Active Safety Brake With Distance Alert And Intelligent Emergency Braking Assistance - PEUGEOT 508 Handbook

Operating limits
The Lane Positioning Assist system may
emit an alert when the vehicle is travelling
in a long straight lane on a smooth road
surface even if the driver is holding the
steering wheel properly.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
- Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
snowfall, rain, fog).
- Dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a wet road surface,
leaving a tunnel, alternating light and
shade).
- Windscreen area in front of the camera
being dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or masked by a sticker.
- Lane markings damaged, partially hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
pavement seams).
- Travelling in a tight bend.
- Winding roads.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
- When driving on a small-diameter
spare wheel.
- When towing, especially with an
unconnected or unapproved trailer.
- Unfavourable climatic conditions.
- Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk
of aquaplaning, snow, ice).
- Driving on racing circuits.
- Driving on a rolling road.
Recommendations on care
- Regularly check that the front bumper and
the area of the windscreen located in front
of the camera are clean.
- Regularly check that the windscreen wipers
are in good condition.
- In bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the front bumper and windscreen are
not covered with mud, ice or snow.
Operating faults
A system malfunction is indicated
by the Service warning lamp
coming on and this (orange) symbol,
accompanied by an alert message
and an audible signal.

Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
This system allows:
- the driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front, a
pedestrian or, depending on the version, a
cyclist,
- a collision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
