Collision Risk Alert and Active Safety
Brake Conditions for operation
The Active Safety Brake system operates:
- between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in the case of a moving vehicle,
- at a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the case of a stationary vehicle,
- at a speed below 36 mph (60 km/h), in the case of a pedestrian,
- if the passenger seat belts are fastened,
- if the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
- if the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The
Collision Risk Alert system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle. These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
These system are designed to improve
road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
These systems do not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The Collision Risk Alert
system only
operates:
- with a registered vehicle pointing in the same direction as the traffic, moving or
stationary,
- with pedestrians.
- from 4 mph (7 km/h) (and is deactivated at 3 mph (5 km/h)).

The Active Safety Brake system does not
operate:
- if the front bumper is damaged,
- if the system has been triggered in the last
10 seconds,
- if the electronic stability control system has
a fault.Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu
in the following cases:
- if the windscreen has impact damage close
to the detection camera,
- when towing a trailer or caravan,
- when a load on the roof rack extends
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
- when the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
- when on a rolling road for a service in a
workshop,
- when in an automatic car wash,
- if the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
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.
This 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.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the Head-up
display
, refer to the corresponding
section.

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.
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 ".
With the touch screen With the audio system
In the " Personalisation-configuration "
menu, activate/deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then modify the alert threshold.
Then modify the alert threshold.
Press on " Confirm " to save the change.

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.
