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: alert level 1 is never displayed
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
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 current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three thresholds:
- " Distant ",
- " Normal ",
- " Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
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.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision with your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, depending on
the version, this function acts on the vehicle's
braking system.

If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you must take back control
of your vehicle and brake with the
pedal to supplement or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal. 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.
Operation of the function 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.
With a manual gear box, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gear box, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
maintain the brake pedal down to stop the
vehicle from starting off again.Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
and 53 mph (5km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph
(80km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The CDS must not be deactivated.
All passengers seatbelts must be fastened.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
