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.

Switching on
If the cruise control is switched on, you can then modify the initial speed in one of the following ways: - using buttons 2 or 3 :  by successive short presses, to modify the speed by + or - 1 mph (km/h),  by a long press, to modify the speed in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h),
Pause
 Turn wheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position: the cruise control mode is selected but is not switched on (Pause).  Press button 2 or 3 : your vehicle's current speed becomes the cruise speed (selected on the fly). The cruise control is activated (ON).
Modification of the initial
speed setting
- pressing button 5 :  the six memorised speeds are displayed in the the touch screen,
 choose a value: it is displayed in the instrument panel. The selection screen closes after a few moments. The modification is then accepted.
Once switched on, you can pause the cruise control at any time by pressing button 4 : the screen confirms the pause.

inter-vehicle time
Modification of the cruise
control speed only
Buttons 2 (SET+) and 3 (SET-)
If the cruise control is on, you can modify the speed:  by successive short presses, to modify by steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h),  by a maintained press, to modify in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).
Press button 5 , the six memorised speeds and the inter-vehicle time setting are displayed in the touch screen.  Choose a speed setting: it is displayed in the instrument panel,  press or the " + " or " - " button to choose a new inter-vehicle time setting between 2.5 seconds and 1 second. The selection screen closes after a few moments. The modifications are then accepted.
In the event of the presence of a vehicle detected by the radar, if the speed selected is much higher than
the speed of that vehicle, the system is not activated and the alert message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed until driving conditions are safe to allow activation of the system.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
As a precaution, it is recommended that you select a cruise speed setting close to the current speed of your vehicle.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by depressing the accelerator pedal. Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to the programmed speed. If the programmed speed is unintentionally exceeded, descending a steep hill for example, the speed setting in the instrument panel flashes as a warning.
Button 5 (MEM)

When the active cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible. When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2 (SET+) or 3 (SET-), which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.

"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's cruise speed setting. The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h)) and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-vehicle time. When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused. The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Display of inter-vehicle time
Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle, this system helps the driver maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in front, by displaying the inter-vehicle time in the instrument panel. It is the time interval, expressed in seconds, that separates two vehicles in line. The recommended safe value is about 2 seconds: refer to the legislation or highway code in force in your country.
Activation / deactivation
 Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The measurement is displayed for information only: the system takes no action on the vehicle. This system does not in any circumstances replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver who must remain in control of their vehicle at all times. The system is not designed for urban use nor during more dynamic driving (bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at stable speed.
The system is active in a speed range between 42 and 93 mph (70 and 150 km/h). Stationary vehicles and certain other road users (such as bicycles for example) are not detected. The system displays inter-vehicle time values of between 3 seconds and 0.5 of a second. Below 0.5 of a second, the value displayed is maintained at this level, even if the true inter-vehicle time is less. Activation of the active cruise control automatically deactivates the system.
The state of the system is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance " menu, with the engine running.
