BLIND SPOT WARNING

(3/4)

Operation

This function will indicate:
– when the vehicle speed is between

approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) and

140 km/h (87 mph);

– when another vehicle is in the blind

spot area and travelling in the same

direction as your vehicle.

If another vehicle is being overtaken,

the indicator 6 will be activated only if

that vehicle remains in the blind spot for

more than one second.

Display B

The function is activated and has not

detected any vehicles.

Display C

First warning: the indicator 4 means

that a vehicle has been detected in the

blind spot.

Display D

When the direction indicator is activa-

ted, the indicator light 6 flashes when a

vehicle is detected in the blind spot on

the side towards which you are about to

steer. If you cancel the direction indica-

tor, the function will return to the initial

warning (display C).

Note: the system’s detection range

operates according to a standard

lane width. If you are driving in

narrow traffic lanes, it may detect

vehicles in other lanes.

Indicator 6

An indicator light 6 is situated on both

door mirrors 7.
Note: clean the door mirrors 7 regularly

so that the indicators 6 can be seen.

2.46

Operating faults

If the system detects a fault, the mes-

sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-

played on the instrument panel. Call an

approved Dealer.
Note: when the engine is started, the

indicator light 6, display B, flashes

three times. It is normal.

– The system’s detection

range operates according

to a standard lane width. If

you are driving in wide traf-

fic lanes, the system might not

be able to detect a vehicle in the

blind spot.

– The system might be disrupted

momentarily if it is exposed to

strong electromagnetic waves

(as beneath high-tension power

lines) or to very poor weather

conditions (heavy rain, snow

etc.). Remain aware of driving

conditions.

There is a risk of accidents.

Because sensors have

been installed in the bum-

pers, any work (repairs, re-

placements, touching up of

paintwork) must be carried out by a

qualified professional.

Conditions for non-function

–  If the object is not moving;
–  if traffic is heavy;
–  the road is winding;
–  if front and rear sensors both detect

objects at the same time (e.g. when

passing an articulated lorry).

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT

(1/2)

Activating/deactivating the

function

From the multifunction screen 2, select

menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,

“Distance warning” then choose “ON”

or “OFF”.

Using the sensor 1, this function noti-

fies the driver about the time interval

separating them from the vehicle in

front, so they can respect a safe dis-

tance between the two vehicles.
Note: make sure that the sensor 1 is

not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
The function is activated when the vehi-

cle speed is between about 18.6 and

124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-

tion maintains the same status that was

active when the engine was last stop-

ped.

You can access menu “Driving as-

sistance” directly from button 3



This function is an additio-

nal driving aid. However,

this function is not under

any circumstances in-

tended to replace the due care and

attention of the driver, who should at

all times be in control of the vehicle.

2.48

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT

(2/2)

The measurement is dis-

played for information

purposes: the system does

not carry out any action on

the vehicle.

This function is not designed for use

in urban conditions or for a dynamic

driving style (sudden cornering, ac-

celeration, braking etc.).

The function does not interact with

the braking system.

The sensor area should be kept

clean and free of any modifications

to ensure the proper operation of

the system.

Any work in the area where the

radar is located (repairs, replace-

ments, touching up of paintwork)

must be carried out by a qualified

professional.

– C (orange): the time interval falls

between around 1 and 2 seconds (in-

sufficient distance between the two

vehicles);

– D (red): the time interval is less than

or equal to around one second (very

insufficient distance between the two

vehicles).

If the interval between the two vehicles

is less than around 0.5 seconds, war-

ning light 4 will flash on the instrument

panel. Under certain conditions, the

time interval may not be displayed:

– while cornering;

– when changing lane;

– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far

or outside the range of the sensor.

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.

Operation

Upon activating the function, indicator 4

notifies the driver of the distance sepa-

rating them from the vehicle in front.
–  A (grey): function not operational;
–  A (green): no vehicle detected;
–  B (green): the time interval is greater

than or equal to around two seconds

(distance between the two vehicles

adapted to your speed);

This function is essential if adaptive

cruise control is activated.

2.49

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function

(1/3)

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side



. The indica-

tor light



comes on, lit orange, and

the message “Speed limiter” appears

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by dashes to indicate that the speed

limiter function is activated and waiting

to store a limited speed.

To store the current speed, press

switch 2 side a (+): the limited speed

replaces the dashes.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

Controls

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

a speed limiter activation, memory

and increase (+);

b decreasing the speed limiter (-).
3 Activation and recall of memorised

limited speed (R).

