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
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-
T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
-

T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a
cyclist is detected. If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle,
a pedestrian or a cyclist, this warning
lamp flashes (for about 10 seconds)
when 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.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, inter venes 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
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver
fails to react. 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.
-

T
he vehicle's speed must be above 6 mph
(10 km/h) (versions with camera and radar)
or between 6 mph and 53 mph (10 km/h and
85 km/h) (versions with camera alone) when
a moving vehicle is detected.
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.
