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).

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 (S
e

t
+
) or 3 (S
e
t
-
), 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.

When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than

signal that automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.

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.
th
e display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

the speed regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low.
th
e active cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
th

e system is paused automatically:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down to much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-

i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is
possible that the system may not detect:
th

e cruise control does not take account of:
-
s

tationary vehicles,
-

v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example,
-

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane, -
v

ehicles entering a corner,
-

v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
