Driving
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 (orange): 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.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.
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: alert level 1 is never
displayed when the "Close" trigger
threshold has been selected.
- 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 road
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),
- 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.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
- "Distant",
- "Normal",
- "Close".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
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 you
press the brake pedal.
