the car and is recognised as being aware
of the situation and possible collision.
The car is equipped with the "creeping"
function. It could then restart after a few
seconds from automatic stop.
WARNING After the car is stopped, the
brake callipers may be locked for about
2 seconds for safety reasons. Press the
brake pedal if the car should advance
slightly.
Engagement / disengagement
The Autonomous Emergency Brake
Control can be deactivated (and then
switched back on again) using the
Uconnect™ system (see "Settings" in
the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the
"Multimedia" section), or using the
instrument panel (see "Settings" in the
"Display" paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" section).
The system can be turned off even with
the ignition device in the ENGINE
position.
The system can be set to three activation
levels:
System active: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, provides limited braking,
automatic braking and additional
assistance in braking stage, where the
driver does not brake sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal impact;
System partially active: the system (if
active) does not provide limited braking,
but guarantees automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage,
where the driver does not brake at all
or not sufficiently in the event of a
potential frontal accident. The visual and
acoustic warnings are deactivated, and
will not be provided;
System deactivated: the system does
not provide visual and acoustic warnings,
limited braking, automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage.
The system will therefore provide no
indication of a possible accident.
WARNING Visual signals will indicate
the direction of detection of the obstacle
(vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists).
Activation / deactivation
If Autonomous Emergency Brake Control
has been correctly activated, it will be
active each time the engine is started.
The system is deactivated if this is
selected on the instrument panel or
Uconnect™ system menu.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
accident with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected.
The system activation status will not be
kept in the memory when the engine is
switched off: if the system is deactivated
when the engine is switched off, it will
be active when it its next started.
After a deactivation, the system can be
reactivated from the Uconnect™ system
or instrument panel menu.
The function is not active at speed above
5 km/h.
The system is only active if:
it has been activated correctly;
it has not been deactivated using the
instrument panel or Uconnect™ system
menu;
the ignition device is in the ENGINE
position;
car speed is higher than 5 km/h.
Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Uconnect™
system or instrument panel menu,
choosing from one of the following three
options: "Near", "Med" or "Far". See the
description in the "Multimedia" section
for how to change the settings.
The default option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of
a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings. This setting offers the driver
reaction time longer than that of the
"Near" setting but shorter than that
of the "Far" setting in the event of a
potential accident.
By setting system sensitivity to "Near",
the system warns the driver of a possible
accident with the vehicle in front when
that vehicle is a short distance away.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
