105
This is a driving assistance system
consisting of a camera mounted in
the middle of the windscreen fig. 100
capable of intervening in case of
vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
In the event of an imminent collision
the system intervenes by automatically
braking the car to prevent the impact or
reduce its effects.
100 AB0A0538
The system provides the driver with
audible and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
panel display.
The system may lightly brake to warn
the driver if a possible frontal accident
is detected (limited braking). Signals
and limited braking are intended to
allow the driver to react promptly, in
order to prevent or reduce the effects
of a potential accident.
In situations with the risk of collision, if
the system detects no intervention by
the driver, it provides automatic braking
to help slow the car and mitigate the
potential frontal accident (automatic
braking).
If intervention by the driver on the brake
pedal is detected but not deemed
sufficient, the system may intervene
in order to improve the reaction of the
braking system, therefore reducing car
speed further (additional assistance
in braking stage). The system will not
intervene if the driver takes control of
the car and is recognised as being
aware of the situation and possible
collision.
The car is equipped with the "creeping"
function. It could then restart after a
few seconds from automatic stop.
WARNING After the car is stopped, the
brake callipers may be locked for about
2 seconds for safety reasons. Press the
brake pedal if the car should advance
slightly.
Engagement / disengagement
The Autonomous Emergency Brake
Control can be deactivated (and then
switched back on again) using the
Uconnect™ system (see "Settings"
in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in
the "Multimedia" section), or using the
instrument panel (see "Settings" in the
"Display" paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section).
The system can be turned off even
with the ignition device in the ENGINE
position.
The system can be set to three
activation levels:
System active:
the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, provides limited braking,
automatic braking and additional
assistance in braking stage, where the
driver does not brake sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal impact;
System partially active:
the system
(if active) does not provide limited
braking, but guarantees automatic
braking or additional assistance in
braking stage, where the driver does
not brake at all or not sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal accident.
The visual and acoustic warnings are
deactivated, and will not be provided;
System deactivated:
the system
does not provide visual and acoustic
warnings, limited braking, automatic
braking or additional assistance in
braking stage. The system will therefore
provide no indication of a possible
accident.
WARNING Visual signals will indicate
the direction of detection of the
