Driving06
It is possible that collision 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.
If you select "Far" in the touch screen,
then the system warns sooner. This
increases the safety but increases also the
amount of alerts, if the legal safety distance is
not kept.
To reduce the alert occurrence, you can change
the setting to either of the other two.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration if the
driver does not brake enough to avoid a collision.
This assistance is only provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of impact
or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum
of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or by a maximum of 31 mph
(50 km/h) (versions with camera and radar).
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is
detected.
–

The v
ehicle'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.
During the flashing time, the function is not
available.
In the event of automatic emergency braking,
keep the brake pedal depressed, also after a
complete stop is reached, to prevent the vehicle
from rolling away.
The driver can override the automatic
emergency braking at any time by firmly
turning the steering wheel and/or firmly
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may feel hard and vibrate
slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.

Practical information07
As soon as you release the handle, it is engaged
automatically in its storage case.
Usage position
Towball unlocked:

►  Grasp the towball and rotate it while raising it
until it locks into place, in the vertical position.
The towball must be folded away when
using a high-pressure washer.
Do not direct the jet from less than 30 cm from
the towing system.


►  Raise the electrical socket cover and connect
the plug for the trailer or carrying device.
►  Attach the trailer’s safety cable to the ring in
the towball elbow.
Storage position
When the towing system is not in use, it is
recommended to fold the towball away.
In the event of a rear-end collision, damage to
the vehicle could be worse with the towball in
place.
Towball unlocked and socket disconnected:


►  Grasp the towball and rotate it until it locks
into place, in the horizontal position.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for any
work on the towing system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the
vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
