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.

Malfunction
A system malfunction is indicated
by the Service warning lamp coming
on and this (orange) symbol, accompanied by an
alert message and an audible signal.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
road and at the edges of the road (depending on
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.


Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 and
180 km/h).
–

R
oad marked with a central dividing line.
–

St
eering wheel held in both hands.
–

Direction indic
ators not activated.
–

ESC s
ystem activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is
a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands in a way that allows control to
be maintained in circumstances where the
system is not able to intervene (for example, if
the central dividing line disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.


While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and
another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind
spot, the system will correct the trajectory even
though the direction indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot Detection,
refer to the corresponding section.

that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
– If the st eering wheel is not held properly, an audible
warning sounds, accompanied by a message, until the
trajectory correction is completed or the driver has grasped
the steering wheel correctly.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The warning
will become continuous, persisting until the driver responds.
