Active Suspension Control

This suspension can control the damping according to
the following parameters: state and profile of the road,
load of the vehicle, driving style and selected driving
mode.
It offers three modes: Comfort, Normal and Sport.
In Comfort mode, it favours softened damping to
improve comfort, especially on poor road surfaces.
In Normal mode, it offers the best compromise between
comfort and handling.
In Sport mode, it favours firm damping to limit body
movements.
The mode can be selected using the driving modes
control on the central console.

DRIVING AIDS

The driving aid systems are convenience aids that
do not replace the need to respect speed limits
and safety distances nor the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Therefore, the driver must be ready at all times to
maintain control of their vehicle by permanently
holding the steering wheel with both hands and
keeping their feet near the brake and accelerator
pedals.
The operation of these systems may be impaired
by bad weather or a driving surface in poor
condition.
Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency braking assistance
Distance Alert: it warns the driver if their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front, or a pedestrian
or a cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance: it
supplements the braking action taken by the driver if
this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following the alert if
the driver does not react quickly enough and does not
operate the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes towards
avoiding a collision or limiting its severity by
reducing the speed of the vehicle.
