ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING

1
2
Using information from the radar 2 and
camera 1, the system calculates the
distance which separates it from the
vehicle in front and any surrounding pe-
destrians and cyclists.
The system informs the driver if there
is a risk of head-on collision to enable
appropriate emergency manoeuvres
(pressing the brake pedal and/or turn-
ing the steering wheel).
(1/8)
Depending on the reactivity of the
driver, the system can assist with brak-
ing in order to limit damage or prevent
a collision.
Location of the camera 1
Make sure the windscreen is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
Location of the radar 2
Ensure that the radar area is not ob-
structed (by dirt, mud, snow, a badly
fitted front number plate), impacted,
modified (including painting) or hidden
by any accessory fitted on the front of
the vehicle (on the grille or logo etc.).
This system can apply maximum
braking to the vehicle until it is
completely stationary if necessary.
For safety reasons, always wear
your seat belt when travelling in
your vehicle and make sure that it
is loaded so that no items can be
thrown forward and hit the occu-
pants.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion is not under any circum-
stances intended to replace
the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be
in control of the vehicle.
