Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Driving Active City Brake

6Driving141208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016The laser beam is invisible. Never look at the laser sensor through an optical instrument (magnifying glass, microscope...): risk of eye injury.Active City BrakeA preventive driving assistance system that, using a sensor located at the top of the windscreen, automatically applies the vehicle's brakes if driving behind a vehicle that is slowing down rapidly, stopping or is stationary.The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce the speed of impact.This system is designed to improve driving safety.It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.The Active City Brake system can in no circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.If operation is triggered:-Display of a message.-Illumination of the brake lamps.The automatic braking is triggered as a last resort, if the driver fails to apply the brakes sufficiently firmly or at all, or to take avoiding action.When your vehicle is too close to or approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the system automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision.Conditions for operation:-Vehicles driving in the same lane.-Not in too sharp a bend.-Speed of your vehicle between 3 and 18 mph (5 and 30 km/h).-Braking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD, EBA) in working order.-Trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) in working order and not deactivated.-Operation of Active City Brake not triggered in the previous 10 seconds.
Driving142208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016The collision can be automatically avoided if the speed difference between your vehicle and the one ahead is not more than 9 mph (15 km/h).Above this threshold, the system will do what is possible to avoid or reduce the seriousness of the accident by lowering the speed of impact.The automatic braking triggered:-can be even more effective if the driver presses the brake pedal more firmly,-may stop the vehicle, holding the brakes on for 1.5 seconds when stationary to allow the driver time to take back control of the vehicle,-may cause the engine to stall,-may give rise to a pumping noise, due to the pressurisation of the braking system.Touch screenPress "MENU" to display the "MAIN MENU".Select "Driving".Select "Secondary page".Select "Vehicle settings".Select the "Driving assistance" tab.Check the "Automatic emergency braking activated" box.ActivationConfirm.DeactivationCheck the "Automatic emergency braking deactivated" box.The last selection remains in memory when the ignition is switched off.If the automatic emergency braking function is deactivated, following each start a temporary message will be displayed to signal this, once a speed threshold(6 mph - 10 km/h) is exceeded.To deactivate:-Following an impact to the windscreen close to the sensor.-When towing a trailer.-When the vehicle is being towed.-When the vehicle is about to cross a toll payment barrier.-When the vehicle is going through an automatic car wash.
6Driving143208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Limits of operationNot detected are:-Pedestrians, animals, motorcyclists, cyclists.-Fixed and non-reflective materials and objects (cardboard box, wall, ...).-Vehicles not travelling in the same direction.The system is not triggered or is interrupted if the driver:-presses the accelerator pedal firmly,-turns the wheel sharply (avoiding manoeuvre).Operating faults Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers, leaves, ...) from the top of the windscreen that could obstruct the laser's field of vision.Misting of the windscreen or accumulations of snow on the bonnet could interfere with the operation of the laser. A message appears if the laser is obstructed.Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean the area of the windscreen in front of the sensor.Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow…). This is because braking distances increase while the laser's calculation parameters remain the same.In the following cases, you should have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.-The message "Automatic braking system fault" accompanied by an audible signal indicating that a fault has been detected.-Following an impact, the system is automatically put out of service, it no longer works. The system detects the deployment of airbags.Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test the sensor.Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is able to work on the system.
