A
A
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle’s speed is between approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h
(87 mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed in
the front and rear bumper of both sides.Special feature
Make sure that the sensors are not obs-
cured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
If a sensor is obscured, the message
“Blind spotclean sensor” will appear on
the instrument panel. Clean the sen-
sors.
This function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driving:
always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pushchair, bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in the blind spot
when manoeuvring.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (3/4)
Operation
This function will indicate:
– when the vehicle speed is between approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) and
140 km/h (87 mph);
– when another vehicle is in the blind spot area and travelling in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If another vehicle is being overtaken,
the indicator 6 will be activated only if
that vehicle remains in the blind spot for
more than one second.
Display B
The function is activated and has not
detected any vehicles.
Display C
First warning: the indicator 4 means
that a vehicle has been detected in the
blind spot.
Display D
When the direction indicator is activa-
ted, the indicator light 6 flashes when a
vehicle is detected in the blind spot on
the side towards which you are about to
steer. If you cancel the direction indica-
tor, the function will return to the initial
warning (display C).
7
Note: the system’s detection range
operates according to a standard
lane width. If you are driving in
narrow traffic lanes, it may detect
vehicles in other lanes.

Indicator 6
An indicator light 6 is situated on both
door mirrors 7.
Note: clean the door mirrors 7 regularly
so that the indicators 6 can be seen.

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Call an
approved Dealer.
Note: when the engine is started, the
indicator light 6, display B , flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
Because sensors have
been installed in the bum-
pers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (1/2)
Activating/deactivating the
function
From the multifunction screen 2, select
menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“Distance warning” then choose “ON”
or “OFF”.
1
Using the sensor 1 , this function noti-
fies the driver about the time interval
separating them from the vehicle in
front, so they can respect a safe dis-
tance between the two vehicles.
Note: make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
The function is activated when the vehi-
cle speed is between about 18.6 and
124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.
You can access menu “Driving as-
sistance” directly from button 3
.
23
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
this function is not under
any circumstances in-
tended to replace the due care and
attention of the driver, who should at
all times be in control of the vehicle.

2.48
SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (2/2)
The measurement is dis-
played for information
purposes: the system does
not carry out any action on
the vehicle.
This function is not designed for use
in urban conditions or for a dynamic
driving style (sudden cornering, ac-
celeration, braking etc.).
The function does not interact with
the braking system.
The sensor area should be kept
clean and free of any modifications
to ensure the proper operation of
the system.
Any work in the area where the
radar is located (repairs, replace-
ments, touching up of paintwork)
must be carried out by a qualified
professional.
– C (orange): the time interval falls
between around 1 and 2 seconds (in-
sufficient distance between the two
vehicles);
– D (red): the time interval is less than
or equal to around one second (very
insufficient distance between the two
vehicles).
If the interval between the two vehicles
is less than around 0.5 seconds, war-
ning light 4 will flash on the instrument
panel. Under certain conditions, the
time interval may not be displayed:
– while cornering;
– when changing lane;
– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far or outside the range of the sensor.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.

Operation
Upon activating the function, indicator 4
notifies the driver of the distance sepa-
rating them from the vehicle in front.
– A (grey): function not operational;
– A (green): no vehicle detected;
– B (green): the time interval is greater
than or equal to around two seconds
(distance between the two vehicles
adapted to your speed);
This function is essential if adaptive
cruise control is activated.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (1/3)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on side . The indica-
tor light
 comes on, lit orange, and
the message “Speed limiter” appears
on the instrument panel, accompanied
by dashes to indicate that the speed
limiter function is activated and waiting
to store a limited speed.
To store the current speed, press
switch 2 side a (+): the limited speed
replaces the dashes.
The minimum stored speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Controls for:
a speed limiter activation, memory
and increase (+);
b decreasing the speed limiter (-).
3 Activation and recall of memorised limited speed (R).
4 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the
limit speed.
If you wish, you can associate the
speed limiter and the “Overspeed
alert” function (please refer to the in-
formation on the “Overspeed alert”
in Section 2).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)
Varying the limit speed
The speed limiter can be changed by
repeatedly pressing the switch 2:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal
will allow you to exceed the program-
med speed except in an emergency
(refer to information on “Exceeding the
limit speed”).
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the bra-
king system.

2
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the acce-
lerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
programmed speed displayed on the
instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the memorised speed will
flash on the instrument panel and an
audible signal sounds at regular inter-
vals to inform you of this situation.

2.51
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been saved, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 3 ((R)).
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is sus-
pended when you press switch 4 (O).
In this case, the limit speed remains
stored and the message "Memorised»
accompanied by this speed appears on
the instrument panel.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deac-
tivated if you press switch 1 : in this
case a speed is no longer stored. The
orange instrument panel warning light
 goes out, confirming that the func-
tion is stopped.

When the speed limiter is set to
standby, pressing on the side a (+)
of the switch 2 reactivates the func-
tion without taking into account the
memorised speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.

2.52
OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling.Special situations
– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-
try where the speed units differ from
those of the vehicle, the system dis-
plays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed
limit converted to the unit used by the
vehicle’s instrument panel.
– For countries where the speed limit is reduced during rainy weather on
some types of roads, the system can
modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
– The system does not take into ac- count exceptional speed limit meas-
ures, such as peak pollution days.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
1Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1 , attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen is not
obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,
the system also uses information from
the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.
