Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.
CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
67
Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 18 mph (30
km/h approximately)) press switch 2
or (+): the function is activated and the
current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and the cruise control is confirmed by
the appearance of a message on the
instrument panel and warning light 7 lit
green, as well as warning light 6.

The cruise control switches to standby each time the ECO mode is activat\
ed or
deactivated. Please refer to the information on “ECO mode function”\
in Section 2.

CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

2.19
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 and  indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con-
firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-
dition that you are driving faster than
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
that you are sure that the driving condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface
condition, weather conditions, etc.).
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
 warning light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in-
strument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the
screen
1 shows the vehicle surround-
ings alongside the beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pra\
m or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your p\
ath when
manoeuvring.

Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault there will be a 3-second contin-
uous beep as a warning. Please see an
authorised dealer.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
2
Prolonged deactivation of the
system
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch
remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
