Driving
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.
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.
With the Stop function, the system manages
the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
Drive Assist Plus
6
Only available on versions with electric
automatic gearbox (Hybrid).
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.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to
the corresponding sections.
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
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
With the Stop & Go function, the system
manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle
is slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
Steering mounted control
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
inappropriate management of acceleration or
braking.
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
bumper.
1. ON (CRUISE position) / OFF (position0)
2. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed / decrease speed setting
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.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
