2018 RENAULT KANGOO Z.E. Owners Manual

2.21
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).
CRUISE CONTROL (1/4)
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. The func-
tion does not take the place
of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls 1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage
and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Switch the function to standby
(with cruising speed saved) (O).
5 Activation with recall of saved
cruising speed (R).

Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
CRUISE CONTROL (2/4)
67
Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 18 mph
(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2
or (+): the function is activated and the
current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and the cruise control is confirmed by
the appearance of a message on the
instrument panel and warning light 7 lit
green, as well as warning light 6.

The cruise control switches to standby each time the ECO mode is activat\
ed or
deactivated. Please refer to the information on “ECO mode function”\
in Section 2.

2.23
CRUISE CONTROL (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

2.24
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 and  indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con-
firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-
dition that you are driving faster than
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
that you are sure that the driving condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface
condition, weather conditions, etc.).
NB: 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 2
(+) 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.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
 warning light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in-
strument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL (4/4)
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.

Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
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.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operation
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.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the
screen
1 shows the vehicle surround-
ings alongside the beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a chil\
d, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

2.26
Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for about 3 sec-
onds as a warning. Consult an ap-
proved dealer
In the event of an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g. striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g. twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
2
Prolonged deactivation of the
system
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch
remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.

2.27
REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
Operation
Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1
located on the rear hinged door pro-
vides a view of the area behind the
vehicle on the rear-view mirror 2 or,
depending on the vehicle, on the mul-
timedia display 3, accompanied by one
or two (moving and fixed) guide lines 4
and 5.
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, condensation, etc.). Note: depending on the vehicle, you
can adjust certain settings from the
multimedia display
3. Refer to the
handbook for the equipment.
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circ\
um-
stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving:
always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such
as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when
manoeuvring.

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the rear doors are open or poorly
closed, the camera display disap-
pears and, depending on the ve-
hicle, the message “BOOT OPEN”
appears.
Dynamic gauge 4 (depending on the
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on the multimedia
display 3. It indicates the vehicle tra-
jectory according to the position of the
steering wheel.
Static guide line 5:
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle. This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
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.
