This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes 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. Level 2
: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
A message indicating that you should
brake is displayed.
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
di r e c t l y.
Furthermore, the level 1 alert is never
displayed with the " Close " threshold.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of
the radar and the camera) may hinder
the operation of the system, with the
display of an operating fault message.
The system remains out of service until
the message disappears.

This system, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle
(between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h)
where the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.
Active Safety Brake
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.Operation of the system 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.
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, in
the event of the automatic emergency
braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, in the event of the automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle
to a complete stop, the vehicle will
move off again; press the brake pedal.
If automatic emergency braking is
not activated, you are alerted by the
fixed display of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message. The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted according to the
reaction from the driver, such as
movement of the steering wheel or
pressing the accelerator pedal. If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes when the system is operating.
Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver does not brake sufficiently
to avoid an accident, this system will
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not
act if you press the brake pedal.

Operating fault
There may be interference in the
operation of the camera or it not work at
all in the following situations:
- poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow or rain, fog, ...),
- dazzle (headlamps of an approaching vehicle on the other
side of the road, low sun, reflection
on a wet road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating between light and
shade, ...),
- the area in front of the windscreen: dirty, misty, frosty, snow-covered,
damaged or covered by a sticker.
The operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed
in certain weather conditions: with
accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ...
Clean the front bumper, removing the
snow, mud, ... If one of the two sensors (camera
or radar) is masked or its visibility
is reduced, while the other sensor
is able to work normally, the system
still operates, but at a lower level of
per formance. This is not indicated by a
message or a warning lamp.
To ensure correct operation of the radar
radar, do not paint over the paintwork
on the vehicle's bumper.
Keep the windscreen in front of the
camera clean.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this
could mask the camera's view.
