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
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.

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 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.

vehicle detected by the radar, if the
speed selected is much higher than
the speed of that vehicle, the system
is not activated and the alert message
"Activation not possible, conditions
unsuitable" is displayed until driving
conditions are safe to allow activation of
the system.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed setting is unintentionally
exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,
the speed setting in the instrument panel
flashes as a warning.

When the active cruise control is
automatically paused, it can only be
reactivated when safe conditions are
restored.
the
message "Activation

, 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.

In the event of a fault with the active cruise
control, you are alerted by an audible signal
and display of the message message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a P

ge
Ot
d

ealer or a qualified workshop. When the cruise control is working, take
care if making a maintained press on
one of the cruise control programmed
speed modification buttons: this can
lead to a very quick change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the active cruise control on
slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when
towing, it might not be possible to attain
or maintain the programmed speed.
