Citroen C3: Driving / Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert
and Intelligent emergency braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system:
- warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian.
- reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
- Collision Risk Alert.
- Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid
the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the
driving regulations.
As soon as the system
detects a
potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed
If needed (when overtaking, for example) it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal...
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the Driving/Vehicle of the
touch screen...
Other information:
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
The snow chains must be
fitted only to
the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the
legislation specific to
each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed...
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive
products or
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts...
