Active City Brake - PEUGEOT 108 Handbook

Driving
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver (steep hill...).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Press the end of the control: the display of
information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it signals
a malfunction of the limiter.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- ensure that mats are secured correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Active City Brake

Active City Brake is a driving assistance
system that aims to avoid a frontal collision or
to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react or reacts too late (brake applied
too late).
This system has been designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle moving in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to intervene only
when there is a high risk of collision.
