Active City Brake
brakes if driving behind a vehicle that slows
d own rapidly, stops or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a
collision or reduce
the speed of impact.
This system has been designed to improve
driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the relative distance and speed of
other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a


collision. If operation is triggered:

A sticker on the inner face of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the filler cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing
of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
