Distance Alert And Active Safety Brake - PEUGEOT 3008 2015 Handbook

Driving
Distance alert and Active
Safety Brake
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
- Distance alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
- Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
Distance 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:
it completes the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.

Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumpers.
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
- registered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,
- pedestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a sense of
deceleration.
Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
- when towing a trailer,
- when carrying long objects on roof bars or a
roof rack,
- before using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
- before placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
- when the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
