6– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
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.
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.
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 that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
signalling that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "
Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
signalling 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 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 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 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.
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.

Driving
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.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 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.
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.
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.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this indicator lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message
and an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Active Lane Keeping Assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road
and at 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 unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
– The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
– The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing
line.
– The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
– The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
– The ESC system must be activated and not
faulty.
The system helps the driver only when there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It

Conditions for operation
– The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 1 12 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
–
The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing
line.
–
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
–
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
–
The ESC system must be activated and not
faulty
.
The system helps the driver only when there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. 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 intervene (for example, if
the dividing line marking disappears).
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.
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.
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.

"Hold the wheel" –
If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to
the driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your
hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
–
ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
–
speed below 40 mph (65
km/h) or greater than
112 mph (180
km/h),
–
electrical connection of a trailer
,
–
use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of
the system is recommended),
–
dynamic driving style detected, pressure on
the brake or accelerator pedal,
–
driving where there are no lane markings,
–
activation of the direction indicators,
– crossing the inside line on a bend,
– driving in a tight corner ,
–
inactivity by the driver detected during
correction.
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.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–
insufficient contrast between the road
surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),
–
lane markings worn, hidden (snow
, mud) or
multiple (roadworks, etc.),
–
running close to the vehicle in front (the
lane markings may not be detected),
–
roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the
following driving situations:

126
Driving
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding
sections.
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function comprises
either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by
camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed 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 Alert
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:
–
engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
–
the ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
–
the 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 by
camera
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention Alert"
may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert
by camera".
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction 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)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
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.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
– poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the
road, falling snow, heavy rain, dense fog,
etc.);
– dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);
– windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.
Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
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) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith PEUGEOT Connect Radio or
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing
this button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
