Speed limit if towing
If an approved towing device is fixed to the vehicle:
56 mph (90

(for example)
Speed limit

43 mph (70 km/h)
(for example)
Speed limit for
vehicles whose gross vehicle
weight or gross
train weight is less than 3.5 tonnes
56 mph (90 km/h)
(for example)
Speed limit in snow Example:
If the exterior
temperature is below 3°C:
19 mph (30
km/h)
(for example)
with a "snowflake" symbol
Qualifier plate detected Display of the
speed associated with the qualifier plate
Speed limit at certain times Example:
19 mph (30 km/h)
(for example)
with a "clock" symbol
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
observe the speed limit.
For the system to work correctly when
changing country, the speed unit in the
instrument panel must correspond to that of
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.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.

Driving
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.
In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the
first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested
speed by more than 3 mph (5 km/h) (e.g. 59
mph (95
km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing
for 10 seconds.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–
atmospheric pollution,
–
when towing,
–
driving with a space-saver type spare wheel or
snow chains fitted,
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit,
–
young drivers.
It is possible for the system to not display the
speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit
sign within a preset period and in the following
situations:
–
road signs that are obstructed, do not comply
with the standard, are damaged or distorted,
–
obsolete or incorrect maps.
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.
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.

One-way street: if you start driving the wrong
way down a one-way street, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the
instrument panel (request to check the traffic

Adjusting the limit speed setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in
order to set the speed.
To modify the limit speed setting based on the
vehicle’s current speed: ►
Briefly press button
2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
►
Press and hold button
2
or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 5 mph (8 km/h).
To change the limit speed setting using memorised speeds, via the touch screen:
►
press button

speed settings,
►
press the button for the desired speed
setting.
The selection screen closes after a few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.

Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
► Press the accelerator pedal down fully .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the displayed speed setting flashes.
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.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
Brake if necessary to control the speed of
your vehicle.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the
programmed setting, the speed limiter functions
again: the display of the speed setting becomes
fixed again.

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (when overtaking, for example) it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is temporarily overridden and the
programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, cruise control takes over
again and the programmed speed setting stops
flashing.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the

You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.

6Use
Activation of the system (pause)
► With the engine running, turn the knob 1
downwards to the CRUISE position. Cruise
control is ready to operate (grey display).
Switching on of cruise control and choice
of speed setting
With a manual gearbox, your speed must be
between 19 and 99 mph (30 and 160 km/h).
With an automatic gearbox, mode
D
or M must
be selected and your speed must be between 19
and 112
mph (30 and 180 km/h).
►
Press button
2 or 3: the current speed
becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph
(30
km/h)) and cruise control is immediately in
operation (green display).
►
Press
3 to increase or 2 to decrease the
speed setting (steps of 5
mph (km/h) if held
pressed).
Pressing and holding button 2 or
3 results in a rapid change in the speed
of the vehicle.
Pausing / resumption of cruise control
► Press 4 or press the brake pedal. To pause
cruise control, it is also possible to: •
shift from mode
D to N;
•
press the clutch pedal for more than 10
seconds;
•
press the electric parking brake control;
► Press 4 to restart cruise control. Cruise
control may have been paused automatically: •
when
the speed of the vehicle goes below 19
mph (30
km/h) with a manual gearbox;
•
when the speed of the engine goes below
1
100 rpm with a manual gearbox;
•
by triggering of the ESC system.
With a manual gearbox, the driver should press
the accelerator pedal to move off, then above
19 mph (30
km/h), reactivate the system by
pressing one of the buttons 2, 3 or 4.
With an automatic gearbox, following braking
of the vehicle bringing it to a complete stop, the
system holds the vehicle stationary; the cruise
control is paused. The driver should press
the accelerator pedal to move off, then above
19 mph (30
km/h), reactivate the system by
pressing one of the buttons 2, 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after about 5 minutes.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
When the driver attempts to reactivate
cruise control which was paused, the
message "Activation not possible, unsuitable
conditions" is briefly displayed if reactivation
is not possible (safety conditions not met).
Modifying the programmed speed setting
with the Speed Limit Recognition and
Recommendation function
► Press 5 to accept the speed suggested by
the function in the instrument panel, then press
again to confirm.
To prevent any sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, select a
speed setting fairly close to the current speed
of the vehicle.
Changing the inter-vehicle distance
► Press 6 to display the distance setting
thresholds (“Distant”, “Normal”, “Close“), then
press again to select a threshold.
After a few seconds, the option is accepted and
will be memorised when the ignition is switched
off.
Temporarily exceeding the speed setting
► Press the accelerator pedal fully . Distance
monitoring and cruise control are deactivated
as long as acceleration is maintained. "Cruise
control suspended" is displayed.
