Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward.
ESC system in working order.
DSC system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
– Towing a trailer.
– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
– Vehicle with snow chains fitted.
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running.
– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop.
– Towed vehicle, engine running.
– If the brake lamps are not working.
– Damaged front bumper.
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
when the use of a "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with the
lateral brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function
automatically stops operating. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Distance Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
► Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds:
– "
Distant
".
– “
Normal
".
– “
Close
".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only,
warning that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "
Vehicle close
" is displayed.
Level 2 (red)
: visual and audible alert,
warning that a collision is imminent.
The message "
Brake!
" is displayed.
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:
the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "
Near
" trigger threshold has been
selected.
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 the driver
presses the brake pedal.
