Driving
For more information on the Drive Assist Plus
system, refer to the corresponding section.
The selection is confirmed by the display of the
symbols on the instrument panel, representing
the steering wheel and the side lines.
The colour of the symbols depends on the
operating state of the system:
(grey)
One or more operating conditions is not
met; the system is paused.
(green)
All operating conditions are met; the
system is active.
(orange)
System malfunction.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system
for some time, they can deactivate it by pressing
the ASSIST button again (confirmed by the
Driving aids mini-view disappearing from the
instrument panel).
The system status is saved when the ignition is switched off.
Operating conditions
– Adaptive cruise control active.
– ESC system operational.
–

ASR system activated.
–


No trailer detected.
–


No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.
–


V
ehicle not subject to strong lateral
acceleration.
– Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbols are
displayed in green: with small steering inputs,
the system steers 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.
You can feel the steering wheel moving.
At any time, the driver can change the position of
the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel
and maintaining the position until the system has
taken it into account. If the chosen position is too
off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre
can occur. The system adjusts to the newly
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 causes the
Adaptive cruise control
system to be 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, the system must be
reactivated by pressing the ASSIST button
again.
Automatic suspension
Suspension of the system is accompanied by a
specific audible signal.
–

T
riggering of the ESC system.
–

Insufficient lane detection. In this case, the
Lane keeping assist function can take over

,
and the system will reactivate itself once the
operating conditions are met again.
Paused by the driver
– Travelling outside the lane limits.
– T oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
–

Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause
until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator
pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is
depressed).
–


Pausing of the
Adaptive cruise control system.
–

Deactivation of the
ASR system. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

–

T

ravelling in a tight bend.
– Winding roads.
– Road surface repairs.
Risk of undesirable operation
The system should be deactivated in the following situations:
–

When changing a wheel or working near a
wheel.
–


T

owing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing
device, especially with trailer not plugged in or
not approved.
–

Semi-automatic lane
changing
(with Drive Assist 2.0)
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system assists the driver in changing lanes.

Driving
6The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on detection system to avoid
distraction on the part of the driver.
For more information on the Hands-on
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
The system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver. The driver remains responsible
for their driving by monitoring their
surroundings and keeping their hands on the
steering wheel.
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 intervention on the brake pedal or the
accelerator pedal that causes the adaptive
cruise control to be paused or suspended will
also cause the system to deactivate.
Selecting the system
Two options:
– Either when the vehicle is already driving on
an eligible road, the driver selects the system by
activating the Drive
Assist 2.0 system.
–

Or when the driver is already using Drive
Assist Plus, the vehicle suggests selecting the
system upon arriving at an eligible road by
pressing the OK

button.
Activation/Deactivation
