the dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually, it requires that the speed of the
vehicle be between 25 mph (40 km/h) and
90
mph (150 km/h).
General points
the dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually with the control, or automatically:
-

b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the e SC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of an action on the electric
parking brake control,
-

w
hen 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),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
the dynamic 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 inter-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 dynamic cruise control switches
to normal cruise control mode (without
automatic adjustment of the safety inter-vehicle
distance).

Park Assist
this system provides active assistance with
parking. It detects a parking space then
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates 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
hands between the spokes of the
steering wheel and take care with
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties,
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tO

P mode of
Stop & Start. In S
tO

P mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
this manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
th

e driver 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 driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
th
e Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
A.

e
n
try into a parallel parking space
B.

C.
B

ay parking
th
e Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles.
t
h
e function
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.
th

e Park Assist system cannot work
with the engine off.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
th

be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.

the gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
