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

  sufficiently   (inadequate   brake  
application).
This

  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   vehicle.
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.Principle
Using a laser sensor 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 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.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following  conditions   are   met:
●
 
ignition
  on,
●
 
the
  vehicle   is   in   a   forward   gear,
●
 
speed
  is   between   about   3   and  
18 mph

  (5   and   30   km/h),
●
 
the
  braking   assistance   systems  
(ABS,

  EBFD,   emergency   braking  
assistance) are not faulty

,
●
 
the
  trajectory   control   systems  
(

a SR, d SC) are not deactivated or
faulty,
●
 
the
  vehicle   is   not   in   a   tight   corner,
●
 
the
  system   has   not   been   triggered  
during

  the   previous   10   seconds.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly  the   system   automatically  
applies

  the   brakes   to   avoid   a   collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come  
on

  to   warn   other   road   users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
  if   the   difference   in  
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle

  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph  
(15 km/h).
Above

  this   threshold,   the   system   will  
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The

  automatic   braking   may   bring  
the

  vehicle   to   a   complete   stop   if   the  
situation

  requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
  temporarily   (for   about  
1.5 seconds)

  to   allow   the   driver   to   take  
back

  control   by   pressing   the   brake  
pedal. The

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

  automatic   braking,   the  
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled

  by   the   system,   by   pressing  
firmly

  on   the   brake   pedal.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
automatically

  put   out   of   service:   it  
no

  longer   operates.
You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop   to   have   the   system  
made

  operational   again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are  stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
direction

  as   your   vehicle.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(bicycles,

  motorcycles),  
pedestrians

  or   animals,   nor   non-
reflective
  stationary   objects.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is  
interrupted

  if   the   driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly

  (avoiding   manoeuvre).
In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
heavy

  rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),  
braking

  distances   increase,   which  
can

  reduce   the   ability   of   the   system   to  
avoid

  a   collision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
particularly

  vigilant.
Never
  leave   accumulations   of  
snow

  or   any   object   projecting  
above the bonnet or in front of
the

  roof:   this   might   fall   into   the   field   of  
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide  the   assembly   on   the   driver's   seat  
side and on the individual passenger
seat

  side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into  the   buckle.
Check
  that   the   seat   belt   is   fastened  
correctly

  by   pulling   the   strap.
Seat belt(s) not fastened
warning lamp Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this
  warning   lamp   comes   on  
if a user at the front has not
fastened

  their   seat   belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely  before   moving   off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
  for   short   journeys.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia  
reel

  which   automatically   adjusts   the  
length

  of   the   strap   to   your   size.
d

o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
  safety   pins,   etc.)   which   allow   the  
seat

  belt   straps   to   fit   loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
  after   use.
After
  folding   or   moving   a   seat   or   a   rear  
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle

  is   ready   to   accommodate   the  
tongue.
d

epending on the nature and
seriousness
  of   any   impact,   the  
pretensioning

  device   may   be   deployed  
before

  and   independently   of   inflation  
of

  the   airbags.   It   instantly   tightens  
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment

  of   the   pretensioners   is  
accompanied

  by   a   slight   discharge  
of

  harmless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge

  incorporated   in   the   system.
The
 
front
 
passenger's
 
seat
 
may
 
be
 
fitted

 
with

 
a

 
presence

 
detector

,
 
in

 
which

 
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the

 
alert.

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or

  shorter   than   one   metre   fifty,
-

never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For

  more   information   on   child  
seats, refer to the "Children on
board"

  section   of   chapter   5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITR
o Ë n
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
  all   work   or   any   checks,   from  
testing

  to   maintenance,   on   your   seat  
belt

  equipment.
Have
  the   seat   belts   checked   regularly  
(even

  after   a   minor   impact)   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop:

  they   must   not   show   any  
signs of wear

, cutting or fraying
and
  they   must   not   be   converted   or  
modified.
The

 
force
 
limiter
 
reduces
 
the
 
pressure
 of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.

AIRBAGS
General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise  the   safety   of   the   occupants  
in the event of a serious collision;
they

  work   in   conjunction   with   the   force  
limiting

  seat   belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the
  front   and   side   impacts   suffered   in  the
  impact   detection   zones:
-
 
in
  the   event   of   a   serious   impact,  
the

  airbags   inflate   instantly   and  
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately

  after   the   impact,   the  
airbags

  deflate   rapidly,   so   that   they  
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from

  the   vehicle.-
 
in
  the   event   of   a   minor   or   rear  impact
  and   in   certain   roll-over  conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient
  to   contribute   towards   your  
protection

  in   these   situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment
  of   impact.
