Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
th

is level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. Level 1
: visual alert only, warning
you that the vehicle ahead is very
close.
A message on your vigilance is
displayed as you close on the vehicle
ahead.
th

is information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the Head-up
display , refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

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.
th

e system remains out of service until
the message disappears.
Programming the alert
thresholds
the thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
"Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/
deactivate "Collision risk alert and automatic
braking ".

Checking levels
take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
the check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
