Level 2 (red colour): v isual and
audible alert, signalling that a
collision is imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
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.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be warned 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 in the vehicle configuration
menu using the audio system or the
touch screen.
You can select one of three pre-defined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ", -
"
Close ".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.

he vehicle's speed does not exceed 50
mph (80
km/h) when a stationary vehicle is
detected.
-
T
he vehicle's speed is between 3 mph
and 53
mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
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. 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.
