Location of the radar 1

Using the radar data 1, the system calculates the distance:

  • from the vehicle ahead in the same lane;

or

  • from oncoming vehicles at a crossroads.

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.

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

tip

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.

warning

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.

Operation

Detection of vehicles

When driving at a speed between approximately 4 mph (7 km/h) and 105 mph (170 km/h), if there is a risk of collision with the vehicle in front, the system:

  • warns you of a collision risk:

the red 2_ALL_425_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears on the instrument panel accompanied by a beep and, depending on the vehicle, the 2 "Brake" message.

If the driver depresses the brake pedal and the system still detects a risk of collision, the brake force is increased.

  • may trigger braking:

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

If the vehicle stopped as a result of active emergency braking, the driver must keep the vehicle stationary by applying the brake pedal.

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

tip

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

  • tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

  • turning the steering wheel as a collision avoidance manoeuvre.

Special features of warnings

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

Special features of stationary vehicles

Stationary vehicles are detected when your vehicle is being driven at a speed between approximately 4 mph (7 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h). The system is not active and does not emit a warning for stationary vehicles when you exceed approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).

Special features of oncoming vehicles at a crossroads

At a crossroads, when you wish to change direction (e.g. A), oncoming vehicles travelling at around 19 mph (30 km/h) to 34 mph (55 km/h) are detected by the system when:

  • your vehicle is travelling at a speed of around 4 mph (7 km/h) to 16 mph (25 km/h);
  • you have activated the direction indicator.

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

Limitations of system operation

12035_XJI_050_1_image.jpeg

Vehicle detection

A vehicle moving into the same lane (e.g. B) will only be registered by the system once it enters the radar detection areas.

The system may trigger delayed braking.

Detection during cornering

When entering a corner or bend, the radar may temporarily be unable to detect the vehicle in front (e.g. C).

When exiting a bend, the system's detection of the vehicle in front may be disrupted or delayed.

The system may trigger delayed braking.

12035_XJI_052_1_image.jpeg

Non-detection of fixed obstacles and objects of a small size

The system cannot detect:

  • pedestrians, bikes, scooters, etc.;
  • animals;
  • fixed obstacles (toll barriers, walls, etc.) (e.g. D).

These are not taken into account by the system. They do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

Vehicles hidden due to variations in ground relief

The system will not register vehicles driving uphill or downhill when hidden by terrain or when located outside radar detection areas.

Vehicles outside radar detection areas

The system will react late or not at all if detected vehicles are outside the radar detection areas, particularly in the following situations:

12035_XJI_054_1_image.jpeg

  • vehicles transporting long objects which exceed the line;
  • the actual length of tall vehicles (e.g. E) is outside the radar detection area (construction machine, agricultural equipment towing vehicle, etc.);
  • vehicles insufficiently centred in the lane;
  • narrow vehicles which are very close (e.g. F).

System B

The system uses information from 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

  • from vehicles passing perpendicularly;

or

  • stationary vehicles;

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.
