Operation
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high when approaching another vehicle,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
immediately.
Important: the level 1 alert is never
displayed for a stationary obstacle or
when the "Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
stops operating. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The "Vehicle close" message is
displayed.
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.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or
a pedestrian or cyclist present in your traffic
lane.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
The current threshold can be
modified via the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking can be given, confirming the
risk of collision.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
-
-
"Distant",
"Normal",
"Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.

Driving
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.
-
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle
or a cyclist is detected.
The vehicle's speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h) (versions with camera and radar)
or between 6 mph and 53 mph (10 km/h and
85 km/h) (versions with camera alone) when
a moving vehicle is detected.
Active Safety Brake
If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle,
a pedestrian or a cyclist, this
warning lamp flashes (for about
10 seconds) when the function is
acting on the vehicle's brakes.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
continuous illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alert 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 frontal collision by your vehicle where the
driver fails to react.
6
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
Fatigue detection system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The driver can control the vehicle at any
time by making a deliberate movement
of the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
The function comprises the "Coffee Break
Alert" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed
37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
