The change from one level of alert to the next takes place if the driving conditions do not change (speed unchanged, no change of lane...)
If the speed of your vehicle is too high when approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed di r e c t l y. On the other hand, the level 1 alert is never displayed with the "close" triggering threshold 3. Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulations of snow in front of the radar) may inter fere with the operation of the system, resulting in the display of this message " SYSTEM INACTIVE: Reduced visibility ". The system will remain unavailable until the message disappears.
The emergency collision alert system does not replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, different levels of alert can be given.
Level 1 : visual alert only (orange) indicating that the vehicle in front is very close. The message " Vehicle close " is displayed.
Level 2 : visual (red) and audible alerts indicating that a collision is imminent. The message " Brake! " is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle time between your vehicle and the one in front.
This level of alert is based on a time before collision. It takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving conditions, the situation with your vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the right moment.

Safety
308_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED02-2013
Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Refer to the "Accessories" section. Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel. Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard. If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe. Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
