Driving
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a
wet surface
or moving from a
dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example,
the presence of a fog of water droplets
in the blind spot angle is interpreted as
a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Detection
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system allows:
-
the driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
a pedestrian or, depending on version, a
cyclist,
- a collision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m tall and objects on the road
are not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
-
Collision Risk Alert,
-
Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind
Spot Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40
and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.
The vehicle has a
multifunctional camera
located at the top of the windscreen and,
depending on version, a radar located in the
front bumper.
