Citroen C3: Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and Intelligent emergency braking assistance / Intelligent emergency braking assistance. Active Safety Brake. Malfunction
Intelligent emergency braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a collision, this system will supplement the 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 under 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 is detected.
- The vehicle's speed is between 3 mph and 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function acts on the vehicle’s braking.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain
control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning the
steering wheel and/or sharply pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function
may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
system,
you are alerted by the fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by the display
of a message and an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
