Active City Brake
Active City B rake  i s  a  d riving  a ssistance  s ystem  t
hat   aims   to   avoid   a   frontal   collision   or   reduce  
t

he   speed   of   an   impact   if   the   driver   does   not  
r

eact   or   reacts   too   late   (brake   application   too  
l

ate). 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  
r

elative   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  
a

n   optical   instrument   (magnifying   glass,  
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  
o

nly   when   there   is   a   high   risk   of  
c

ollision.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  
s

tationary   ahead   of   your   vehicle.
When
  necessary,   the   vehicle's   braking   system  
i

s   operated   automatically   to   reduce   the   speed  
o

f   impact   or   to   help   avoid   a   collision   with   the  
v

ehicle
 a
head.

w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps, courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   duration   of  
t

wenty minutes.
This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if   the   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
Let
  the   engine   run   for   the   duration  
s
