Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he   under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

mpairs   road   holding,   extends   braking  
d

istances   and   causes   premature  
t

yre   wear,   particularly   under   arduous  
c

ondition   (high   loading,   high   speed,  
lon

g
 jo
urney).The
  inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For
  more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  
c

orresponding
 s
ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.
The
  system   monitors   the   pressures   in   the   four  
t

yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   speed   sensors   with   reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres.

161
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance system   that   aims   to   avoid   a   frontal   collision  
o

r   reduce   the   speed   of   an   impact   if   the   driver  
d

oes   not   react   sufficiently   (inadequate   brake  
a

pplication). This
  system   is   designed   to   improve  
d

riving   safety.
It
  remains   the   driver's   responsibility   to  
c

ontinuously   monitor   the   state   of   the  
t

raffic   and   to   assess   the   distances   and  
r

elative   speeds   of   other   vehicles.
Active
  City   Brake   can   in   no  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
Never
  look   at   the   laser   sensor   through  
an o

ptical
 in
strument
 (
magnifying
 g
lass,
 m

icroscope...)   at   a   distance   of   less   than  
1

0   centimetres:   risk   of   eye   injury.Automatic
  braking   occurs   later   than   if  
d

one   by   the   driver,   so   as   to   intervene  
o

nly   when   there   is   a   high   risk   of  
c

ollision.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the windscreen,   this   system   detects   a   vehicle  
r

unning   in   the   same   direction   or   stationary  
a

head   of   your   vehicle.
When
  necessary,   the   vehicle's   braking   system  
i

s   operated   automatically   to   avoid   a   collision  
w

ith   the   vehicle   ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following conditions   are   met:
●
 
i
gnition   on,
●
 
t
he   vehicle   is   in   a   for ward   gear,
●
 
s
peed   is   between   about   3   and   18   mph  
(5
  and   30   km/h),
●
 
t
he   braking   assistance   systems   (ABS,  
E

BFD,   emergency   braking   assistance)   are  
n

ot faulty,
●
 
t
he   trajectory   control   systems   (ASR,   DSC)  
a

re   not   deactivated   or   faulty,
●
 
t

he   corresponding   section.
In the event of an impact
depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
  device   may   be   deployed  
b

efore   and   independently   of   the   airbags.  
D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
