SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (1/3)
Activating/deactivating the
function
From the multifunction screen 2, select
menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“Distance warning” then choose “ON”
or “OFF”.
Using the information from the radar-
camera
1, this function informs the
driver of the time interval between him
and the vehicle in front so that a safe
stopping distance between the two ve-
hicles can be maintained.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
The function is activated when the ve-
hicle speed is between about 18.6 and
124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.
You can access menu “Driving as-
sistance” directly from button 3

replace the due care and attention
of the driver, who should at all times
be in control of the vehicle.

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (2/3)
The measurement is dis-
played for information only:
the system performs no
action on the vehicle.
This function is not designed for use
in urban conditions or for a dynamic
driving style (sudden cornering, ac-
celeration, braking, etc.), but rather
for stable driving conditions.
The function does not interact with
the braking system.
The windscreen must remain clean
to ensure the correct operation of
the system.
– C (orange): the time interval falls
between around 1 and 2 seconds (in-
sufficient distance between the two
vehicles);
– D (red): the time interval is less than
or equal to around one second (very
insufficient distance between the two
vehicles).
If the interval between the two vehicles
is less than around 0.5 seconds, noti-
fication 4, display D , will flash on the
instrument panel. Under certain condi-
tions, the time interval may not be dis-
played:
– while cornering;
– when changing lane;
– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far or outside the range of the sensor.
This function is essential if adaptive
cruise control is activated.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.

Operation
Upon activating the function, indicator 4
notifies the driver of the distance sepa-
rating them from the vehicle in front.
– A (grey): function not operational;
– A (green): no vehicle detected;
– B (green): the time interval is greater
than or equal to around two seconds
(distance between the two vehicles
adapted to your speed);

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, an\
d its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera is located (repairs, replac\
ements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be car- ried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area \
(e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area etc.);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– the road is narrow, winding and undulating (tight bends etc.)
Risk of erroneous false alarms.

FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (1/2)
This function analyses the behaviour
of the driver at the steering wheel and
warns him of the risk of fatigue.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid in case of
risk of fatigue. The function
does not take the place of
the driver.
Under no circumstances should this
function replace the driver’s care or
responsibility whilst driving.
Activation/deactivation
Vehicles fitted with a navigation
system
From the multifunction screen 1: select
“Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”, “Fatigue
detection warn.”, then choose “ON” or
“OFF”.

When the engine is started, the
system remembers its position
when the ignition was last switched
off.

– repeatedly press the control 5 up or
down until you reach the Fatigue de-
tection warn. menu, then press the
switch 4 OK.
– press the 4 OK switch again to acti-
vate or deactivate the function.
Operation
The function is set to notify the
driver if:
– the vehicle speed is greater than ap- proximately 37.2 mph (60 km/h);
and
– Approximately 15 minutes have passed since the deletion of the pre-
vious warning.
The function triggers an alert if the
system detects repeated signs of fa-
tigue in the driver at the steering wheel.
When a risk of fatigue is detected,
the message “Fatigue warning have a
break” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by a beep.
Press switch 4 OK to delete the warn-
ing.
It is advisable to stop as soon as pos-
sible for a break.
FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (2/2)
Note:
– if the warning is not deleted by press- ing switch 4 OK, the beep repeats;
– some driving styles may be inter- preted by the system as a sign of
tiredness (action on the steering
wheel, frequency of activation of the
direction indicators etc.) ;
– the use of the function is also useful on monotonous roads (motorways,
high-speed roads etc).
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check fatigue warning” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an approved dealer

2.64
OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling.For vehicles equipped with a navigation
system and if the vehicle is travelling in
a country where the speed units differ
from those of the vehicle, the system
displays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed limit
converted to the unit used by the vehi-
cle’s instrument panel.
For countries where the speed limit is
reduced during rainy weather on some
types of roads, on vehicles equipped
with a navigation system, the system
can modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
Special situations
The system does not take into account
exceptional speed limit measures, such
as peak pollution days.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1
, attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,
the system also uses information from
the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.1

2.66
OVERSPEED ALERT (3/3)
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any
circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-
gardless of the system indications.
The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detec\
t
other signs.
The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system
and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.
In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system
may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of
the system indications.Operating fault
The system cannot detect the speed
limit if:
– the windscreen is not clean;
– the camera is blinded by the sun;
– there is insufficient visibility (night, fog, etc.);
– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.) or are hidden (by another vehicle or
by trees);
– the information taken from the navi- gation system is not up to date.