4 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

The speed limiter function helps you

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

If you wish, you can associate the

speed limiter and the “Overspeed

alert” function (please refer to the in-

formation on the “Overspeed alert”

in Section 2).

2.50

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function

(2/3)

Varying the limit speed

The speed limiter can be changed by

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

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal

will allow you to exceed the program-

med speed except in an emergency

(refer to information on “Exceeding the

limit speed”).

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the bra-

king system.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any time. To do this: press the acce-

lerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond

the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the

programmed speed displayed on the

instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the

speed limiter function will return as

soon as you reach a speed lower than

the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limit speed: the memorised speed will

flash on the instrument panel and an

audible signal sounds at regular inter-

vals to inform you of this situation.

2.51

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: 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 limit speed remains

stored and the message "Memorised»

accompanied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deac-

tivated if you press switch 1: in this

case a speed is no longer stored. The

orange instrument panel warning light



goes out, confirming that the func-

tion is stopped.

a 3

When the speed limiter is set to

standby, pressing on the side a (+)

of the switch 2 reactivates the func-

tion without taking into account the

memorised speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

2.52

OVERSPEED ALERT

(1/3)

The overspeed alert with signage panel

recognition notifies the driver that they

are exceeding the speed limit for the

section of road on which they are cur-

rently travelling.

Special situations

– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-

try where the speed units differ from

those of the vehicle, the system dis-

plays the speed limit sign in the unit

of the country, alongside the speed

limit converted to the unit used by the

vehicle’s instrument panel.

– For countries where the speed limit

is reduced during rainy weather on

some types of roads, the system can

modify the limited speed after a few

seconds of wiping the windscreen.

– The system does not take into ac-

count exceptional speed limit meas-

ures, such as peak pollution days.

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.

Operating principle

The system detects speed limit signs

on the side of the road and displays the

speed limit.

It mainly uses information taken from

the camera 1, attached to the wind-

screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen is not

obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,

the system also uses information from

the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you

can adjust the speed limiter indication

displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed

limit, the sign display is modified (the

characters change to red or the circle

around the sign flashes) no notify you.

2.54

OVERSPEED ALERT

(3/3)

This function is an additional driving aid. However, 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, re-

gardless of the system indications.
The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detect

other traffic signage.
The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system

and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.
In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system

may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of

the system indications.

Operating fault

The system cannot detect the speed

limit if:
–  the windscreen is not clean;
–  the camera is blinded by the sun;
–  there is insufficient visibility (night,

fog, etc.);

– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.)

or are hidden (by another vehicle or

by trees);

– the information taken from the navi-

gation system is not up to date.

2.55

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)

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).

5 Switch the function to standby (with

cruising speed saved) (O).

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).

4 This control is only activated for ve-

hicles fitted with adaptive cruise

control (refer to the information on

“adaptive cruise control” in sec-

tion 2).

2.56

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: 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.

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side



Indicator light



comes on, lit green,

and the message “Cruise Control”

appears on the instrument panel,

accompanied by dashes to indicate that

the cruise control function is activated

and waiting to store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above approxi-

mately 18.6 mph (30 km/h)) press

switch 2 side a (+): the function is acti-

vated and the current speed is memo-

rised.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and cruise control is confirmed by dis-

playing of the cruising speed, the mes-

sage “Cruise control” and depending on
the vehicle the indicator light



, in ad-

dition to the indicator 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.

2.57

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: 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.

2.58

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– use the switch 5 (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.

a 3

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 “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 is set to

standby, pressing on the side a (+)

of the switch 2 reactivates the cruise

control function without taking into

account the stored speed: it is the

speed at which the vehicle is moving

that is taken into account.

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. Depending
on the vehicle, the green



warning

light and message on the instrument

panel go out to confirm that the function

is deactivated.

2.59

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(1/7)

When traffic conditions permit (large

free-flowing road or motorway), the

adaptive cruise control gives you the

option of maintaining a chosen speed,

known as cruise control, adjusta-

ble from 30 mph to 85 mph (50 and

140 km/h), while keeping a following

distance from the vehicle in front in the

same lane.
The sensor has a range of 120 metres.
Note: The driver should take into ac-

count the maximum speed limit in their

location.
Note: the adaptive cruise control can

brake the vehicle up to a third of the

braking capacity. Depending on the

situation, the driver may need to brake

harder.

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).
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.

Sensor location

Make sure that the sensor 1 is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.
