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sufciently(inadequatebrake
application).
Thissystemisdesignedto
improvedrivingsafety.
Itremainsthedriver'sresponsibilityto
continuouslymonitorthestateofthe
trafcandtoassessthedistancesand
relativespeedsofothervehicle.
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.
Principle
Using a laser sensor 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 avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.
Automaticbrakingoccurslater
than if done by the driver, so as
to intervene only when there is a
highriskofcollision.

ActiveCityBrakeonlyoperatesifthe
followingconditionsaremet:
● ignitionon,
