6(50 km/h), if both sensors are able to detect
the thread.
The system also takes motorcyclists into account.
It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5
m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.
This system includes 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 driver vigilance.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
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 collision, it prepares the braking
circuit. 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 without trailer.
Brake system operational.
ASR system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the system
via the driving aids touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars.
–


Using an automatic car wash.
–


Performing any maintenance (e.g.
changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–


T
owing the vehicle.
–

Following a damage of the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated if:
–

A

spare wheel with a too small diameter is
detected.
–

A

fault with the brake pedal switch or with
the right or left brake lamp is detected.
–

A

fault in the sensors, in the electronic or in
the brake system is detected.
–

A

trailer is detected by the equipped vehicle
hitch (with an electrical connection plug).
–

A

severe crash (e.g. with airbag
deployment) is detected.
In case the detection is degraded or
temporarily unavailable by environment
conditions, then a driver indication is not CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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.

Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the detection
system recalibrated
- risk of malfunction of the
Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–

Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
