Collision Risk Alert and Active Safety
Brake
Conditions for operation
The Active Safety Brake system operates:
-
between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in
the case of a moving vehicle,
- at a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the
case of a stationary vehicle,
- at a speed below 36 mph (60 km/h), in the
case of a pedestrian,
- if the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-
if the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-
if the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The Collision Risk Alert system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system intervenes
following the alert if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
These system are designed to improve
road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
These systems do not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The Collision Risk Alert system only
operates:
-
with a registered vehicle pointing in the
same direction as the traffic, moving or
stationary,
-
with pedestrians.
-
from 4 mph (7 km/h) (and is deactivated at
3 mph (5 km/h)).
