DS 3: Driving / Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
For more information,
refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.

This 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 system also takes
motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m 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.
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs)...
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu...
Other information:
For
the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is
activated. If you hold one of the speed setting
modification buttons down, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may occur...
The driver must ensure
that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will
not fulfil their role properly...
