Collision Risk Alert and
Active Safety Brake
Activation and operating
conditions
The system is activated from 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
r
egistered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,
-
p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
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 avoid 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.
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions.
Collision Risk Alert:
it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in
front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance :
it supplements the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen. In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-
w hen towing a trailer,
- w hen carrying long objects on roof bars or a
roof rack,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling stand
in a workshop,
-
w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-
w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
-
fo
llowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-
i
f the brake lamps are not working.It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.

Collision Risk Alert
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.Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front. Level 2 (red) : visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment. 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:
alert level 1 is never displayed
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted 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 predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in the
memory 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.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision with your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
