Peugeot 208 2020-2025 Driving Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistance

123Driving6–You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.–Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan, etc.Operating limitsNo alert is triggered in the following conditions:–presence of stationary objects (e.g.parked vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).–vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.–on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.–when overtaking or being overtaken by a very long vehicle (e.g.truck, bus), which is both detected in a blind spot from behind and present in the driver's field of vision from the front.–quick overtaking manoeuvre.–very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object.–activation ofthePark Assistfunction. MalfunctionIf the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain climatic conditions (e.g.rain, hail).In particular, driving on a wet road or going from a dry to a wet area can cause false alerts (e.g.presence of a cloud of water droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors, or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper correct operation of the system.Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistanceFor more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
124DrivingThis 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.The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25km/h) for versions with camera only, or by a maximum of 31 mph (50km/h) for versions with camera and radar.The system also takes motorcyclists and animals into account; however, animals below 0.5m tall and objects on the road are not necessarily detected.This system is comprised of three functions:–Collision Risk Alert.–Intelligent emergency braking assistance (iEBA).–Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency braking).The vehicle has a multifunction 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.It is the driver's responsibility to continuously monitor traffic conditions in accordance with applicable driving regulations.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.Deactivation/ActivationBy default, the system is automatically activated at every engine start.The settings are changed via the 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.Operating conditions and limitsVehicle moving forward.ESC system operational.ASR system activated.Seat belts fastened for all passengers.Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.In the following cases, deactivating the system via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:–Towing a trailer.–Carrying long objects on roof bars.–Vehicle with snow chains fitted.–Before using an automatic car wash, with the engine running.–Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop.–Towed vehicle, engine running.–Following an impact to the windscreen close to the detection camera.The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of "space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter) is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps are not in perfect working order.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.Following an impact, the system is automatically deactivated.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Collision Risk AlertThis function warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic lane.Modifying the alert trigger thresholdThis trigger threshold determines the sensitivity with which the function warns of the risk of collision.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.

126DrivingOperationThe system operates subject to the following conditions:–At reduced speed in an urban environment, when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is detected.–The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 53 mph (10km/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.This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, 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.The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the accelerator pedal.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.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If these warning lamps come on after the engine has been switched off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.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.Distraction detectionFor more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.The function comprises the "Driver Attention Warning" system combined with the "Driver Attention Warning by Camera" system.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.Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least every 2 hours.Activation/DeactivationThis function is set via the touch screen Driving/Vehicle menu.The state of the system is memorised when the ignition is switched off.Driver Attention WarningThe 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 (70km/h).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.–The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their door is opened.As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43mph (70km/h), the system goes into standby.Driving time starts being counted again once the speed reaches above 43mph (70km/h).Driver Attention Warning by CameraThe 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 (70km/h)).At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an audible signal.
