ADVANCED SAFETY
Active emergency braking
(continued)
Detection of vehicles
If driving at a speed over 5 mph (8 km/h)
and there is a risk of collision with the
vehicle in front, with an oncoming ve-
hicle in the context of a manoeuvre to
change direction, or with a stationary
vehicle, the system:
– warns you of a collision risk:

the red warning light, or, de-
pending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 10 and the message "Brake"
appear on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by a beep.
If the driver presses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of
collision, the braking force may be
increased if it is not sufficient to pre-
vent the collision.
– may trigger braking:
if the driver fails to react following
the alert and collision becomes im-
minent.

If active emergency braking has caused
the vehicle to stop, the vehicle is kept
stationary for a short time. Beyond this
time limit, the vehicle must be held sta-
tionary by the driver keeping their foot
on the brake pedal.
Note: if the driver uses the vehicle con-
trols (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) the
system may delay certain operations or
not activate.
In the event of emergency manoeu-
vre, you can stop braking at any
moment by:
– tapping the accelerator pedal;
or
– turning the steering wheel as a
collision avoidance manoeuvre.
