The “Advanced Security” system consists of:

- active emergency braking;

and

- Emergency Lane Keep Assist.

The “Advanced Safety” system uses information from the camera 1, front radar 2 and side radars 3.

This system provides an additional driving aid.

This system is not, under any circumstances, intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

Location of the camera 1

Make sure the windscreen is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

Location of the front radar 2

Ensure that the radar area is not obstructed (by dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted front number plate), impacted, modified (including painting) or hidden by any accessory fitted on the front of the vehicle (on the grille or logo etc.).

Location of the side radars 3

Ensure that the radar area is not obstructed (by dirt, mud, snow etc.), impacted or modified (including paintwork etc.).

Depending on the sensitivity setting selected, the “Lane Keep Assist” function may be used prior to operation of the “Advanced Safety” system.

Activating, deactivating the system from the multimedia screen 4

(depending on the vehicle)

To activate or deactivate the function, refer to the multimedia instructions.

Select “ON” or “OFF”.

< function deactivated

Upon deactivation of the system, the warning light illuminates or, depending on the vehicle, the warning light illuminates in yellow on the instrument panel.

When the system is activated, the warning light disappears.

This system is reactivated each time the ignition is switched on.

Active emergency braking

The system uses information from the radar 2 and the camera 1 to determine the distance from your vehicle:

- from the vehicle ahead in the same lane;

or

- from any oncoming vehicles in the context of a manoeuvre to change direction;

or

- surrounding pedestrians and cyclists.

The system informs the driver if there is a risk of head-on collision to enable appropriate emergency manoeuvres (pressing the brake pedal and/or turning the steering wheel).

Depending on the reactivity of the driver, the system can assist with braking in order to limit damage or prevent a collision.

This function is an additional driving aid.

This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

This system can apply maximum braking to the vehicle until it is completely stationary if necessary.

For safety reasons, always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle and make sure that it is loaded so that no items can be thrown forward and hit the occupants.

Active emergency braking

(continued)

Detection of vehicles

If driving at a speed between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h) and there is a risk of collision with the vehicle in front, with an oncoming vehicle in the context of a manoeuvre to change direction, or with a stationary vehicle, the system:

- warns you of a collision risk:

the red warning light, or, depending on the vehicle, the display 10 and the message “Brake” appear on the instrument panel, accompanied by a beep.

If the driver presses the brake pedal and the system still detects a risk of collision, the braking force may be increased if it is not sufficient to prevent the collision.

- may trigger braking:

if the driver fails to react following the alert and collision becomes imminent.

If active emergency braking has caused the vehicle to stop, the vehicle is kept stationary for a short time. Beyond this time limit, the vehicle must be held stationary by the driver keeping their foot on the brake pedal.

Note: if the driver uses the vehicle controls (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) the system may delay certain operations or not activate.

In the event of emergency manoeuvre, you can stop braking at any moment by:

- tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

- turning the steering wheel as a collision avoidance manoeuvre.

Active emergency braking

(continued)

Special features of oncoming vehicles in the context of a manoeuvre to change direction

When you wish to change direction (e.g. A), oncoming vehicles travelling at approximately 18 mph (30 km/h) to 35 mph (55 km/h) are detected by the system when:

- your vehicle is travelling at a speed between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) to 12 mph (20 km/h);

- you have activated the direction indicator light.

The system is otherwise inactive and does not trigger an alert.

Special features of stationary vehicles

Stationary vehicles are detected when your vehicle is being driven at a speed between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and 62 mph (100 km/h). The system is not active and does not emit a warning for stationary vehicles when your vehicle speed exceeds approximately 62 mph (100 km/h).

Special features of warnings

Depending on the speed, the warning and braking may be activated simultaneously.

This function is an additional driving aid.

This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

Active emergency braking

(continued)

Detection of pedestrians and cyclists

When driving at a speed between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and 53 mph (86 km/h), if there is a risk of collision with a cyclist or pedestrian, the system:

- warns you of a collision risk:

the red warning light, or, depending on the vehicle, the display 10 and the message “Brake” appear on the instrument panel, accompanied by a beep.

If the driver presses the brake pedal and the system still detects a risk of collision, the braking force may be increased if it is not sufficient to prevent the collision.

- may trigger braking:

if the driver fails to react following the alert and collision becomes imminent.

If active emergency braking has caused the vehicle to stop, the vehicle is kept stationary for a short time. Beyond this time limit, the vehicle must be held stationary by the driver keeping their foot on the brake pedal.

Note: if the driver uses the vehicle controls (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) the system may delay certain operations or not activate.

Special features related to stationary cyclists and pedestrians

The system does not detect stationary cyclists and pedestrians.

In this case, the system is inactive and does not trigger a warning.

In the event of emergency manoeuvre, you can stop braking at any moment by:

- tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

- turning the steering wheel as a collision avoidance manoeuvre.

Active emergency braking

(continued)

Temporarily not available

If the system detects a temporary fault the warning light illuminates, or depending on the vehicle, the warning light illuminates in yellow on the instrument panel.

The possible causes are:

- the system is temporarily blinded (glare from the sun, dipped beam headlights, bad weather conditions etc.). The system will be operational again when visibility conditions are better;

- the system is temporarily interrupted (e.g. the windscreen or the front or rear bumper is obscured by dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.). In this case, park the vehicle and switch off the engine. Clean the windscreen and front bumper. The next time the engine is started, after five or ten minutes of driving, the warning light and the message disappear.

If this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an Approved Dealer.

Operating faults

When the function detects an operating fault, the warning lights © and or, depending on the vehicle, © and , appear in yellow on the instrument panel accompanied by the message “Check Front camera” or “Front radar to check” or “Check Camera/Radar”.

Consult an approved dealer.

Active emergency braking

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steering wheel, pedals etc.).

The system cannot be activated:

- when the gear lever is in neutral or the clutch pedal has been pressed for approximately two seconds;

- when the parking brake has been activated for approximately ten seconds.

System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the area where the radar and/or camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

- a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);

- poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);

- poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

- poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white located in a snowy area etc.);

- being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

- windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);

- ...

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

Limitation of the system operation

- Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may be inactive for a length of time between approximately two to five minutes of driving;

- An oncoming vehicle will not trigger any warning or system action if the conditions in the paragraph “Special features of oncoming vehicles in the context of a manoeuvre to change direction” are not met (see previous pages);

- The radar and camera zones must be kept clean and free of any tampering in order to ensure the proper operation of the system;

- the system may not respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes as effectively as to other vehicles;

- the system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice, etc.);

- to ensure correct operation, the system needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the system cannot detect:

- pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;

- partially visible pedestrians;

- pedestrians less than approximately 80 cm tall;

- pedestrians carrying large objects;

- ...

In these conditions, the system may not react or may brake inadvertently.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

- the area of the camera has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

- the front of the vehicle has been damaged (impact, distortion, scratch on the radar, etc.);

- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

- the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an approved dealer);

- you are not driving on a paved road.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in an avoidance manoeuvre.

Emergency Lane Keep Assist

Using information from the camera 1, the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle steering system when approaching the roadside (divider, barrier, pavement, embankment etc.) without the direction indicator light having been activated.

Using information from the radar 2 and the camera 1, the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle steering system in the event of a risk of collision with a vehicle coming from the opposite direction in the adjacent lane, without the direction indicator having been activated.

Depending on the vehicle, using information from the radars 3 and the camera 1, the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle steering system in the event of a risk of collision with a vehicle moving at the same speed or at a higher speed, if within the detection area of the rear radars.

You can retake control of the vehicle at any time by operating the steering wheel.

This system provides an additional driving aid.

This system is not, under any circumstances, intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
