Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between your vehicle and the one in front to be maintained.
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
v
ehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
to
that of the vehicle in front.
If
the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
t
he system progressively reduces the speed of
y
our vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
d
river had pressed the " -"
button).
If
your vehicle is too close to or approaching
t
oo quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
c
ruise control is automatically deactivated.
T
he driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
a
ccompanied by a message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and
"standard" cruise control is done in the Driving
menu.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
assistance " tab, then "Dynamic cruise
control" to activate or deactivate the
dynamic
cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control ,
refer to the corresponding
s
ection.F
P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel
at "CRUISE". If
the vehicle in front accelerates or changes l
ane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
a
ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
s
peed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to
the left (left hand drive) or the right (right
h
and drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the
d
ynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist
the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
e
xceeding the 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.

Assisted lane departure warning system
Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the ground, this systems corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This
system is particularly useful on motor ways and main roads.
The
assisted lane departure warning
s
ystem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace
t
he
n
eed
fo
r
v
igilance
o
n
t
he
par
t
o
f the driver.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle
in all circumstances. The system
h
elps the driver only when there is a risk
o
f the vehicle involuntarily wandering
f
rom the lane it is being driven on.
I
t does not manage the safe driving
d
istance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The
driver must hold the steering wheel
i
n a way that allows control to be taken
b
ack in circumstances where the system
i
s not able to intervene (where there are
no
lane markings, for example).
It
is necessary to observe the driving
r
egulations and take a break every
t
wo hours.
Operation
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and
112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The
carriageway must have at least one lane
m
arking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The
change of trajectory is not accompanied by
o
peration of the direction indicators.
The
ESC system must be activated. Once
the system identifies a risk of the vehicle i
nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
d
etected, it makes the correction to the
t
rajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its
in
itial
pa
th.
The
driver will then notice a turning movement
o
f the steering wheel.
This
warning lamp flashes during
t
rajectory
c
orrection.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory
of the vehicle, they can
p
revent the correction by keeping a firm
g
rip on the wheel (during an avoiding
m
anoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction
indicators are operated.
Driving
179
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
However, with the "Blind spot monitoring system" activated, if the driver starts changing
l
ane and another vehicle is detected in the
vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct
t
he trajectory of the vehicle even though the
d
irection indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind spot
monitoring system ,
refer to the corresponding
s
ection. If the system detects that the driver is
not
holding the wheel firmly enough
d
uring an automatic correction of
t
rajectory, it interrupts the correction.
A
n alert is triggered to encourage
t
he driver to take back control of the
v
ehicle.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation / deactivation of the system is done i
n the Driving menu of the touch screen tablet.
Select the " Driving assistance " tab then
" Help staying in lane ".
The state of the system stays in memory when
the
ignition is switched off.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a
few
seconds
after
switching
them
off,
the
s
ystem
considers
that
any
change
of
trajectory
i
s
voluntary
and
no
correction
is
triggered

uring
this
period.
