CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 or 2,  side.
Warning light
 comes on, lit green,
and the message “Cruise ctrl” appears
on the instrument panel A, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx.
18 mph (30 km/h)), press switch 3 (+):
the function is activated and the current
speed is saved. The cruising speed re-
places the dashes and the activation of
the cruise control is confirmed, depend-
ing on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.
Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– 5 switch (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In these three cases, the cruising
speed remains stored and the mes-
sage “Memorised” accompanied by this
speed appears on the instrument panel.
Switching to standby is confirmed, de-
pending on the vehicle:
– by the disappearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area no longer being lit up in green.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
The cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel and, depending on the
vehicle, the display area lights up in
red to inform you that the limit speed is
being exceeded.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: this speed flashes on
the instrument panel and, depending
on the vehicle, the display area will light
up in red.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 3 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 4 (-) to reduce speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

2.37
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 3
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is stopped
if you press switch 1 or 2: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
warning light
 on the instrument
panel A goes out, confirming that the
function is stopped.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.).
Press switch 6 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed, the
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed, depending on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)
Operating principleUltrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-
versing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Note: the display 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings in conjunction with the
beeps.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no moving obstacles (such as a
child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Automatic deactivation of the rear
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when reverse gear is disengaged;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Rear parking distance controlOperation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.

2.39
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than around
1 metre away from the front of the ve-
hicle are detected and a beep sounds.
Depending on the vehicle, the display 1
lights up.
Automatic deactivation of the front
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes. If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac-
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit-
ted. If obstacles are detected both at
the front and rear of the vehicle at the
same time, and they are both less than
30 centimetres away from the vehicle,
the corresponding front and rear beeps
will sound alternately.1
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

boot lid transmits a view of the sur-
roundings to the rear of the vehicle
to the multimedia display 2 accompa-
nied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4
(mobile and fixed).
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately. 3 moving guide line:
