Activation/Deactivation
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 vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
► Press and hold this button to deactivate or
press briefly to reactivate the system at any time.
Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of the
indicator lamp in the button.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
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.
The speed will be reduced by a
maximum of 12 mph (20 km/h) (versions
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running.
– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in

with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic
lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
– Towed vehicle, engine running.
– Damaged front bumper (version with radar).
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
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.
The threshold is set via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
► Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
once the use of a different diameter
"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected,
or if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is
detected.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
Operation
The settings are changed via the
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
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.
Operating conditions and
limits

the vehicle in front is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
you that a collision is imminent.
Distance Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or
– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

Driving
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Active Safety Brake

Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "Near" trigger threshold has been
selected.
This warning lamp flashes (for
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly
while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
149

accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Activation/Deactivation
Driver Attention Alert by
camera
Depending on version, the Driver Attention
Alert system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Alert by camera system.
This function is set via the touch screen
Driving/Vehicle menu.
The state of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
These warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The
automatic braking system is deactivated until the
seat belts are fastened.
Driver Attention Alert
The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
Distraction detection
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by
camera" system.
The system assesses the driver's level of
alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message "Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
These systems are in no way designed
to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
