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.
6
Driving
152
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 never
displayed for 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 you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-
T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, inter venes 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
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver
fails to react.
Level 2 (red)
: visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3 : finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking may be given to confirm the
risk of collision. If the camera has confirmed the
presence of a vehicle or a pedestrian,
this warning lamp flashes (for about
10 seconds) once the function is
acting on the vehicle's brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, 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
starting 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 sharply turning
the steering wheel and/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.
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is
detected.
-
T
he vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53
mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
Driving
153
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.

Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated every time the ignition
is switched on.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
F
T
o deactivate the system, press this button. Deactivation is signalled by the
lighting of the indicator lamp on
the button and this warning lamp on
the instrument panel.
Reactivation is by another press, the indicator lamp
on the button and the warning lamp switch off.

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.
