Activation
Press the button, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Operation
Three levels of operation are possible:
● Alert: if a risk of collision with a vehicle is
detected, a warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel together with an audible
signal. The thresholds for triggering the
alert can be set.
● Braking assistance: increases the
braking started by the driver, only if a risk
of collision is detected.
● Automatic braking: when your vehicle
is too close to or closing too quickly on
the vehicle ahead of you, the system
automatically operates the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. A collision can
be avoided automatically if the difference
in speed between your vehicle and the one
ahead is not more than 18 mph (30 km/h).
You are then alerted by the display of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users.
The triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.
