Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 30 mph (40 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam
headlights” system should
under no circumstances be
used to replace driver atten-
tion and responsibility with regard
to vehicle lighting and adapting to
light, visibility and traffic conditions.Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the op-
eration of the “automatic main beam
headlights” system (risk of reflection
on the windscreen).

The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, inclu-
ding :
– extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the wind- screen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming ve- hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
– incorrect settings for the front headlights;
– reflective systems;
– ...
Activation
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 2.
Push stalk 1 to activate the main beam
headlights. The warning light
comes on on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
– Move stalk 1 towards you again;
– or turn ring 3 to a position other than AUTO ;
– or, depending on the vehicle, on the multifunction screen: select the
“Vehicle” menu, followed by “Driving
assistance”, “Automatic main beam
lights”, then choose “OFF".
Warning light
goes out on the
instrument panel.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/11)
Active emergency braking
The system has two types. Depending
on the vehicle, one of the two systems
is equipped in the vehicle.
- System A
- System B
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion is not under any circum-
stances intended to replace
the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be
in control of the vehicle.
System A is composed of the radar
sensor 1 and the front camera 2.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system A from the shape of the front
camera area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
A , please refer to the information on
“System A” in following pages.
Note: The radar sensor 1 is located
behind the front bumper. It’s difficult to
identify the presence of the radar. System
B is using the radar-camera
sensor 3.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system B from the shape of the radar-
camera sensor area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
B , please refer to the information on
“System B” in following pages.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (4/11)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be
delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of t\
he vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera or radar alignment may be ch\
anged, and its operation may consequently be af- fected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera or radar are located (repai\
rs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
– Fitting accessories which may block the radar is prohibited (bull \
bars etc.).
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
Risk of inadvertent braking.
2.47
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (9/11)
System B (continued)
Conditions for non-activation
of the system
The system cannot be activated:
– when the gear lever is in neutral;
– when the parking brake is activated;
– while cornering.
As a general rule, if the driver shows
signs of attention (action on the steering
wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays
its operation or does not activate.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
Consult an approved dealer.
Temporarily not available
When the system detects a tempo-
rary unavailability, the
warning
light lights up on the instrument panel
accompanied by the message “Active
braking: sensor blind” or, depending on
the vehicle, “Radar-camera: no visibil-
ity”.
The possible causes are:
– the system is temporarily blinded (glare from the sun, dipped beam
headlights, bad weather conditions
etc.). The system will be operational
again when visibility conditions are
better.
– The system is temporarily disrupted (for example: windscreen obscured
by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the windscreen. When
you next start the engine, the warn-
ing light and the message go out.
– If this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.
2.48
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (10/11)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be
delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of t\
he vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera or radar alignment may be ch\
anged, and its operation may consequently be af- fected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera or radar are located (repai\
rs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the su\
rrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo- cated in a snowy area etc.);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.
2.49
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (11/11)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The radar-camera area on the windscreen should be kept clean and free of\
any modifications in order to ensure the
proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycl\
es as effectively as to other vehicles.
– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (\
rain, snow, black ice etc.).
– To ensure correct operation, System B needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the sys\
tem cannot
detect:
- Pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;
- Partially visible pedestrians;
- Pedestrians less than approximately 80cm tall;
- Pedestrian carrying large objects;
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side o\
r the interior rear-view mirror side);
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on thi\
s area of the windscreen; have it changed by an Authorised Dealer).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avo id-
ance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
2.50
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (1/3)
This function is a driving aid in the event of the accidental crossing o\
f
a continuous or broken line in the road. However, the function is not in-
tended to replace the driver. The function can be disrupted under certain
conditions, including:
– poor visibility (rain, snow, fog, dirty windscreen, glare of the sun, partially ob- scured road lines, etc.);
– roads with tight bends;
– closely following a vehicle in the same lane;
– worn road markings, difficult to distinguish or spaced very widely apart;
– narrow roads;
– ...
In this case, the line visibility indicators remain uncoloured on the in\
strument
panel to indicate that the function will not operate (lines not detecte\
d).
Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst performing manoeuvres.
This system notifies the driver when
they accidentally cross a continuous or
broken line.
This function uses a camera attached
to the windscreen, behind the rear-view
mirror.
