Fatigue Detection System; Active Safety Brake - CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS Handbook

Active Safety Brake

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.
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.
- 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.
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.
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.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can control the vehicle at any
time by making a deliberate movement
of the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
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.
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.
