ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(2/7)

Switching on

Press switch 5. Indicator light



comes on, lit green, and the message

“Adaptive cruise ctrl” appears on the

instrument panel, accompanied by

dashes to indicate that the cruise con-

trol function is activated and waiting to

store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above approxi-

mately 31 mph (50 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 the

appearance of the message “Adaptive

cruise ctrl” and the indicator light



If you try to activate the function below

31 mph (50 km/h) or above 86.8 mph

(140 km/h), the message “Invalid

speed” is displayed and the function will

remain inactive.

Adjusting the following

distance

Pressing switch 6 multiple times ad-

justs the following distance.

2.61

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 are

strongly advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react in an emer-

gency.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

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.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(4/7)

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 vehicle speed is lower than

31 mph (50 km/h) or over 86.8 mph

(140 km/h);

– the engine speed is too low or too

high;

– certain driver correction devices and

aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)

In the latter three cases, the message

“Adaptive cruise Adaptive cruise” is dis-

played 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 30 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.

2.63

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(5/7)

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 are

strongly advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react in an emer-

gency.

Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate to reach this

threshold.
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

alongside the alert A when the situation

requires 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.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 5: 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.

2.64

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(6/7)

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, 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 sensor alignment may become changed, and its operation will consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements, touching up of paintwork) must be carried out by a

qualified professional.

System disturbance
In a complex environment (metal bridge, etc.), the system may be affected.
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.65

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

(7/7)

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 sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

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

(motorbikes, 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 sensor may temporarily no longer detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead to ac-

celeration.

– 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.

– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 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.

Deactivating the function
The function should be deactivated if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;

– 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 vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditions (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).
If the driver notices abnormal system behaviour, please consult an authorised dealer.

2.66

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.).

2.67

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.

2.68

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.

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/3)

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1

located on the boot lid or, depending on

the vehicle, on the tailgate provides a

view of the area behind the vehicle on

the multimedia screen 2, accompanied

by one or two moving or fixed guide

lines 3 and 4.
This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

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

This function is an additional

aid. It cannot, therefore,

under any circumstances

replace the vigilance or the

responsibility of the driver.

The driver should always look out

for sudden hazards during driving:

always ensure that there are no

moving obstacles (such as a child,

animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,

narrow objects such as stones or

posts in your path when manoeu-

vring.

This is shown in blue on the multifunc-

tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle

trajectory according to the position of

the steering wheel.

Fixed clearance gauge 4
The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.
