Driving -> Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistance for Your Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Driving  
You can memorise several speed settings for  
each system.  
By default, some speed settings are already  
memorised.  
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.  
As a safety measure, the driver must  
only modify the speed settings when  
stationary.  
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 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.  
Changing a speed setting  
From the Driving/Vehicle menu of  
the touch screen, select "Driving  
functions" then "Memorised speed  
settings".  
-
This system is a driving aid that includes three  
functions:  
Deactivation/Activation  
By default, the system is automatically  
activated at every engine start.  
-
Distance Alert (alert if there is a risk of  
collision),  
"MEM" button  
-
-
Intelligent emergency braking assistance,  
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency  
braking).  
6
The system can be deactivated or  
activated via the vehicle settings  
menu.  
With this button, you can select a memorised  
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or  
the programmable cruise control.  
Deactivation of the system is  
signalled by the illumination of this  
indicator lamp, accompanied by the  
display of a message.  
For more information on the Speed limiter or  
Cruise control, refer to the associated section.  
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of  
the windscreen.

Driving  
Operating conditions and  
limits  
The ESC system must not be faulty.  
The DSC/ASR systems must not be  
deactivated.  
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.  
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few  
bends is required.  
Clean the windscreen regularly,  
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.  
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.  
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the  
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could  
conceal the detection camera.  
After an impact, the function automatically  
stops operating. Contact a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the  
system checked.  
The following situations may interfere with  
the operation of the system or prevent it  
from working:  
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,  
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.  
-
poor visibility (inadequate street  
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense  
fog, etc.),  
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.  
-
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming  
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp  
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating  
shade and light, etc.),  
-
Modifying the alert trigger  
threshold  
-
camera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,  
misting, etc.).  
-
-
On versions with 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.  
This threshold determines how you wish  
to be alerted of the presence of a moving  
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or  
a pedestrian present in your traffic lane.  
The system is automatically deactivated  
after the use of certain "space-saver" type  
spare wheels is detected (smaller diameter).  
The system is automatically deactivated  
after detection of a fault with the brake pedal  
switch or with at least two brake lamps.

Driving  
Level 2 (red): visual and audible  
alert, warning you that a collision is  
imminent.  
The message "Brake!" is displayed.  
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a  
haptic alert in the form of micro-  
braking may be given to confirm the  
risk of collision.  
Active Safety Brake  
The current threshold can  
be modified via the vehicle  
configuration menu.  
You can select one of three predefined  
thresholds:  
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 never  
displayed for a stationary obstacle or  
when the "Close" trigger threshold has  
been selected.  
-
-
-
"Distant",  
"Normal",  
"Close".  
The last threshold selected is kept in memory  
when the ignition is switched off.  
Operation  
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.  
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, actions on the pedals, etc.)  
to trigger the alert at the best moment.  
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 frontal collision by your vehicle where the  
driver fails to react.  
6
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 you  
press the brake pedal.  
Operation  
The system operates under the following  
conditions:  
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  
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.
