ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/11)
Active emergency braking
The system has two types. Depending
on the vehicle, one of the two systems
is equipped in the vehicle.
- System A
- System B
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion is not under any circum-
stances intended to replace
the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be
in control of the vehicle.
System A is composed of the radar
sensor 1 and the front camera 2.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system A from the shape of the front
camera area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
A , please refer to the information on
“System A” in following pages.
Note: The radar sensor 1 is located
behind the front bumper. It’s difficult to
identify the presence of the radar. System
B is using the radar-camera
sensor 3.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system B from the shape of the radar-
camera sensor area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
B , please refer to the information on
“System B” in following pages.

Operation
While driving (at speeds of between 20
and 85 mph (30 and 140 km/h)), if there
is a risk of collision with the vehicle in
front, the warning light 4 will be dis-
played on the instrument panel in red,
alongside a beep.
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of
collision, the brake force is increased. If
the driver fails to react following an alert
of an imminent collision, the system ac-
tivates the brakes.
System A
Operating principle
Using the radar sensor, the system cal-
culates the distance separating the ve-
hicle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
Note: make sure that the radar sensor 1
is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow etc.
or by the fitting of accessories such as
bullbars).4

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (3/11)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
 warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted (for example: radar obscured by
dirt, mud, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the detection zone of
the radar. When you next start the
engine, the warning light and the
message go out
– if this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.
Consult an approved dealer.
Press the switch 7
OK again to activate
or deactivate the function:= function activated
< function deactivated
The warning light
 is displayed on
the instrument panel when the system
is deactivated. This system is reacti-
vated each time the ignition is switched
on.
Conditions for non-activation
of the system
The system cannot be activated:
– when the gear lever is in neutral;
– when the parking brake is activated;
– while cornering.
– For 4-wheel drive vehicles, when Electronic Stability Programme
(ESC) with understeer and trac-
tion control are deactivated (please
see “Electronic Stability Programme
(ESC) with understeer and trac-
tion control” above). Warning light
comes on.The system A only detects vehicles
driving in the same direction of traf-
fic. The system cannot detect mo-
torcycles because of the difficulty in
forecasting their trajectory.

2.42
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (4/11)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be
delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of t\
he vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera or radar alignment may be ch\
anged, and its operation may consequently be af- fected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera or radar are located (repai\
rs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
– Fitting accessories which may block the radar is prohibited (bull \
bars etc.).
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.43
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (5/11)
Limitation of the system operation
– The system will only respond to vehicles which are moving or which have \
been sensed as moving.
– The radar area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in ord\
er to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes, bicycles\
or pedestrians as effectively as to other vehicles.
– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (\
rain, snow, black ice etc.).
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avo id-
ance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.44
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/11)
System B
Operating principle
Using information from the radar-cam-
era, the system calculates the distance
which separates it from the vehicle in
front and the surrounding pedestrians.
It notifies the driver if there is a risk of
head-on collision. The driver can then
brake the vehicle to limit the damage
arising from a collision.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion is not under any circum-
stances intended to replace
the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be
in control of the vehicle.This system applies maximum
braking to the vehicle
For safety reasons, always wear
your seat belt when travelling in
your vehicle and make sure that it
is loaded so that no items can be
thrown forward and hit the occu-
pants.
9
Detection of pedestrians
Operation
When driving (speed between
about 4.2 mph (7 km/h) and 36 mph
(60 km/h)), if there is a risk of impact
with a pedestrian, the indicator 9 is dis-
played in red on the instrument panel
and accompanied by a beep.
When the impact is imminent, the
system activates the braking.
The system can apply maximum brak-
ing.

2.47
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (9/11)
System B (continued)
Conditions for non-activation
of the system
The system cannot be activated:
– when the gear lever is in neutral;
– when the parking brake is activated;
– while cornering.
As a general rule, if the driver shows
signs of attention (action on the steering
wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays
its operation or does not activate.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
 warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
Consult an approved dealer.
Temporarily not available
When the system detects a tempo-
rary unavailability, the
 warning
light lights up on the instrument panel
accompanied by the message “Active
braking: sensor blind” or, depending on
the vehicle, “Radar-camera: no visibil-
ity”.
The possible causes are:
– the system is temporarily blinded (glare from the sun, dipped beam
headlights, bad weather conditions
etc.). The system will be operational
again when visibility conditions are
better.
– The system is temporarily disrupted (for example: windscreen obscured
by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the windscreen. When
you next start the engine, the warn-
ing light and the message go out.
– If this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.

2.48
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (10/11)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be
delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of t\
he vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera or radar alignment may be ch\
anged, and its operation may consequently be af- fected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera or radar are located (repai\
rs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the su\
rrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo- cated in a snowy area etc.);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.49
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (11/11)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The radar-camera area on the windscreen should be kept clean and free of\
any modifications in order to ensure the
proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycl\
es as effectively as to other vehicles.
– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (\
rain, snow, black ice etc.).
– To ensure correct operation, System B needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the sys\
tem cannot
detect:
- Pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;
- Partially visible pedestrians;
- Pedestrians less than approximately 80cm tall;
- Pedestrian carrying large objects;
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side o\
r the interior rear-view mirror side);
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on thi\
s area of the windscreen; have it changed by an Authorised Dealer).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avo id-
ance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.69
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (1/8)
The adaptive cruise control is a func-
tion which gives you the option, when
traffic conditions permit (large free-flow-
ing road or motorway), of maintaining
a chosen speed, known as the cruising
speed, while keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front in the same
lane.
The function can be adjusted from
31 mph (50 km/h) to 99.2 mph
(160 km/h).
The radar-camera has a range of
around 120 metres.
Note:
– the driver should take account of the maximum legally permissible speed
in the country where the vehicle is
travelling;
– the adaptive cruise control can brake the vehicle up to a third of the brak-
ing capacity. Depending on the situ-
ation, the driver may need to brake
harder.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
Therefore, it can under no
circumstances replace the
driver’s responsibility to respect
speed limits and to be vigilant (the
driver must always be ready to
brake).
The adaptive cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffic, on
winding or slippery roads (black ice,
aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad
weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Location of the radar-
camera 1
Make sure the windscreen is not ob-
scured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation
etc.).
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
