Memorising speeds function

Refer to the General recommendations

on the use of driving and

manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control

- particular recommendations.

Some vehicles present on the road may

not be properly seen or may be

misinterpreted by the radar (e.g. a lorry),

which may lead to a poor assessment of

distance and lead to the vehicle accelerating

or braking inappropriately.

Use the speed suggested by the Road signs

recognition function (MEM display)

6. Display and adjustment of the distance

setting to the vehicle in front

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 controls the vehicle's

acceleration and deceleration automatically

using only engine braking (as if the driver had

pressed the "-" minus button).

Use

Steering-mounted controls

Activating the system (paused)

The adaptive cruise control must be selected in

the "Driving/Vehicle" menu.

► Turn the knob 1 downwards into the CRUISE

position with the engine running. The cruise

control is ready for operation.

Starting cruise control and selecting a

speed

The vehicle speed must be between 25 and

93 mph (40 and 150 km/h).

With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear or

higher must be engaged.

With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second

gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.

With a drive selector, mode D or B must be

engaged.

To do this, it uses a radar located in the front

bumper.

3. Activation of cruise control at the current

speed/increase speed setting

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

4. Pause/resume cruise control with the speed

setting previously saved

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

paused, the message "Activation not possible,

unsuitable conditions" is brieﬂy displayed if

reactivation is not possible (safety conditions

not met).

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

► Press buttons 2-SET- or 3-SET+: the current

speed becomes the speed setting (minimum

25 mph (40 km/h)) and the cruise control is

immediately activated.

► Press 3 to increase or 2 to decrease the

speed setting (in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h) if the

button is kept depressed).

Using the Road signs recognition function

or speed limit sign memorisation to

modify the speed setting.

► Press 5-MEM to accept the speed setting

proposed by the system on the instrument panel

or touch screen, then press again to conﬁrm.

Pressing and holding either button

2-SET- or 3-SET+ results in a rapid

change in the speed of the vehicle.

To prevent any sudden acceleration or

deceleration of the vehicle, select a

speed setting fairly close to the current speed

of your vehicle.

Head-up display

Pausing/resuming cruise control

► Press 4-II 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-II to restart cruise control. Cruise

control may have been paused automatically:

• When the inter-vehicle distance threshold is

reached.

Changing the inter-vehicle distance

► Press 6 to display the distance setting

thresholds ("Distant", "Normal" or "Close"), then

press again to select a threshold.

After a few seconds, the option is accepted and

will be memorised when the ignition is switched

oﬀ.

Temporarily exceeding the speed setting

• When the distance between your vehicle and

the one in front becomes too short.

• When the vehicle starts moving too slowly or

the vehicle in front starts moving too slowly.

• When the ESC system is triggered.

or vehicle speed adjustment phase.

9. Speed setting value.

► Depress the accelerator pedal. Distance

monitoring and cruise control are deactivated as

long as you continue to accelerate. The speed

on the instrument panel ﬂashes.

Deactivating the system

cruise control, after the function has been

► Turn the knob 1 upwards into position 0

(OFF).

Driving

For more information on the Head-up

display, refer to the corresponding

section.

Above this, the system pauses itself if the safety

distance becomes too short.

The adaptive cruise control uses only engine

braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the

vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing

the accelerator pedal.

Messages and alerts

– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.

The system is paused automatically:

– if the vehicle in front slows down too much or

too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,

– if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and

the vehicle in front,

– if the system does not slow the vehicle enough

to continue to maintain a safe distance, for

example when descending a steep hill.

Cases of non-detection by the radar:

– Stationary vehicles (traﬃc jam, breakdown,

etc.).

The display of these messages or alerts

is not sequential.

“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control

suspended” following a brief acceleration

by the driver.

“Cruise control active”, no vehicle

detected.

“Cruise control active”, vehicle detected.

– Vehicles entering a corner.

– Vehicles changing lane at the last moment.

Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.

Cases where the driver is urged to take back

control immediately:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

“Cruise control active and speed

adjusted”, vehicle detected too close or at

a slower speed.

“Cruise control active and speed

adjusted”, automatic deactivation

imminent following a cruise control limit being

reached.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

When the driver must suspend the cruise

control system:

– Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle

in front of you.

“Cruise control paused”, automatic

deactivation following speed limit

adjustment being exceeded and no reaction from

the driver.

The adaptive cruise control operates by

day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.

– When following a narrow vehicle.

The system does not act on the braking

system, but works only with engine

braking.

The regulation range is limited: there will

no longer be any adjustment of speed if the

diﬀerence between the programmed speed

Operating limits

The regulation range is limited to a maximum

diﬀerence of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the

cruise speed setting and the speed of the

vehicle in front.
