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 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 active cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.
the system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine braking.
the regulation range is limited: there
will no longer be any adjustment of
speed if the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front becomes
too high.
th
e selection of this system deactivates
the display of inter-vehicle time.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
th
e active cruise control is switched on
manually,
it requires that the speed of the vehicle be between
25 mph (40 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
General points
the active cruise control can be paused
manually with the control, or automatically:
-

b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the e SP, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of an action of the electric
parking brake control,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes to small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is to
low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
th

e active cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
the

inter-vehicle time setting is
memorised when switching off the
ignition.
As well as the engagement of at least third or
fourth gear (depending on engine) on a manual
gearbox.
As well as the engagement of at least second
gear (depending on engine) on an automatic
gearbox.
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph
(150 km/h), the active cruise control switches to
normal cruise control mode (without automatic
adjustment of the safety inter-vehicle distance).

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...
t
h
ere is a risk of
injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tO

P mode of
Stop & Start. In S
tO

P mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
th

e Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
th

e 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.
th

e driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.th e Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
-
e

ntry into a parallel parking space
-
e

xit from a parallel parking space
-
b

ay parking
th
e Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles.
t
h
e 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.
th

e Park Assist system cannot work
with the engine off.
