Active cruise control
this systems allows the vehicle's speed to be
maintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your vehicle
and the one in front.Principles of operation
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" b ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
t
h
e
driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the active cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the active cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
the choice between the "active" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the " Driving
assistance " menu.
th

e cruise control selection thumb wheel must
be in the "CR
uI

S
e" p
osition, other wise the
choice will not be taken into account.
Refer to the corresponding section
for information on the operation of the
standard cruise control.

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).

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 current inter-vehicle
time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line. t
h
e
recommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.Activation / deactivation*
F Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
th

e measurement is displayed for
information only: the system takes no
action on the vehicle.
th

is system does not in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver who
must remain in control of the vehicle at
all times.
th

e system is not designed for urban
use nor for more dynamic driving
(bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at a steady
speed.
th

e 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.
th

e 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.
th

e 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.
* Depending on version.
Conditions for display
the active cruise control must not be selected
(the active cruise control information is
displayed instead of that for the inter-vehicle
t i m e).

th
e system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.
ta

ke care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. t
he
y should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer needed.Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "
eC

O" mode to avoid discharging
the battery. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
th

e lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.
