SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (3/3)

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been saved, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 3 ((R)).

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is sus-

pended when you press switch 4 (O).

In this case, the speed limit remains

stored and the message “Memorised”

accompanied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The orange



warning light and message on the

instrument panel goes out to confirm

that the function is deactivated.

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing side a (+) on

the switch 2 reactivates the func-

tion without taking into account

the stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

2.65

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (1/4)

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

that you choose, called the cruising

speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any

speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. However,

the function does not take

the place of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake). Cruise control

must not be used in heavy traffic, on

undulating or slippery roads (black

ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during

bad weather (fog, rain, side winds

etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Controls for:

a cruising speed activation, storage

and increase (+);

b decreasing cruising speed (-).
3 Activation with recall of saved cruis-

ing speed (R).

4 Switch the function to standby (with

cruising speed saved) (O).

2.66

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (2/4)

Driving

Once a cruising speed is memorised

and the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Please note that you are

strongly advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react in an emer-

gency.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above approx.

20 mph (30 km/h)), press the switch 2

on side a (+): the function is activated

and the current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and cruise control is confirmed by the

appearance of the message “Check

cruise control” and the warning light



If you try to activate the function below

20 mph (30 km/h), the message “Invalid

speed” will be displayed and the func-

tion will remain inactive.

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side



Indicator light



comes on, lit green,

and the message “Check cruise con-

trol” appears on the instrument panel,

accompanied by dashes to indicate that

the cruise control function is activated

and waiting to store a cruising speed.

2.67

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (3/4)

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal. While overtaking, the cruis-

ing speed flashes red on the instrument

panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

cally return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be

maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradi-

ent, the system is unable to maintain

the cruising speed: the stored speed is

flashes red on the instrument panel to

inform you of this situation.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed can be changed by

pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

2.68

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (4/4)

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The green



warning light and message on the

instrument panel goes out to confirm

that the function is deactivated.

Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road con-

ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-

face, weather conditions, etc.). Press

switch 3 (R) if the vehicle speed is

above 20 mph (30 km/h).

When the stored speed is recalled,

activation of the cruise control is con-

firmed by the illumination of the cruis-

ing speed in green, along with the mes-

sage “Check cruise control”.
NB: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control function

is put on standby, pressing the

switch 2 on side a (+) reactivates

the cruise control function with-

out taking into account the stored

speed: it is the speed at which the

vehicle is moving that is taken into

account.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– use the switch 4 (O);

– the brake pedal;

– depress the clutch pedal or the shift

into neutral if the vehicle has an au-

tomatic gearbox.

In these three cases, the cruising

speed remains stored and the mes-

sage “Memorised” accompanied by this

speed appears on the instrument panel.

Standby is confirmed by the display of

the cruising speed in grey and the mes-

sage “Memorised”.

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching it

off does not cause a rapid

reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake

pedal.

2.69

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(1/8)

The adaptive cruise control is a func-

tion which gives you the option, when

traffic conditions permit (large free-flow-

ing road or motorway), of maintaining

a chosen speed, known as the cruising

speed, while keeping a safe distance

from the vehicle in front in the same

lane.
The function can be adjusted from

31 mph (50 km/h) to 99.2 mph

(160 km/h).
The radar-camera has a range of

around 120 metres.
Note:

– the driver should take account of the

maximum legally permissible speed

in the country where the vehicle is

travelling;

– the adaptive cruise control can brake

the vehicle up to a third of the brak-

ing capacity. Depending on the situ-

ation, the driver may need to brake

harder.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.
Therefore, it can under no

circumstances replace the

driver’s responsibility to respect

speed limits and to be vigilant (the

driver must always be ready to

brake).
The adaptive cruise control should

not be used in heavy traffic, on

winding or slippery roads (black ice,

aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad

weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Location of the radar-

camera 1

Make sure the windscreen is not ob-

scured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation

etc.).

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.

2.70

The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and cruise control is confirmed by the

appearance of the message “Adaptive

cruise ctrl” and the warning light

2.71

Driving

Once a cruising speed is memorised

and the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.
If a following distance is stored and a

vehicle travelling slower than yours is

detected by the system in your lane,

your vehicle will brake (with the brake

lights on) and adapt its speed to that of

the vehicle in front, respecting the fol-

lowing distance selected previously.

Overtaking
If your speed is lower than the cruise

control and you wish to perform an

overtaking manoeuvre, activating the

direction indicator will provide acceler-

ation enabling the overtaking manoeu-

vre.

Please note that you must

keep your feet close to the

pedals in order to react in

an emergency.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(3/8)

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed can be changed by

pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.

Varying the following

distance

You can vary the following distance

from the vehicle in front at any time by

pressing switch 6 repeatedly.
Horizontal following bars will be dis-

played on the instrument panel, indicat-

ing the following distance selected:

– one bar for a short distance (cor-

responding to a following time of

around one second);

– two bars for a medium distance;

– three bars for a long distance (cor-

responding to a following time of

around two seconds).

