

– all vehicles are moving in the same direction

and in adjacent lanes,

– the speed of your vehicle must be between 7

and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

– you overtake a vehicle with a speed diﬀerence

of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),

– a vehicle overtakes you with a speed

diﬀerence of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),

– the traﬃc is ﬂowing normally,

– overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of

time where the vehicle being overtaken remains

in the blind spot,

– you are driving on a straight or slightly curved

road,

– your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a caravan,

etc.

This system warns the driver of a potential

danger posed by the presence of another vehicle

(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind

spots (areas hidden from the driver's ﬁeld of

vision) using sensors located on the sides of the

bumpers.

In certain driving conditions (poor road

surface or strong winds), the system may

give alerts independent of the driver's level of

vigilance.

The following situations may interfere

with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:

– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,

mud) or multiple (roadworks);

– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings

not detected);

– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
