Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,  
i

n   particular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
v

ery   firmly   without   releasing   the  
p

ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together   with   the   STOP and ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible
 
signal   and   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   electronic   brake  
f

orce distribution which could result in loss of
control
 
of
  the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
  replacing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims),   ensure   that   they   conform   to   the  
ma

nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes   on,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   anti-lock   braking  
s

ystem
 
which   could   result   in   loss   of   control   of  
t

he
 
vehicle   when   braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w
orkshop.

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
relative
  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
only
  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   vehicle   is   not   in   a   tight   corner,
●
 
t
he   system   has   not   been   triggered   during  
t

he   previous   10   seconds.
