You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at

Switching off
When the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the

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

181
308_en_Chap06_conduite_ed02-2015
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).
