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
