GLOSSARY
e-HDi ENGINES
The e-HDi 90 Airdream ETG6 engine is capable of 74.3mpg and CO
of just 98g/km combined with the ETG6 gearbox. It has a reversible starter-
alternator that works in tandem with an e-booster to provide a seamless Stop &
Start function. Going further than other similar systems, the e-HDi's Stop & Start
puts the engine into idle mode while decelerating before coming to a complete
standstill. This reduces consumption by 15% in urban driving.
PETROL ENGINES
Part of Citroën's range of state-of-the-art engines, THP petrol powertrains are
friction optimised and benefit from an inlet camshaft variable valve timing
system that constantly measures the pressure on the accelerator and precisely
regulates the quantity of air entering the cylinders. VTi engines boast advanced
variable inlet valve lift and exhaust camshaft variable valve timing systems
whilst THP engines are turbocharged. This guarantees outstanding efficiency
and allows for immediate response with plenty of low range torque available.
PARK ASSIST
An advanced active parking aid, Park Assist finds a suitable space then smoothly
guides Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso into it. All you have to do is
engage reverse, accelerate and brake. Audible signals and a clear picture on the
12" panoramic screen let you know what's happening every inch of the way.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS)
The Lane Departure Warning System keeps you on course. It uses a miniature
camera integrated into the base of the rear view mirror to monitor when white
lines on the road have been crossed and sends vibrations through the driver's
seatbelt. It's like an extra pair of eyes, looking out for you on every journey.
PARK ASSIST 360
Park Assist 360 provides all-round vision from four cameras. It's perfect for
hassle-free parking manoeuvres in the tightest spots and further enhances the
automated Park Assist system.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
emissions This is computer-controlled traction assistance and is provided primarily through
2
the braking systems. The ESC's control unit constantly compares where the driver
intends going (through the position of the steering wheel) with where the vehicle
is actually going and, if necessary, makes speed corrections to each wheel
individually through braking or engine torque to keep the vehicle 'in line'.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM
This sophisticated safety system detects vehicles approaching from behind up to
three metres away. When they are in a place where you cannot easily see, Blind
Spot Monitor triggers an orange light that illuminates in the wing mirror on the
relevant side.
INTELLIGENT BEAM HEADLIGHTS
A miniature camera mounted in the base of the rear view mirror dips your
headlights when it senses an oncoming vehicle. As soon as the vehicle has safely
passed, it switches straight back to main beam.
ACTIVE SEATBELTS
Active seatbelts vibrate when the vehicle senses that you've accidently crossed the
white lines and for ESC and cruise control alerts. They also pre-tension if a collision
is anticipated.
