Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
th
is system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain conditions of slope are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
th

e hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.

electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (
e

BFD)
these systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
traction control (tR C)
this system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Illimination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,

Normal operation of the ABS may make

these systems are activated automatically

As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes. Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.

Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance system
that aims to avoid a frontal collision or reduce
the speed of an impact if the driver does not
react or reacts too late (brake application too
late).
th
is system is 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 can in no
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.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to intervene
only when there is a high risk of
collision.Principle
using a laser sensor and a camera located at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle running 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.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following
conditions are met:
●
t
he engine is running,
●

t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●

t
o trigger the pre-collision alert :
-

t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15 and 140 km/h),
-

t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 9 mph (15 km/h),
●

f
or braking assistance :
-

t
he speed is between about 18 and
50
mph (30 and 80 km/h),
-

he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 18 mph (30 km/h),
●

or automatic pre-collision braking:
-

t
he speed is between about 6 and
50
mph (10 and 80 km/h),
-

t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 6 mph (10 km/h),
●

t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
eB

FD, e

●

t
he trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
●

t

●

t

the previous 10 seconds.

operation
three levels of operation are possible:
● P re-collision alert : if a risk of collision
with a vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel together
with an audible signal to encourage the
driver to make an avoiding manoeuvre.
t
h
e
thresholds for triggering the alert can be
set.
●

Br
aking assistance : increases the
braking started by the driver, only if a risk
of collision is detected.
●

A
utomatic pre-collision braking: when
your vehicle is too close to or closing
too quickly on the vehicle ahead of you,
the system automatically operates the
brakes to reduce the speed of impact. A
collision can be avoided automatically if the
difference in speed between your vehicle
and the one ahead is not more than 18 mph
(30 km/h).
You are then alerted by the display of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal.th e automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
th

e brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users.
th

e triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.

wheels. Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
