Active emergency braking
Using the sensor 2, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
Note: make sure that the sensor 2 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operation
While driving (at speeds of between
18.6 and 124 mph (30 and 140 km/h),
if there is a risk of collision with the ve-
hicle in front, the warning light 3 will be
displayed on the instrument panel in
red, along with a beep.
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of col-
lision, the brake force is increased.
If the driver fails to react following
an alert of an imminent collision, the
system activates the brakes.
The system only detects vehicles
driving in the same direction of traf-
fic. The system cannot detect mo-
torcycles because of the difficulty in
forecasting their trajectory.
