active cruise control
This systems allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you
h
ave defined, the inter-vehicle time you have
s
elected between your vehicle and the one
a
head to be maintained.Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located at the front of the vehicle, this system
d
etects a vehicle running in front of your
v
ehicle.
It
automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
t
o that of the vehicle in front.
If
the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
t
he system progressively reduces the speed of
y
our vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
d
river had pressed the "-"
button).
If
your vehicle is too close to or approaching
t
oo quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
c
ontrol is automatically deactivated. The
d
river is then alerted by an audible signal,
a
ccompanied by a message.
If
the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
l
ane, the active cruise control progressively
a
ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
s
peed.
If
the driver operates a direction indicator to
t
he left (left hand drive) or the right (right hand
d
rive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the active
c
ruise control allows your vehicle to temporarily
a
pproach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
ma
noeuvre,
t
hough
n
ever
e
xceeding
t
he programmed speed. The active cruise control operates by
day
and at night, in fog or in moderate
r
ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking.
The
regulation range is limited: there will
n
o longer be any adjustment of speed if the
d
ifference between the programmed speed
s
etting and the speed of the vehicle in front
b
ecomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
The selection of this system deactivates the inter-vehicle time function.
If
the difference between the
p
rogrammed speed setting and the
s
peed of the vehicle in front is too
g
reat, the speed cannot be adjusted:
t
he cruise control is automatically
d
eactivated.Choice of the type of cruise control
If you want to use the standard cruise control, it is possible to deactivate the active cruise
control in the " Driving assistance "
menu of
t
he the touch screen tablet.
On
pressing the button, the green
i
ndicator lamp goes off.
The
standard cruise control is available.
Refer to the previous section for the
details
of the operation of the standard
c
ruise control.
This
is confirmed by the display of
t
his symbol in the control.
You can return to the active cruise
control
at any time by pressing this
bu
tton
ag
ain.

The active cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires that the speed of the vehicle b
e between 25 mph (40 km/h) and 90 mph
(
150 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear or higher with a manual
g
earbox,
-
s
econd gear or higher with an electronic or
a
utomatic gearbox in manual mode,
-
p
osition A with an electronic gearbox or D
with
an automatic gearbox.
General points
The active cruise control can above be paused
using the control, or automatically:
-
b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-
i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
s
afety reasons,
-
i
n the event of operation of the electric
p
arking brake control lever,
-
w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
r
eached (calculated according to the
r
elative speeds of your vehicle and the
v
ehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
se
tting
c
hosen),
-
w
hen the distance between your vehicle
a
nd the one in front becomes to small,
-
w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
to low,
-
w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
t
oo low. The active cruise control cannot in any
circumstances
replace the observation
o
f speed limits, nor the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
