Customising kits
These expressive stickers form part  of  a  range  of  kits,  very Â
d
ifferent  one  from  another,  which Â
a
llow  you  to  create  a  unique Â
a
nd  attractive  exterior  for  your Â
v
ehicle.
guide-me-home lighting
After switching off the ignition, under low lighting conditions the headlamps remain  on  for  a  few  seconds  to  help  you  leave  the  vehicle.
Active City Brake
The purpose of this system is to avoid a frontal  collision  or  reduce  the  speed  of  impact Â
i
f the driver fails to react or does not react
sufficiently.

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine t
emporarily  on  standby  during Â
s
tops  in  the  traffic  (red  lights,  traffic Â
j
ams,  etc...).  The  engine  restarts Â
a
utomatically  as  soon  as  you  want Â
t
o  move  off.  The  Stop  &  Start  system Â
r
educes  fuel  consumption,  exhaust Â
e
missions  and  the  noise  level  when Â
s
tationary. 11 6
