Driving
Driver Attention Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 40 mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert by
camera
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention Alert"
may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert
by camera".
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly
while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
A fault in the system is signalled by the
fixed illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps come on if
the driver's seat belt and/or front
passenger seat belt (depending on version) are
not fastened.
Distraction detection
Refer to the
General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by
camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed
to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the
Driving
/
Vehicle
touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
