Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
This system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-
a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
-
D
istance Alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the vehicle settings
menu.
With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or
the programmable cruise control. Deactivation of the system is signalled
by the illumination of this indicator
lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message.

Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be
deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake
pedal switch or with at least two brake
lamps. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver if his vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in his traffic lane.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
f
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera. It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.
The current threshold can
be modified via the vehicle
configuration menu.
You can select one of 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 threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions, the operation of the
vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.)
to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane. Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.

Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, you
are alerted by the continuous illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come on after
the engine has been switched off
and restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
hard shoulder (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and expressways.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the wheel with both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ASR /DSC systems must be activated and
not faulty.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The
driver must remain in control of the vehicle
in all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane in which it is
being driven. It does not manage the safe
driving distance, the speed of the vehicle
or the brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the highway
code and take a break every two hours.
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border),
it makes the correction to the trajectory
necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
6
Driving

156
During a correction, if the driver is inactive
(not holding the steering wheel for
10 seconds), a warning message appears.
If the driver remains inactive (not holding
the steering wheel for 2
more seconds),
the correction is interrupted.
Risk of undesirable operation
The system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
-
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
d
riving with a trailer,
-
d
riving on a rolling stand,
-
d
riving on unstable sur faces.
Malfunction
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
-
t
he ASR /DSC systems are deactivated or
the ESC operation is triggered,
-
s
peed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater
than 112
mph (180 km/h),
-
c
onnected electrically to a trailer,
-
u
se of the "space-saver" spare
wheel detected (as detection is not
immediate, deactivation of the system is
recommended),
-

-
d
riving in a tight corner,
-
i
nactivity by the driver detected during
correction.
Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
-
d
riving on a road sur face in poor condition,
-
u
nfavourable climatic conditions,
-
d
riving on slippery sur faces (ice).In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted by the illumination of these warning
lamps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
c
onditions of poor visibility (inadequate
street lighting, snowfall, rain, fog),

Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver who must remain in control of their
decisions. It is never the intention of these
systems to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or
deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of driving
at a speed above 40
mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15
minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" system is combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.Using a camera placed at the top of
the windscreen, the system assesses
the driver's level of vigilance by
identifying variations in trajectory
compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Driver Attention Warning" system or of
this combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
6
Driving

160
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message "Dangerous
driving: take a break ", accompanied by a
more pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts irrespective of the driver's level
of vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-
lan
e markings absent, worn, concealed
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle’s
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present both within the sensors’ detection
zone and in the vehicle path defined by the
orientation of the steering wheel.
Driving

161
Adjusting the audible signalOn versions equipped with
PEUGEOT Connect Radio,
pressing this button opens the
audible signal volume adjustment
window.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6
mph (10
km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10
km/h).
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
The proximity information is given by an intermittent
audible signal, the frequency of which increases as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the obstacle
is located.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre may
be signalled mistakenly, while moving
obstacles which appear at the sides of
the vehicle and which were not previously
recorded will not be signalled.
Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.

With audio system or touch screen
The deactivation or activation
is carried out via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off. The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist , refer
to the corresponding section.
