etection   of   a   vehicle   that   is   too   close   or   running   at   a   speed   lower   than   your  
v

ehicle's   cruise   speed   setting.
The
  system   uses   engine   braking   to   slow   your   vehicle   and   then   hold   it   at   the   speed   of  
t

he   vehicle   in   front   so   as   to   maintain   the   programmed   inter-vehicle   time.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited   to   a   maximum   difference   of   20   mph   (30   km/h)  
b

etween   the   speed   setting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   ahead.

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 or 3,
  which   will   make   the   current   speed   of  
y

our   vehicle   the   new   cruise   speed   setting,   rather   than   by   pressing   button   4   (on/pause)   which   reactivates   the   cruise   control   using   the   old   cruise  
s

peed   setting,   which   may   be   very   different   from   the   current   speed   of   your   vehicle.

hen   the   adjusted   speed   reaches   the   control   limit   (speed   setting   -   20   mph  
(

30 km/h)),   the   adjusted   speed   flashes   together   with   the   speed   setting,   to   signal   that  
a

utomatic   deactivation   of   the   system   is   imminent.

paused". If   the   system   exceeds   the   limit   of   speed   adjustment   possible   by   the   system   and  
i

n   the   absence   of   any   reaction   by   the   driver   (operation   of   the   direction   indicator,  
c

hange   of   lane,   reduction   of   the   speed   of   the   vehicle),   the   system   is   automatically  
pa

used.
The   display   of   the   deactivation   message   is   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
Driving

167
The active cruise control uses only engine braking   to   slow   the   vehicle.   Consequently   the  
v

ehicle   looses   speed   slowly,   as   when   releasing  
t

he   accelerator   pedal.
The
  system   is   paused   automatically:
-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   in   front   slows   down   to   much  
o

r   too   suddenly,   and   the   driver   does   not  
b

rake,
-
 
i
f   a   vehicle   comes   between   your   vehicle  
a

nd   the   vehicle   in   front,
-
 
i
f   the   system   does   not   slow   the   vehicle  
e

nough   to   continue   to   maintain   a   safe  
d

istance,   for   example   when   descending   a  
s

teep   hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible   that   the   system   may   not   detect:
The
  cruise   control   does   not   take   account   of:
-
 
s
tationary   vehicles,
-
 
v
ehicles   driving   in   the   opposite   direction.
-
 
v
ehicles   of   reduced   width,   such   as  
m

otorcycles,   for   example,
-
 
v
ehicles   not   running   in   the   middle   of   the  
lan

e, -
 
v
ehicles   entering   a   corner,
-
 
v
ehicles   changing   lane   at   the   last   moment.
