Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or
,
depending on version, a cyclist.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity

.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) for
versions with camera only, or by a maximum
of 31 mph (50
km/h) for versions with camera
and radar.
The system also takes motorcyclists and animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Collision
Risk Alert.
–

Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunction camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.

136
Driving
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
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.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward.
ESC system operational.
ASR system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the driving aids configuration application is
advised:
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars.
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running.
–

When changing
a wheel, working near a wheel
or inside the engine compartment.
–

Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop.
–


T
owed vehicle, engine running.
–

Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW and GTW limits,
and load height limits for roof bars).
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Following an impact, the system is
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 or cyclist present in their traffic
lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►

Select one of the 3 preset
thresholds:

"Far", "Medium" or "Near".
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
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 on
the instrument panel.
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,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you
that the vehicle in front is very close.

137
Driving
6The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
you 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 "Near " trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
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.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) for
versions with camera only, or by a maximum
of 31 mph (50
km/h) for versions with camera
and radar.
Operation
The system operates subject to 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 or a cyclist
is detected.
–


The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10

km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.

138
Driving
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Special cases
Intersection with another vehicle

The system operates when the vehicle is turning
and detects another vehicle approaching from
the opposite direction if:
–

The vehicle is about to cross the path of
another vehicle.
–


The corresponding direction indicator is
activated in advance.
–


The speed of the vehicle is between 3 and 12
mph (5 and 20

km/h).
Intersection with pedestrians

The system operates when the vehicle is turning
left or right and detects pedestrians crossing if:
–
The pedestrians are crossing in front of the
vehicle.
–


The speed of the vehicle is between 3 and 50
mph (5 and 80

km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The
automatic braking system is deactivated until the
seat belts are fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Warning 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.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the ADAS
touch screen application.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a

139
Driving
6break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver 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:
–

With the 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 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning by
Camera


The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70
km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Be vigilant!", 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.
Active lane departure warning system
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of
involuntary
lane departure or crossing of a verge
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the
lane markings on the ground and the side of the
road (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.


Operating conditions
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
–

Road marked with a central dividing line.
–


Steering wheel held with both hands.
–


Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
–


ESC system activated and operational.

140
Driving
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands so that they can maintain control
when
the conditions no longer allow the
system to intervene (e.g.
in the event that
the central dividing line marking on the road
surface disappears).Operation
As soon as the system identifies a risk of
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane boundary
(e.g.
grass verge), it performs the trajectory
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its
original lane.
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 firmly holding the steering wheel
(e.g.
during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are activated and
for a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that a change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
