DS 3: Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistance / Intelligent emergency braking assistance (iEBA). Active Safety Brake

Intelligent emergency braking assistance (iEBA)

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will provide additional braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.

This assistance will only be provided if the driver presses the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency braking, intervenes following the alerts if the driver does not react quickly enough and does not operate the vehicle's brakes.

It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.

Operation

The system operates subject to the following conditions:

• The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
• The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist is detected.
• The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 53 mph (10 km/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.
