Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using: -
S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account so that
you obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.

F To temporarily exceed the programmed speed threshold, fully depress the
accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
If it is exceeded for a prolonged period of time,
an audible warning is triggered.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to below the programmed speed. When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope, for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes fixed again.

Cruise control - particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and
keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant
when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may
o c c u r.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations

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 using just
engine braking (as if the driver had
pressed the "-" button).
To do so, it has a radar located in the front

Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts is
not sequential.
Operating limits
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise
control suspended” following a brief
acceleration by the driver.
“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close
or at a slower speed.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control
limit being reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit
adjustment being exceeded and no
reaction from the driver. The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 19 mph (30
km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system pauses itself if the
safety distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Cases of non- detection by the radar:
-

e t c .) .
-
