Driving
Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumpers.
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
- vehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
- pedestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a sense of
deceleration.
Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
- when towing a trailer,
- when carrying long objects on roof bars or a
roof rack,
- before using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
- before placing the vehicle on a rolling stand
in a workshop,
- when the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.
Distance alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
- following impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
- if the front bumper has been damaged
(version with radar),
- if the brake lamps are not working.
