Active Safety Brake With Distance Alert And Intelligent Emergency Braking Assistance - PEUGEOT 208 Manual

Driving
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System, refer to the corresponding

Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Distance Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
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.
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.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
