Highway Driver Assist
This system provides active assistance in
keeping the vehicle in position in its lane.
It associates the Adaptive Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function and Active Lane Keeping
Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motor ways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise
Control and Active Lane Keeping Assist ,
refer to the corresponding sections. The system assists the driver in managing
the steering, acceleration and braking
within the limits of the laws of physics
and the capabilities of the vehicle. Some
road infrastructure elements or vehicles
present on the road may not be properly
seen or may be poorly interpreted by the
camera and radar, which may lead to an
unexpected change in direction, a lack of
steering correction and/or inappropriate
management of the acceleration or
braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids
and to Cruise control – par ticular
recommendations .
This system automatically maintains the
speed of your vehicle at a
value which you set
(speed setting), while keeping a
safe distance
from the vehicle in front (target vehicle), and
which has been set beforehand by the driver.
The system automatically manages the
acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. With the Stop function
, the system manages
the braking until the vehicle stops completely.
With the Stop & Go function, the system
manages the braking until the vehicle stops
completely, and also manages its restarting.
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
If the driver operates a
direction indicator
to overtake a
slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist
the overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.

Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situations.
The display of these alerts is not sequential. While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory
of the vehicle even though the direction
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Monitoring system , refer to the corresponding
section. Status of the

This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a
vehicle slowly.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a
lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a
collision.This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a
substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess the
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
Activation/Deactivation
