Active Safety Brake With Collision Risk Alert And Intelligent Emergency Braking Assistance - PEUGEOT Facelift 2008 Handbook

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
– on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.
– when overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both
detected in a blind spot from behind and present
in the driver's field of vision from the front.
– quick overtaking manoeuvre.
– very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front
and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed
by certain weather conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
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 Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, 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 preceding vehicle, a pedestrian
or a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity.
Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h),
automatic emergency braking may slow
down the vehicle to a complete stop.
Otherwise, for versions with camera only, the
speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16
mph (25 km/h).
For versions with camera and radar, the
speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph
(50 km/h), if both sensors are able to detect
the thread.
The system also takes motorcyclists into
account.
It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5 m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.
This system includes three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
