Operation  
Where the speed of your vehicle is too  
high when approaching another vehicle,  
the level 2 alert may be displayed  
immediately.  
Important: the level 1 alert is never  
displayed for a stationary obstacle or  
when the "Close" trigger threshold has  
been selected.  
stops operating. Contact a CITROËN  
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the  
system checked.  
Depending on the degree of risk of collision  
detected by the system and the alert threshold  
chosen by the driver, several different levels  
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the  
instrument panel.  
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the  
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the  
environmental conditions and the operation of  
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,  
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.  
Collision Risk Alert  
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of  
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian  
present in their traffic lane.  
Intelligent emergency  
braking assistance  
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,  
signalling to you that the vehicle in  
front is very close.  
The "Vehicle close" message is  
displayed.  
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid  
a collision, this system will supplement the  
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.  
This assistance will only be provided if you  
press the brake pedal.  
Modifying the alert trigger  
threshold  
This threshold determines how you wish  
to be alerted of the presence of a moving  
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or  
a pedestrian or cyclist present in your traffic  
lane.  
Level 2 (red): visual and audible  
alert, warning you that a collision is  
imminent.  
The message "Brake!" is displayed.  
The current threshold can be  
modified via the Driving/Vehicle  
menu of the touch screen.  
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a  
haptic alert in the form of micro-  
braking can be given, confirming the  
risk of collision.  
You can select one of three predefined  
thresholds:  
-
-
-
"Distant",  
"Normal",  
"Close".  
The last threshold selected is memorised when  
the ignition is switched off.

Driving  
Operation of the function may be felt by  
slight vibration in the brake pedal.  
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,  
the automatic braking is maintained for  
1 to 2 seconds.  
-
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed  
50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle  
or a cyclist is detected.  
The vehicle's speed is above 6 mph  
(10 km/h) (versions with camera and radar)  
or between 6 mph and 53 mph (10 km/h and  
85 km/h) (versions with camera alone) when  
a moving vehicle is detected.  
Active Safety Brake  
If the camera and/or radar have  
confirmed the presence of a vehicle,  
a pedestrian or a cyclist, this  
warning lamp flashes (for about  
10 seconds) when the function is  
acting on the vehicle's brakes.  
Malfunction  
In the event of a fault with the  
system, you are alerted by the  
continuous illumination of this  
warning lamp, accompanied by the  
display of a message and an audible  
signal.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or  
a qualified workshop to have the  
system checked.  
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake  
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from  
starting off again.  
This function, also called automatic emergency  
braking, intervenes following the alert if the  
driver does not react quickly enough and does  
not operate the vehicle's brakes.  
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid  
a frontal collision by your vehicle where the  
driver fails to react.  
6
With a manual gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.  
Fatigue detection system  
Refer to the General recommendations on  
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
The driver can control the vehicle at any  
time by making a deliberate movement  
of the steering wheel and/or pressing the  
accelerator pedal.  
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at  
least every two hours.  
The function comprises the "Coffee Break  
Alert" system combined with the "Driver  
Attention Alert" system.  
Operation  
The system operates under the following  
conditions:  
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed  
37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is  
detected.
