Driving safely
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quicklythesystemautomatically
appliesthebrakestoavoidacollision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
Thebrakelampsonyourvehiclecome
ontowarnotherroadusers.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
Theautomaticbrakingmaybring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situationrequiresit.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5seconds)toallowthedrivertotake
backcontrolbypressingthebrake
pedal.
The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedalquicklyenoughduringautomatic
braking.
Duringautomaticbraking,the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
rmlyonthebrakepedal.
After an impact, the system is

Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
directionasyourvehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reectivestationaryobjects.
The system is not triggered or is
interruptedifthedriver:
- accelerates strongly
- or turns the steering wheel
suddenly(avoidingmanoeuvre).
Indifcultweatherconditions(very
heavyrain,snow,fog,hail...),
brakingdistancesincrease,which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoidacollision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularlyvigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
