Cruise control - "CRUISE"
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.
Y ou are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

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.

When the dynamic cruise control is
automatically paused, it can only be
reactivated when safe conditions are
restored. The message "Activation
no
t possible, conditions unsuitable"
is displayed while reactivation is not
possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the system be
reactivated
by pressing button 2 or 3,
which
will make the current speed of
y
our vehicle the new cruise speed
setting,
rather than by pressing button 4
(on/pause)
which reactivates the system
u
sing the old cruise speed setting,
w
hich may be very different from the
current
speed of your vehicle. The
dynamic cruise control uses only engine b
raking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
v
ehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
t
he accelerator pedal.
The
system is paused automatically:
-
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,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough
to continue to maintain a safe
d
istance, for example when descending a
s
teep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
The
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

-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
