+ "Take
back control of the
v
ehicle"The
driver should take control of the vehicle by accelerating or
b
raking, depending on the circumstances (sharp curve).
+ "Take
back control of the
v
ehicle"The
system cannot manage the critical situation alone
(
emergency braking of the target vehicle, rapid insertion of
a
nother vehicle between the two vehicles).
The driver must immediately take back control of the
vehicle.
or "Activation not possible,
conditions
un
suitable"The
system refuses to activate the cruise control (speed outside
t
he operating range, winding road).
or according
to the inter-vehicle
d
istance selected and the actual
d
istance from the target vehicle"Cruise
control paused"
(for
a few seconds)The
system has brought the vehicle to a complete stop and is
h
olding it immobilised.
The
driver should accelerate to move off again.
The
cruise control remains paused until the driver reactivates it
w

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws of physics.
It
is recommended that the system be
d
eactivated when the "space-saver" spare
w
heel is in use.
The
system should not be activated when
t
owing a trailer.
In
certain critical situations, the system will
e
ncourage the driver to immediately take back
c
ontrol:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
o
r too suddenly, and the driver does not
b
rake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
a
nd 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,
s
cooters...),
-
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.

Operating fault
As a safety measure, do not use the system if the brake lamps are faulty.
Do
not use the system if the front bumper is
d
amaged. In the event of a fault with the cruise
control,
you are alerted by the
i
llumination of this warning lamp
a
nd the display of a message in the
i
nstrument panel, accompanied by an
a
udible
s
ignal.
The
cruise
control
operates
by
day
and
at
n
ight,
in
fog
or
moderate
rainfall.
However,
it
is
strongly
recommended
that
y
ou
always
keep
a
safe
distance
from
v
ehicles
ahead,
according
to
the
driving
c
onditions,
the
weather
and
the
road
s
ur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving
conditions
allow
running
at
a
c
onstant
speed
and
at
an
adequate
safe
di
stance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas,
heavy
traffic,
on
winding
or
steep
r
oads
or
on
slippery
or
flooded
sur faces.
In
certain
circumstances,
it
may
not
b
e
possible
for
