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.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about
10seconds) once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning the
steering wheel and/or pressing the accelerator
pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, you
are alerted by the fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Alert" and "Driver Attention Alert by camera"
systems, combined, depending on version, with
the "DS Driver Attention Monitoring" system.
These systems are in no way designed to
keep the driver awake or to prevent the
driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation/Deactivation
These functions are activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu of
the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory when
the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
40 mph (65km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40 mph (65km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65km/h).
