AT A GLANCE
All-new Peugeot Rifter offers an impressive range of safety features designed to help keep you and your passengers out of harm's way.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM
An intelligent autonomous braking system designed to avoid a collision or limit its severity by reducing the vehicle's speed, which is triggered if the driver does not react quickly enough, by activating the vehicle's brakes.
A multifunction camera located at the top of the windscreen, coupled with a bumper mounted radar, detects obstructions on the road. The system is able to detect vehicles that are moving in the same direction or are at a stop, together with pedestrians in the road.
DISTANCE ALERT SYSTEM
Working in conjunction with the Automatic Emergency Braking System, the distance alert function warns the driver if the vehicle risks a collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian in the road. Two levels of warning are available : the first 'Amber' warning provides a visual alert to the potential risk. And in a more severe instance a 'Red' visual and audible alert indicate a collision is imminent and that driver action is required : failure to act triggers the Automatic Emergency Braking System.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING*
Now you can enjoy the feeling of having eyes in the back of your head. Using lateral ultrasound sensors to cover areas out of your field of vision, an LED illuminates in either side door mirror to alert to the presence of a car, lorry, motorbike or bicycle in your blind spot. The system works when overtaking a slower vehicle or when overtaken by a faster vehicle. This intelligent feature operates from speeds as low as 8mph right up to the National Speed Limit.
*Cost option.
LANE KEEPING TECHNOLOGIES
All-new PEUGEOT Rifter is always one step ahead. Featuring advanced lane keeping technology, it’s able to identify lines on the road via a windscreen mounted camera. The technology operates in the following ways:
- Lane Departure Warning: a system that monitors continuous and discontinuous lines and warns the driver if a longitudinal lane marking on the ground is accidentally crossed. If steering deviation is detected, you are alerted by a flashing indicator on the digital instrument panel and an audible signal in the cabin.
- Active Lane Keeping Assistance: in addition to visually and audibly alerting the driver, all-new Peugeot Rifter also features LKA. As soon as the system identifies a risk of accidentally crossing one of the marking lines detected on the ground, the steering is gradually corrected to keep the vehicle in lane, at speeds of over 40mph.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STOP SYSTEM*
DRIVER ATTENTION ALERT*
PEUGEOT CONNECT SOS & ASSISTANCE*
A vehicle locating communication unit, this feature can be used manually (through a dedicated SOS button on the console) or automatically (if pyrotechnic devices are deployed). It locates the vehicle precisely and triggers the sending of the appropriate emergency services for a rapid response.
Peugeot are the pioneers of this technology, and since launching in 2003, PEUGEOT Connect SOS & Assistance has assisted over 7,000 individuals. The system is subscription free with no additional charges and uses a GPS module and SIM card (built in to the system).
*Cost option
TRAILER SWAY MITIGATION SYSTEM*
The optional tow bar includes Trailer Sway Mitigation System which brings in an additional ESP® function to reduce the vibrations of the trailer or, if necessary, slow the vehicle. Vibrations are reduced via individual and alternated braking manoeuvres on the front wheels. In most cases, these manoeuvres are sufficient to completely eliminate the vibrations and thereby averting all danger. Should the vibrations be very strong, then the system reduces the engine torque and applies brakes on all four wheels to reduce the speed as quickly as possible.
Trailer Sway Mitigation operates at speeds between 40 and 100 mph and detects the trailer once the trailer’s electric connector is hooked up to the towing vehicle.
*In conjunction with Peugeot Approved tow bar.
