Deactivation / Activation



►  Press this button to deactivate / reactivate
the system at any time.
Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of
the indicator lamp in the button and this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The system is automatically reactivated every
time the ignition is switched on.
Malfunction
In the event of a system
malfunction, these warning lamps
come on on the instrument panel, accompanied
by an onscreen message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system includes sensors, placed on the
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of the
potentially dangerous presence of another vehicle
(car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot areas of
their vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision).


The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp that
appears in the door mirror on the side in question:
–

immedia
tely, when being overtaken;
–

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The state of the system stays in the memory when
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by the Manufacturer.
Conditions for operation
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
–

The speed o
f your vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) (versions without
Park Assist or DS PARK PILOT) or between 19 and
87 mph (30 and 140 km/h) (versions with Park
Assist or DS PARK PILOT).
–

When o
vertaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
–

When o
vertaken by a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
–

Tra
ffic is flowing normally.
–

Ov
ertaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
–

Y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly curved
road.
–

Y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan,
etc.

Operating limits



No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– In the pre sence of non-moving objects (parked
vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).
–

O
ncoming traffic.
–

D
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner.
–

When o
vertaking or being overtaken by a very
long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the
driver’s front field of vision.
–

When o
vertaking quickly.
–

In v
ery heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
–

If the Park As
sist or DS PARK PILOT function is
activated.
Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Detection
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 and
87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for driving
on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision
or limit its severity.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).

116
Driving06
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time to
avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function
automatically stops operating. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle is
at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or a
pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via the Driving /
Vehicle touch screen menu.
►  Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds:
–

"Distant".
–

“Normal".
–

“Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
the steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
indicating that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
indicating that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: in some cases, a vibration alert in the
form of micro-braking can be given, confirming
the risk of collision.
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: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or when
the "Close" trigger threshold has been
selected.
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 the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does not
operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp immediately flashes
(for approximately 10 seconds) when the
function acts on the vehicle’s braking.
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, in
the event of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the
brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle
from moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
