Cruise control
WARNI NG
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’s speed at the value programmed by the driver (speed setting), without the use of the accelerator pedal.Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must be engaged.With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.With a drive selector, mode D or B must be engaged.
NOTIC E
Cruise control remains active after changing gear, regardless of the gearbox type, on engines fitted with Stop & Start.
NOTIC E
Switching off the ignition cancels any speed setting.

► Press 4 to restart cruise control. Cruise control may have been paused automatically:• When the inter-vehicle distance threshold is reached.• When the distance between your vehicle and the one in front becomes too short.• When the vehicle starts moving too slowly or the vehicle in front starts moving too slowly.• When the VSC system is triggered.
W ARNI NG
When the driver attempts to reactivate cruise control, after the function has been paused, the message "Activation not possible, unsuitable conditions" is briefly displayed if reactivation is not possible (safety conditions not met).

► Press 5 to accept the speed setting proposed by the system on the instrument panel or touch screen, then press again to confirm.
WARNI NG
To prevent any sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, select a speed setting fairly close to the current speed of
your vehicle.
Changing the inter-vehicle distance
► Press 6 to display the distance setting thresholds ("Distant", "Normal" or "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
► Depress the accelerator pedal. Distance monitoring and cruise control are deactivated as long as you continue to accelerate. The speed on the instrument panel flashes.

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.).– Vehicles 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.– Vehicles 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.
NOTIC E
The adaptive cruise control operates by day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
WARNI NG
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 difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front becomes too great.
WARNI NG
If the difference between the programmed speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is automatically deactivated.

The screen is divided into two parts with a contextual view and a view from above the vehicle in its close surroundings.The parking sensors supplement the information on the view from above the vehicle.Various contextual views may be displayed:– Standard view.– 180° view.– Zoom view.AUTO mode is activated by default.In this mode, the system chooses to display the best view (standard or zoom).You can change the type of view at any time during a manoeuvre.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at low speed.An image from above your vehicle in its close surroundings is reconstructed (represented between the brackets) in real time and as the manoeuvre progresses.It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear at a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).
You can choose the display mode at any time by pressing this area.When the sub-menu is displayed, select one of the four views:"Standard view".
"180° view".
"Zoom view".
"AUTO mode".

NOTIC E
The function will be deactivated:– If a trailer is attached or a bicycle carrier is fitted on a towing device (vehicle fitted with a towing device installed in line with the manufacturer's recommendations).– Above about 6 mph (10 km/h).– When the boot is opened.
– Upon changing out of reverse gear (the image remains displayed for 7 seconds).– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left corner of the touch screen.
AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default.Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic view changes from the rear view (standard) to the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is approached at the level of the red line (less than 30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the screen.The blue lines 1 represent the width of your vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction changes depending on the position of the steering wheel.The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm (0 ft 11") from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4 represent 1 m and 2 m (3 ft 3" and 6 ft 6"), respectively.This view is available with AUTO mode or in the view selection menu.

Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to create a view from above the rear of the vehicle in its near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.This view is available with AUTO mode or in the view selection menu.
NOTIC E
Obstacles may appear further away than they actually are in reality.It is important to check the sides of the vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the mirrors.The rear parking sensors also provide information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a parking bay, making it possible to see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.This view is available only from the view selection menu.
Quick start mode
This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the contextual view (left-hand part) and the overhead view of the vehicle.A message is displayed advising you to check your vehicle's surroundings before starting the manoeuvre.
