 n

The
  speed   limiter   is   paused by operation of the
control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded

active cruise control
This systems allows, in addition to maintaining your   vehicle's   speed   at   a   value   that   you  
h

ave   defined,   the   inter-vehicle   time   you   have  
s

elected   between   your   vehicle   and   the   one  
a

head   to   be   maintained.Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located   at   the   front   of   the   vehicle,   this   system  
d

etects   a   vehicle   running   in   front   of   your  
v

ehicle.
It
  automatically   adapts   the   speed   of   the   vehicle  
t

o   that   of   the   vehicle   in   front.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,  
t

he   system   progressively   reduces   the   speed   of  
y

our   vehicle   using   just   engine   braking   (as   if   the  
d

river   had   pressed   the   "-"
  button).
If
  your   vehicle   is   too   close   to   or   approaching  
t

oo   quickly   the   vehicle   in   front,   the   cruise  
c

ontrol   is   automatically   deactivated.   The  
d

river   is   then   alerted   by   an   audible   signal,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  
l

ane,   the   active   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If
  the   driver   operates   a   direction   indicator   to  
t

he   left   (left   hand   drive)   or   the   right   (right   hand  
d

rive),   to   overtake   a   slower   vehicle,   the   active  
c

ruise   control   allows   your   vehicle   to   temporarily  
a

pproach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
 ma

noeuvre,
 t
hough
 n
ever
 e
xceeding
 t

he   programmed   speed. The active cruise control operates by
day
  and   at   night,   in   fog   or   in   moderate  
r

ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system,   but   works   only   with   engine   braking.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited:   there   will
 n

o   longer   be   any   adjustment   of   speed   if   the
 d

ifference   between   the   programmed   speed
 s

etting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front
 b

ecomes   too   high   (18   mph   (30   km/h)).
The selection of this system deactivates the   inter-vehicle   time   function.
If
  the   difference   between   the  
p

rogrammed   speed   setting   and   the  
s

peed   of   the   vehicle   in   front   is   too  
g

reat,   the   speed   cannot   be   adjusted:  
t

he   cruise   control   is   automatically  
d

eactivated.Choice of the type of cruise control
If you want to use the standard cruise control, it is possible to deactivate the active cruise
control in the " Driving assistance "
  menu   of  
t

he   the   touch   screen   tablet.
On
  pressing   the   button,   the   green  
i

ndicator   lamp   goes   off.
The
  standard   cruise   control   is   available.
Refer to the previous section for the
details
  of   the   operation   of   the   standard  
c

ruise   control.
This
  is   confirmed   by   the   display   of  
t

his   symbol   in   the   control.
You can return to the active cruise
control
  at   any   time   by   pressing   this  
bu
