This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.

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.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different

dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one

operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
