Driving
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
- "Distant",
-
"Normal",
-
"Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
signalling that the vehicle in front is
very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Level 2
(red): visual and audible
alert, signalling that a collision is
imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking can be given, confirming the
risk of collision.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1
alert is never
displayed for a
stationary obstacle or
when the "Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a
collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the
driver presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed
37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid
a
collision where the driver fails to react.
