Driving
by the driver, di󰀨erent levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the di󰀨erence speed of the own
vehicle and the object identied for the collision
risk, and the operation of the vehicle (actions on
the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the
alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given,
conrming the risk of collision (optional).
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.
It is possible that collision warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustied.
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 ADAS touch
screen application, 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 “Medium” or “Near”.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration
if the driver doesn't 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).
