– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
This system does not replace 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 traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable 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.
The settings are changed via the
vehicle configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.

In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
– Towing a trailer.
– Carrying long objects on roof bars.
– Vehicle with snow chains fitted.
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running.
– When changing a wheel, working near a wheel
or inside the engine compartment.
– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop.
– Towed vehicle, engine running.
– When a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version).
– If the brake lamps are not working.
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Following an impact, the system is
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The settings are changed via the
vehicle configuration menu.
