Based on information from a camera,

the Stop and Go adaptive cruise con-

trol function gives you the option of

maintaining a selected speed, known

as the cruising speed, while keeping a

safe distance from the vehicle in front

in the same lane.

mum speed limit and safe distances

according to the legislation in the

country where they are driving;

– the Stop and Go adaptive cruise

control can brake the vehicle up to a

third of the braking capacity. Depend-

ing on the situation, the driver may

need to brake harder.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.

It can under no circum-

stances replace the

driver's responsibility to respect

speed limits and safe distances or

to be vigilant.

3

Depending on the vehicle, when the

"Road Sign Detection" function is acti-

vated ꢀ 228, the system can adapt the

speed of your vehicle according to the

speed limit signs recognized by the

camera.

The driver must always be in con-

trol of the vehicle.

The Stop and Go adaptive

cruise control does not trig-

ger an emergency stop and

its braking capability is limited.

The driver must always adapt

their speed according to the sur-

roundings and traffic conditions.

Use the adaptive cruise control

outside built-up areas, on wide

roads with visible lines.

The cruise control may have limit-

ed operation on very winding or

slippery roads (black ice, aqua-

planing, gravel) or during bad

weather (fog, rain, side winds,

etc.)

If the vehicle in front stops, the Stop

and Go adaptive cruise control may

brake your vehicle to a complete stop

before setting off again.

The system controls acceleration and

deceleration of your vehicle using the

engine and braking system.

The system's maximum range is ap-

proximately 140 metres. This may vary

according to the road conditions

(ground relief, weather conditions, etc.)

There is a risk of accidents.

The Stop and Go adaptive cruise con-

trol function can be activated from

0 km/h to 99 mph (0 to 160 km/h).

The function is indicated by the

STOP AND GO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

– arid zones, tunnels, long bridges or

lightly used roads without road lines,

without signs or trees nearby;

– Check Camera/Radar.

Consult an approved Dealer.

– a military or airport zone.

Limitations of system operation

You must leave such areas in order for

the function to work.

3

In all cases, if the message is not

erased after the engine is restarted,

please contact an authorised dealer.

Operating faults

If an operating fault is detected for the

"Stop and Go adaptive cruise control"

function, the "Check Adaptive Cruise

Control" message appears on the in-

strument panel and the "Stop and Go

adaptive cruise control" function is in-

terrupted.

The system cannot detect:

– vehicles arriving at intersections: slip

road (example H );

– vehicles driving on the wrong side of

the road or reversing towards you.

If an operating fault is detected on one

or more components of the system,

the "Stop and Go adaptive cruise con-

trol" function is interrupted.

Vehicle detection

The system detects only vehicles

(cars, trucks, motorbikes) that are

moving in the same direction as your

vehicle.

The adaptive cruise control

must only be used on a mo-

torway (or multi-lane road

separated by a barrier).

Depending on the type of malfunction,

the message is displayed on the in-

strument panel:

A vehicle moving into the same lane

(example G ) will be taken into account

by the system only once it has com-

pletely entered the camera detection

zones.

Detection during cornering

Detection of vehicles in adjacent

lanes

Vehicles hidden due to variations in

ground relief

When entering a corner or bend, the

camera may temporarily be unable to

detect the vehicle in front (example J ).

The system may detect vehicles dri-

ving on an adjacent lane when:

The system will not register vehicles

driving uphill or downhill when hidden

by terrain or when located outside the

camera's detection zones.

The system may trigger an accelera-

tion.

– you drive into a bend (example K );

– you are driving on a road with nar-

row lanes;

– the speed of the vehicle on the adja-

cent lane is slower and if one of these

vehicles is located too close to the

lane of the other.

Vehicles outside the camera detec-

tion zones

When exiting a bend, the system's de-

tection of the vehicle in front may be

disrupted or delayed.

The system will react late or not at

all if detected vehicles are outside the

camera detection zones, particularly in

the following situations:

The system may trigger abrupt or

delayed braking.

The system may incorrectly trigger

vehicle slowing or braking.

– vehicles transporting long objects

which exceed the line;

– vehicles insufficiently centred in the

lane;

– narrow vehicles which are very close

(example M).

Stationary and slow moving vehi-

cles

– preceding vehicles 14 that change

lane or discovering a slow or stationary

vehicle 15 (example P);

– stationary or slow vehicles 16 , when

you change lane (example Q).

When your speed is over approximate-

ly 31 mph (50 km/h), the system does

not detect:

– stationary vehicles (example N );

– very slow moving vehicles.

When your speed is less than approxi-

mately 31 mph (50 km/h), the system

may not react or may react very late

to:

– stationary vehicles (example N );

– very slow moving vehicles;

Non-detection of fixed obstacles

and objects of a small size

Detection of vehicles moving into

lane at high speed

Always be ready to take

control of your vehicle

when you come upon sta-

tionary or very slow-moving ve-

hicles (example N ).

The adaptive cruise control does

not trigger an emergency stop

and its braking capability is limit-

ed.

The system cannot detect:

If your vehicle is overtaken by another

vehicle driving at high speed 17 (mo-

torcycle, car, etc.) and the vehicle is

temporarily between you and the vehi-

cle in front 18 , the system may trig-

ger undue acceleration, slowing or

braking.

– pedestrians, bicycles, scooters,

shopping trolleys, caddies, etc.;

– animals;

– fixed obstacles (toll barriers, walls,

etc.) (example R ).

These are not taken into account by

the system.

They do not trigger any alert or reac-

tion by the system.

Driving - 249

STOP AND GO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Warning

This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to re-

spect speed limits and safe distances or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

3

The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indica-

tions. Except for lines delimiting lanes, traffic indicators (traffic lights, signs, pedestrian crossings etc.) are not recognised

by the system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected. Deac-

tivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried

out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if:

– the vehicle is travelling on a winding road;

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

– the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

– the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

– the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog, etc.);

– the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

– the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

– the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted.

250 - Driving

STOP AND GO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the system's operation, such as:

3

– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);

– poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);

– narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);

– a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

– use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver's side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-

fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that appear in the camera detec-

tion zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate acceleration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always keep your vehicle

under control by keeping your feet near the pedals, so that you are ready to act in any event.