Choosing the distance should depend

on the traffic, the laws in your country,

and on the weather conditions.
If a vehicle is detected by the system in

your lane, an outline A of a vehicle will

appear above the following bars.

2.72

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(4/8)

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal.

When exceeding this speed, the cruis-

ing speed and the following bars show

red and the cruising speed flashes on

the instrument panel: the distance con-

trol function is no longer activated.

Then, release the accelerator: cruise

and distance control will automatically

reactivate unless the function has been

set to standby.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if:
–  you press switch 4 (O);
–  you depress the brake pedal;
–  you depress the clutch pedal;
–  you use the gear lever;
–  the engine speed is too low or too

high;

– the vehicle speed is lower than

24.8 mph (40 km/h) or over

105.4 mph (170 km/h);

– certain driver correction devices and

aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)

In the latter three cases, the message

“Adaptive cruise ct disconnected” is

displayed on the instrument panel when

the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of

the cruising speed in grey and the mes-

sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.

Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road con-

ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-

face, weather conditions, etc.). Press

switch 3 (R) if the vehicle speed is

above around 31 mph (50 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,

activation of the cruise control is con-

firmed by the illumination of the cruis-

ing speed in green, along with the mes-

sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control is set to

standby, pressing switch 2, side a (+),

reactivates the cruise control function

without taking into account the stored

speed: it is the speed at which the vehi-

cle is moving that is taken into account.
Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate to reach this

threshold.

2.73

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(5/8)

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching it

off does not cause a rapid

reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake

pedal.

Please note that you must

keep your feet close to the

pedals in order to react in

an emergency.

Under certain conditions (coming up

behind a vehicle moving more slowly,

rapid change of lane of vehicles in front

etc.), the system may not have time to

respond and may emit a beep along-

side the alert A when the situation re-

quires the driver’s attention, or the

alert B when the situation requires im-

mediate action from the driver.
React accordingly and perform the ap-

propriate manoeuvres.

2.74

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is stopped if

you press switch 5 on the



side; in

this case a speed is no longer stored.

The green



indicator light and the

message “Adaptive cruise ctrl” on the

instrument panel go out to confirm that

the function is deactivated.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(6/8)

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating

fault the message “Check cruise con-

trol” appears on the instrument panel.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted

(for example: radar obscured by dirt,

mud, snow etc.). In this case, park

the vehicle and switch off the engine.

Clean the detection zone of the ra-

dar-camera. When you next start

the engine, the warning light and the

message go out;

– otherwise, this may be caused by

another fault. Consult an approved

dealer

2.75

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(7/8)

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care

and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.

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

System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

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

ried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– traffic is heavy;

– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;

– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an Authorised

Dealer);

– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditions (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).

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

2.76

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(8/8)

Limitation of the system operation

– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

– The radar-camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a small size (motor-

bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.

– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entered the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may

then take place.

– When entering a bend or curve, the radar-camera may temporarily no longer detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead

to acceleration.

– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take

place.

– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav-

elling too close to the lane of the other.

– A slower vehicle with a wide difference in speed may not be taken into account by the system.

– The system is deactivated below around 31 mph (50 km/h). Drivers must react accordingly.

– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and

under all circumstances.

System disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.) ;

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

– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

– poor contrast between objects;

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.).
Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

2.77

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(1/5)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by

beeps which become more frequent the

closer you come to the obstacle, until

they become a continuous beep when

the vehicle is approximately 20 to

30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the

front, the rear and the sides of the ve-

hicle.
The parking distance control system

is only activated when the vehicle is

driven at a speed below approximately

6 mph (10 km/h).

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out

for sudden hazards during driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no moving obstacles (such as a

child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)

or small, narrow objects such as

stones or posts in your path when

manoeuvring.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by

dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

2.78

Operation

Most objects located less near the

front, rear and sides of the vehicle are

detected.
Depending on the distance of the ob-

stacle, the frequency of the beep will

be higher while approaching it, and will

become a solid beep around 20 cm for

obstacles to the sides, and 30 cm for

obstacles to the front or rear. Green,

orange and red zones will be displayed

on the display C.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(2/5)

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle

surroundings and emits beeps.
It is necessary to travel a few metres

before the side detection is activated.
If all areas have a grey background, the

whole area around the vehicle is being

monitored:
– A: analysis of the vehicle surround-

ings in progress;

– B: analysis of the vehicle surround-

ings carried out

2.79

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved dealer.

Detection of obstacles to the side
Depending on the direction of the

wheels, the system determines the tra-

jectory of the vehicle and notifies the

driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-

lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of

the vehicle.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(3/5)

If a side obstacle is detected:
– the beeps become faster and then

sound continuously as the obstacle

gets nearer. Green, orange and red

zones will be displayed on the dis-

play D;

– if there is no risk of collision, no beep

will sound when approaching the ob-

stacle. Green, orange and red zones

will be displayed interspersed on the

display D.

Note: in the event of a change in tra-

jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of

collision with an obstacles may be sig-

nalled late.
