Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver. You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals
at all times.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
The controls of this system are grouped together at the steering wheel. 1. Cruise control mode selection wheel. 2. Decrease value or speed setting on the fly button. 3. Increase value or speed setting on the fly
button. 4. Cruise control pause / resume button. 5. Memorised speeds display button.
Displays in the instrument panel
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The cruise control is paused manually or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESC system for safety reasons. It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal until the programmed cruise speed is reached again.
As well as the engagement of at least third or fourth gear (depending on engine) on a manual gearbox.
For more information on the list of
memorised speeds, refer to the "Memorising speeds" section.
As well as the engagement of at least second
gear (depending on engine) on an automatic gearbox.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be necessary to move for wards and backwards more than once.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in any circumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear throughout the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for the following manoeuvres:
- entry into a parallel parking space
- exiting from a parallel parking space
- bay parking
The Park Assist system takes control of the power steering for a maximum of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function is deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you think that your vehicle is not positioned correctly, you should then take control of the steering to carry out the manoeuvre. The Park Assist system cannot work with the engine off.

The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed in the instrument panel.
You should always check the surroundings of your vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled by the system: you must take control of the steering.
The assistance is activated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit indicate that the steering manoeuvres are controlled by the system: do not touch the steering wheel.
The park sensors function is not available during parking space measurement. It intervenes later when manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is approaching an obstacle: the audible signal becomes continuous when the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres away. If you have deactivated the parking sensors, they are automatically reactivated during assisted parking manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist inhibits the blind spot monitoring function.
