accompanied by an alert message and an

audible signal, this confirms the malfunction.

Have the system checked by a dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Activation/Deactivation

Pay particular attention:

– When motorcycles are present and

when there are vehicles staggered across the

traffic lane.

Active Lane Keeping

Assist

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

– When entering a tunnel or crossing a bridge.

If any of the following malfunctions

occurs, do not use the system:

– Following an impact on the windscreen close

to the camera or on the front bumper (versions

with radar).

►ꢀ With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &

Go function activated, press this button.

The action is confirmed by:

– Illumination of the indicator lamp in the button

in green.

– Display of the following symbol in the

instrument panel.

The colour of the symbol in the instrument panel

depends on the operating state of the system:

(grey colour)

– Brake lamps not working.

If the vehicle has undergone any of the

following modifications, do not use the

system:

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Towing.

– Front end of the vehicle modified (for

example by adding long-range headlamps or

painting the front bumper).

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen, the system identifies lane markings

and steers the vehicle inside this lane to keep it in

the lateral position chosen by the driver.

This function is primarily suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

At least one of the operating conditions is

not met; the system is paused.

(green colour)

All of the operating conditions are met; the

system is active.

Conditions for operation

– Adaptive Cruise Control active.

(orange colour)

– Traffic lane marked out by lines on both sides.

Driving

wheel, they must release the pressure to let the

system resume control of the steering, but the

vehicle will not be automatically centred within

the lane.

If the function is suspended due to the

prolonged release of the force holding the

steering wheel, you must reactivate it by

pressing the button again.

If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from

the system for a while, they can deactivate it by

pressing the button again.

The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the

symbol disappears from the instrument panel.

Pausing/Suspending the

system

Automatic pause

– Triggering of the ESC.

The state of the system stays in the

memory when the ignition is switched off.

– Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane

limit markings. In this case, the active lane

departure warning function can take over, and the

system will reactivate itself once the operating

conditions are again met.

The driver must act promptly if they

believe that the traffic conditions or the

state of the road surface require their

intervention, by moving the steering wheel to

temporarily suspend system operation. Any

action on the brake pedal that results in cruise

control being paused will also cause the

system to be paused.

Cruise control

The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.

When cruise control is activated, the symbol is

displayed in green: by small steering actions, the

system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the

position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.

This position is not necessarily the centre of the

lane.

In response to action by the driver: suspension

– Activation of the direction indicators.

– Travelling outside the lane limits.

– Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or

dynamic action on the steering wheel.

– Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause

until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator

pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is

depressed).

If the system detects that the driver is not

holding the wheel firmly enough, it

triggers a series of gradual alerts and then

deactivates itself if there is no response from

the driver.

The driver can feel movements in the steering

wheel.

The driver can change the position of the vehicle

at any time, by turning the steering wheel. When

the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is

appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the steering

– Pausing of the cruise control.

– Deactivation of the ASR.
