Electronic key: Keyless
Entry and Starting
This system allows the locking, unlocking and
starting the vehicle by keeping the key on your
person and in the recognition zone.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily
into standby during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts
automatically as soon as you want to move
off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise
level when stationary.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the tyre
pressures when driving and alerts you in the
event of an under-inflated tyre.
Active City Brake
The aim of this system is to avoid a frontal
collision or reduce the speed of impact if the
driver fails to react or reacts too late.
Lane departure warning
system
This system gives a warning if you inadvertently
cross a longitudinal road marking. 108
