Detection
  of   a   vehicle,   at   the   limit   of   the   range   of   the   radar:  
t

he   system   operates   as   a   standard   cruise   control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection
  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.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When
  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.
"Cruise control
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,
change
  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.

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
It
 
i
s  
r
ecommended   that  
y
ou   always  
k
eep  
y

our   feet   close   to   the   pedals.
The
  driver   must   be   ready   to   take   back  
c

ontrol of their vehicle at any time,
using
  the   brake   or   accelerator   pedal   as  
a

ppropriate.
This
 
system
 
assures
 
two
 
functions:
-
 
a

utomatic
 
regulation
 
of
 
the
 
speed
 
of
 
the
 v
ehicle
 
to
 
a
 
value
 
programmed
 
by
 
the
 d
river,
-
 
a

utomatic
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
distance
 
b

etween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead.
It
 
manages
 
the
 
acceleration
 
and
 
deceleration
 
o

f
 
the
 
vehicle
 
by
 
automatically
 
acting
 
on
 
the
 
e

ngine
 
and
 
the
 
braking
 
system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the
 
middle
 
of
 
the
 
front
 
bumper,
 
with
 
a
 
maximum
 
r

ange
 
of
 
150
 
metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of y our   vehicle,   travelling   in   the   same   direction.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a
  constant   distance.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,   the  
s

ystem   slows,   or   even   stops   your   vehicle,   using  
e

ngine   braking   and   the   braking   system.
If
  the   braking   system   is   used   to   decelerate   the  
v

ehicle,   the   brake   lamps   come   on.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  
l

ane,   the   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake
  a   slower   vehicle,   the   dynamic   cruise  
c

ontrol allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
 ma

noeuvre,
 t
hough
 n
ever
 e
xceeding
 t

he   programmed   speed.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws   of   physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel
  is   in   use.
The system should not be activated when
towing
  a   trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage
  the   driver   to   immediately   take   back  
c

ontrol:
-

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

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and
  the   vehicle   in   front. As
  the   radar's   field   of   detection   is   quite   narrow,  
i

t   is   possible   that   the   system   may   not   detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-
 
v
ehicles   not   running   in   the   middle   of   the  
lan

e,
-
 
v
ehicles   entering   a   corner,
-
 
v
ehicles   suddenly   pulling   out.The
  cruise   control   does   not   take   account   of:
-

p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
 
s
tationary   vehicles   (traffic   jam,   red   light,  
b

reakdown...),
-
 
v
ehicles   crossing   a   junction,
-
 
v
ehicles   driving   in   the   opposite   direction.
