ADDITIONAL DRIVING AID FUNCTIONS
3
Active emergency braking
The system uses information from
the camera
1
to determine how far
your vehicle is:
– from the vehicle ahead in the
same lane;
or
– from any oncoming vehicles in the
context of a manoeuvre to change
direction;
or
– and vehicles passing perpendicu-
larly;
or
– stationary vehicles;
– surrounding pedestrians and cy-
clists.
The system informs the driver if
there is a risk of head-on collision to
enable appropriate emergency ma-
noeuvres (pressing the brake pedal
and/or turning the steering wheel).
Depending on the reactivity of the
driver, the system can assist with
braking in order to limit damage or
prevent a collision.
The system is otherwise inactive
and does not trigger an alert.
This function is an ad-
ditional driving aid.
This function is not in-
tended, under any cir-
cumstances, to replace the due
care and attention of the driver,
who should at all times remain
in control of the vehicle
This system can apply
maximum braking to the
vehicle until it is com-
pletely stationary if necessary.
For safety reasons, always wear
your seat belt when travelling in
your vehicle and make sure that
it is loaded so that no items can
be thrown forward and hit the
occupants.
Location of camera 1
Make sure the windscreen is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, conden-
sation etc.).
Operation
When driving, if there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system:
– alerts you of a collision risk: the
"Obstacle detected" message ap-
pears on the instrument panel ac-
companied by a beep.
Note: if the driver presses the brake
pedal and the system still detects a
risk of collision, the braking force
may be increased if it is not suffi-
cient to prevent the collision.
– braking may be triggered: if the
driver does not react to the alert and
