And Intelligent Emergency Braking Assistance - PEUGEOT 308 Handbook

Driving
Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
The system allows:
- the driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
- a collision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.
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).
146
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and a radar located in the front
bumper.
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 replace 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 slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
Deactivation of the system is signalled
by the illumination of this indicator
lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC system must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
- poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
fog, etc.),
- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
- camera or radar obstructed (mud, frost,
snow, condensation, etc.).
On versions with the camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:
Visibility limited, see user guide".
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
