DS 3: Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistance / Deactivation/Activation. Operating conditions and limits

Deactivation/Activation

By 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 limits

Vehicle 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 once the use of a different diameter "space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with the two lateral 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 dealer or a qualified workshop.
