Recommendation

In addition to Speed Limit Recognition and
Recommendation, the driver can select the speed
displayed as a speed setting for the speed limiter
or cruise control using the speed limiter or cruise
control memorisation button.
If rain is detected, the system will suggest to the
driver a speed setting lower than the speed read/
obtained from the map in order to adapt to the
weather conditions (example: on a motorway,
the suggested speed will be 60 mph (97 km/h)
instead of 70 mph (112 km/h).
For more information on the Speed limiter,
Cruise control or Adaptive cruise control,
refer to the corresponding sections.

speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation shown on the instrument
panel:
►  Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to
confirm the memorisation request.
►  Press button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Switching off
►  Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a malfunction with the cruise control
system.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter and
programmable cruise control, lets you save speed
settings that will subsequently be proposed for
the purpose of configuring these two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only
change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button



With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter or
Cruise control, refer to the corresponding section.
DS DRIVE ASSIST
Only available on versions with the EAT8
automatic gearbox and gear selector.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and
corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction
with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to the
corresponding sections. The system assists the driver by acting on
the steering, acceleration and braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics and the
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on
the road may not be properly seen or may be
poorly interpreted by the camera and radar,
resulting in an unexpected change in direction,
a lack of steering correction and/or
inappropriate management of acceleration or
braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular recommendations.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and to Cruise
control - particular 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 & Go function, the system manages
the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop and the restarting of the vehicle.


To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, 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 the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, without ever exceeding
the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar (e.g. a
lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment of
the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.

Activation/Deactivation



►  With the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &
Go function activated, press this button.
The action is confirmed by:
–

The indic
ator lamp in the button lighting up
green.
–

The follo
wing symbol being displayed on the
instrument panel.
The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel
depends on the operating status of the system:
(grey colour)
One or more operating conditions is not
met; the system is paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met; the
system is active.
(orange colour)
System malfunction.
For vehicles equipped with a head-up
display, the information is projected onto
the blade.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system
for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions, the
system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which
suspends the function. The driver positions the
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, they maintain it until the function
is reactivated. The system regains control by
regulating on the new defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they
believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that results in cruise
control being paused will also cause the
system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding the
steering wheel, you must reactivate it by
pressing the button again.
Automatic pause
– Triggering o f the ESC.
– Prolonged failure t o detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the active lane
departure warning function can take over, and the
system will reactivate itself once the operating
conditions are again met.
