Driving
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–
Atmospheric pollution.
–

Towing.
–

Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
–


T
yre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
–

Y
oung drivers.
The system may 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, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
–


Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Speed setting
recommendations
The driver can select the speed displayed by the
Road signs recognition function as the speed
setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or
adaptive cruise control using the

OK
button.
In the event of rain detection, the system offers
the driver a speed setting lower than the speed
read/from the map in order to adapt to weather
conditions (e.g.
on motorways, the proposed
speed is 68 mph (110 km/h) instead of 81 mph
(130 km/h).
Speed setting advance recommendations
With Highway Driver Assist 2.0 activated,
the system detects the next speed limit sign,
displays it in the background and proposes this
new speed as the speed setting.
Once memorised:
–

If the speed setting is lower than the previous
one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new
speed when it gets to the sign.
–


If the speed setting is higher than the previous
one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new
speed when it passes the sign.
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.

Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and
to

Cruise control - particular
recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle
speed at a value set by the driver (speed
setting), while respecting a safety distance from
the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set
by the driver. The system automatically manages
the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop
& Go function, the system
manages braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.
The system is not operational in the event of
a brake lamp failure.


To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the
top of the windscreen and a radar fitted 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 activates the direction
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,
cruise control may temporarily reduce the
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate
overtaking, without exceeding the speed
setting.
