Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic.
–


On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
–


In poor weather conditions.
–


In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver

.
–

Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.
–


When using snow chains or non-slip
covers.

159
Driving
6This 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 controls the vehicle's
acceleration and deceleration automatically
using only engine braking (as if the driver had
pressed the "-" minus button).


To do this, it uses 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
misinterpreted by the radar (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment of
distance and lead to the vehicle accelerating
or braking inappropriately.

Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts is not sequential.
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control
suspended” following a brief acceleration
by the driver.
“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle detected.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close or at
a slower speed.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control limit being
reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit
adjustment being exceeded and no reaction from
the driver.
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a maximum
difference of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the
cruise speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front. Above this, the system pauses itself if the safety
distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
–

if the vehicle in front slows down too much or
too suddenly
, and the driver does not brake,
–
if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
–

if the system does not slow the vehicle enough
to continue to maintain a safe distance, for
example when descending a steep hill.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
–

Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).
–

V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:


– When following a narrow vehicle.

– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.

– Vehicles entering a corner.
– V ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Cases where the driver is urged to take back
control immediately:
–

When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
–


Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle
in front of you.
The adaptive cruise control operates by day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
