Active Safety Brake

with Distance Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

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 does not replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it

from working:

poor visibility (inadequate street

lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense

fog, etc.),

The system allows:

the driver to be warned that their vehicle is

at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,

a collision to be prevented, or its severity to

be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp

road, leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light, etc.),

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.

This system is a driving aid that includes three

functions:

camera or radar obstructed (mud, frost,

snow, condensation, etc.).

Distance Alert (alert if there is a risk of

collision),

On versions with the camera alone, this

message indicates to you that the camera

is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:

Visibility limited, see user guide".

In these situations, detection performance

may be reduced.

Intelligent emergency braking assistance,

Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically

activated at every engine start.

Deactivation of the system is signalled

by the illumination of this indicator

lamp, accompanied by the display of a

message.

Operating conditions and

limits

The ESC system must not be faulty.

The DSC system must not be deactivated.

Driving

Modifying the alert trigger

threshold

Clean the windscreen regularly,

The system is automatically deactivated

after the use of the "space-saver" type

spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with

the lateral brake lamps is detected.

particularly the area in front of the camera.

The internal surface of the windscreen can

also become misted around the camera.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

This threshold determines how you wish to be

warned of the presence of a vehicle moving

or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian

present in your traffic lane.

Do not allow snow to accumulate on the

bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could

conceal the detection camera.

It is possible that warnings are not given,

are given too late or seem unjustified.

Consequently, always stay in control of

your vehicle and be prepared to react at

any time to avoid an accident.

You can select one of three predefined

thresholds:

"Distant",

"Normal",

"Close".

The last threshold selected is kept in memory

when the ignition is switched off.

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

towing a trailer,

carrying long objects on roof bars or roof

rack,

with snow chains fitted,

before using an automatic car wash, with

the engine running,

Operation

After an impact, the function automatically

stops operating. Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision

detected by the system and the alert threshold

chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be

triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.

before placing the vehicle on a rolling road

in a workshop,

towed vehicle, engine running,

damaged front bumper,

following impact to the windscreen close to

the detection camera.

They take account of the vehicle dynamics,

the speed of your vehicle and the one in front,

the environmental conditions, the operation of

the vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to

trigger the alert at the best moment.

Distance Alert

It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian

present in their traffic lane.

147

Driving

Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,

signalling to you that the vehicle in

front is very close.

The message "Vehicle close" is

displayed.

The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph

(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is

detected.

The vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph

and 87 mph (10 km/h and 140 km/h) when a

moving vehicle is detected.

Active Safety Brake

If the camera and/or radar have

confirmed the presence of a vehicle

or a pedestrian, this warning lamp

flashes once the function is acting

on the vehicle's brakes.

Level 2 (red): visual and audible

alert, warning you that a collision is

imminent.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

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.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.

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: alert level 1 is never displayed

for a stationary obstacle or when the

"Close" trigger threshold has been

selected.

This function, also called automatic emergency

braking, intervenes following the alert 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

frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver

fails to react.

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning

the steering wheel and/or pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

Operation

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 you

press the brake pedal.

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.

The system operates under the following

conditions:

The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph

(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
