Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
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 or on the head-up display.
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.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
► Select one of the three pre-defined thresholds:– "Distant".– “Normal".– “Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Without audio system
► In the "DRIVE ASSIST" menu on the
instrument panel display, activate/deactivate
"COLLISION ALT" (Automatic emergency
braking).
► Then change the alert threshold.
With audio system
► In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/deactivate
"Auto. emergency braking".
► Then change the alert threshold.
With touch screen
► In the Driving / Vehicle menu, select
the "Vehicle settings" tab, then
"Security" and activate/deactivate " Collision
risk and auto. braking ".
► Then change the alert threshold.► Press "Confirm" to save the change.
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 under 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 is detected.
