Memorising the speed
setting
This function is additional to the display of
Speed limit recognition . For more information on the Speed
limiter
, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control , refer to the corresponding
sections.
Steering mounted controls
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise control
or the adaptive cruise control.
This speed setting overrides the speed limiter
and/or cruise control’s previous speed setting.

Speed limiter ("LIMIT")
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.
The speed setting value is stored when
the ignition is switched off.

button and the Dynamic
cruise control , refer to the
corresponding section.

Adaptive cruise control
("CRUISE")
This systems allows the vehicle's
speed to be maintained at a value
set by the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The cruise control
selection thumbwheel
must be at the "CRUISE"
position, otherwise the
selection is not taken into
account.
The system is activated
or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration
menu.

In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Active cruise
control".
The state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition.
Steering mounted controls
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set
at " Normal ".
Other wise, the last setting made will be
used when switching on the system.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your
vehicle and the one in front.

vehicle be between 25
mph and 90 mph
(40

control switches to normal cruise control
mode (without automatic regulation of the
safe inter-vehicle distance).
With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear or
higher must be engaged.

As a precaution, it is recommended that
you select a cruise speed setting close to
the current speed of your vehicle.

again to save the speed.
The value appears immediately on the
instrument panel. Using a radar with a range of about 100
metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adjusts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

Changing the inter-vehicle
distance
This value remains in memory, regardless of
the state of the system.In the event of the presence of a vehicle
detected by the inter-vehicle distance
radar, if the speed selected is too far
above the speed of that vehicle, the
system is not activated and the alert
message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until
driving conditions are safe to allow
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting is
memorised when the ignition is
switched off.
Exceeding programmed
speed
F Press button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the 3 levels ("Close",
" Normal ", "Distant "). It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed.
Pause
The adaptive cruise control can be paused

manually with the control, or automatically: -

w
hen an inter-vehicle distance threshold is
reached (calculated according to the relative
speeds of your vehicle and the vehicle in
front and the inter-vehicle distance setting
selected),
-
w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-
w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
-
w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.

exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,

SymbolAssociated message Comment
No vehicle detected: the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar: the system operates as a
standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20
mph (30 km/h))
and then keeps it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to obser ve the programmed
inter-vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than
the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting – 20
mph
(30
km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
