Operation
Example:
- Y ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
With an ETG electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
With the PureTech 82 engine, the
system only suggests when to
change
up.

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).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 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
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15
and 140 km/h) for triggering the alert ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 9
mph (15 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 18 and 50 mph
(30 and 80 km/h) for braking assistance ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 18 mph (30 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 6 and 50 mph
(10 and 80 km/h) for automatic braking ;
the 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,
EBFD, EBA) are not faulty,
●

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

t
he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●

t
he system has not been triggered during
the previous 10 seconds.

Lateral airbags
Deployment
They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel indicates a fault
with the airbags.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child seat or seat
an adult on the front passenger seat.
The lateral airbags may also be
deployed during certain front impacts.
