Driving

Operation of the cruise control can also be

paused temporarily:

►ꢀ Press button 5 again to save the suggested

speed.

This system is especially suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

– by pressing the brake pedal.

– automatically, if the electronic stability

control (ESC) system is triggered.

The speed is immediately shown on the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

For more information on Adaptive Cruise

Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to the

corresponding sections.

Switching off

The system assists the driver by acting on

the steering, acceleration and braking,

within the limits of the laws of physics and the

capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road

infrastructure elements or vehicles present on

the road may not be properly seen or may be

poorly interpreted by the camera and radar,

resulting in an unexpected change in direction,

a lack of steering correction and/or

►ꢀ Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:

the cruise control information disappears from

the screen.

Modifying the cruise speed

setting

Cruise control must be active.

Malfunction

To modify the cruise speed setting, based on the

current speed of the vehicle:

►ꢀ Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value

in steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h).

►ꢀ Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the

value in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).

inappropriate management of acceleration or

braking.

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)

indicates a malfunction with the cruise control

system.

Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results

in a rapid change in the speed of the

vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Refer to the General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise

control - particular recommendations.

This system automatically maintains the speed

of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed

setting), while keeping a safe distance from the

vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has

been set beforehand by the driver. The system

automatically manages the acceleration and

deceleration of the vehicle.

As a precaution, we recommend setting a

cruise speed fairly close to the current

speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden

acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

DS DRIVE ASSIST

Only available on versions with automatic

gearbox.

This system automatically adjusts the speed and

corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise

Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction

with the Lane Positioning Assist.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

To modify the cruise speed setting using the

speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition

and Recommendation shown on the instrument

panel:

►ꢀ Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to

confirm the memorisation request.

With the Stop function, the system manages the

braking until the vehicle comes to a complete

stop.

126

Driving

With the Stop & Go function, the system manages

the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete

stop and the restarting of the vehicle.

Switching on cruise control and setting the

speed

Steering mounted control

With a manual gearbox, your speed must be

between 19 and 112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).

With an automatic EAT6 gearbox, your speed

must be between 1 and 112 mph (2 and 180 km/h).

With an automatic EAT8 gearbox, your speed

must be between 0 and 112 mph (0 and 180 km/h).

►ꢀ Press button 2 or 3: the current speed

becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph

(30 km/h)) and cruise control is immediately

activated (green display).

To do so, it has a camera located at the top of the

windscreen and, depending on version, a radar

located in the front bumper.

5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed Limit

Recognition and Recommendation (MEM

display)

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the same

direction as your vehicle.

►ꢀ Press 3 to increase or 2 to decrease the speed

setting (steps of 5 mph (km/h) if held pressed).

Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results

in a rapid change in the speed of the

vehicle.

If the driver operates a direction indicator

to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise

control allows the vehicle to temporarily

approach the vehicle in front to assist the

overtaking manoeuvre, without ever exceeding

the speed setting.

Pausing / resumption of cruise control

►ꢀ Press 4 or depress the brake pedal. To pause

cruise control, it is also possible to:

• shift from mode D to N;

• depress the clutch pedal for more than 10

seconds;

• press the electric parking brake control.

►ꢀ Press 4 to restart cruise control. Cruise control

may have been paused automatically:

• when the speed of the vehicle goes below 19

mph (30 km/h) with a manual gearbox.

• when the speed of the engine goes below 1100

rpm with a manual gearbox.

Some vehicles present on the road may

not be properly seen or may be poorly

interpreted by the camera and/or radar (e.g. a

lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment of

the distances and lead to the vehicle

Driving

With an EAT6 gearbox, following braking that

has brought the vehicle to a complete stop,

the system holds the vehicle stationary; cruise

control is paused. The driver should depress the

accelerator pedal to move off, then, when above 1

mph (2 km/h), reactivate the system by pressing

one of the buttons 2, 3 or 4.

With an EAT8 gearbox, following braking that

has brought the vehicle to a complete stop, if the

traffic conditions do not allow the vehicle to begin

moving again within 3 seconds of stopping, press

button 4 or the accelerator pedal to move off.

If the driver takes no action after the vehicle

has been stopped, the electric parking brake is

applied automatically after about 5 minutes.
