Active cruise control
this systems allows the vehicle's speed to be
m aintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your vehicle
and the one in front.Principles of
operation
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
l ocated at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
the
d

river is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the active cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the active cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
the choice between the "active" and "standard"
c ruise control is made in the " Driving
assistance " menu.
the c

ruise control selection thumb wheel must
be in the "CR
uISe" po

sition, other wise the
choice will not be taken into account.
For more information on the
"standard" cruise control, refer to the
corresponding section.
the s

tate of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition. F
Pr

ess the button to
change from active
cruise control to
standard cruise
control and vice-
versa.
the a
ctive cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.the sy stem does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
the r

egulation 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.
the s
election 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.
Driving

the active cruise control is switched on m anually,
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
m anually with the control, or automatically:
-
by p

ressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-
in t

he event of operation of the
eS
C, for
safety reasons,
-
in t

he event of an action of the electric
parking brake control,
-
wh

en 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),
-
wh

en the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes to small,
-
wh

en the speed of the vehicle in front is
to
l

ow,
-
wh

en the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
the a

ctive 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 i

nter-vehicle time setting is
memorised when switching off the
ignition.
With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear
(depending on engine) or higher must be
engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, second gear or
higher must be engaged.
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

or 3 (S

, 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.the s peed 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.
the a

ctive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
the s

ystem is paused automatically:
-
if t

he vehicle in front slows down to much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
if a v

ehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-
if t

he 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:
the c
ruise control does not take account of:
- st ationary vehicles,
- ve hicles driving in the opposite direction.
-
ve

hicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example, -
ve

hicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
veh
icles entering a corner,
-
ve
hicles changing lane at the last
moment.

Display of inter-vehicle time
using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
t his system helps the driver maintain a safe
distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, by displaying the current inter-vehicle
time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line.
the
r

ecommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.Activation / deactivation*
F Press this button, the indicator
l amp comes on.
the m

easurement is displayed for
information only: the system takes no
action on the vehicle.
thi

s system does not in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver who
must remain in control of the vehicle at
all times.
the s

ystem is not designed for urban
use nor for more dynamic driving
(bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at a steady
speed.
the s

ystem is active in a speed range
between 42 and 93 mph (70 and
150
k

m/h).
Stationary vehicles and certain other
road users (such as bicycles for
example) are not detected.
the s

ystem displays inter-vehicle
time values of between 3 seconds and
0.5 of a second.
Below 0.5 of a second, the value
displayed is maintained at this level,
even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.
the s

tate of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off. Activation of the system is done in the " Driving
assistance " menu, with the engine running.
* Depending on version.
Conditions for display
the active cruise control must not be selected

Park Assist
this system provides active assistance with
par king, detecting a parking space then
controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
entry into and exit from a parking space, the
system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once. During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags...
the

re is a risk of
injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tOP m

ode of
Stop & Start. In S
tOP m

ode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
the P

ark Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
the d

river must remain in control
of their vehicle ensuring that the
space remains clear throughout the
manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots.
the d

river can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.the P ark Assist system provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
-

the P
ark Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles.
the f

is deactivated after these 4 cycles.
If you think that your vehicle is not
positioned correctly, you should then
take control of the steering to carry out
the manoeuvre.
the P
