programmed by the driver.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter is a driving aid only.
It does not exempt the driver from the
need to obser ve speed limits or to remain
vigilant at all times.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19 mph
(30 km/h).

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver, an audible signal
supplements the alert.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) as well as:
-

setting, the cruise control takes over again: the
speed setting is displayed continuously again. When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
06
Driving

156
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed for a while and at an
adequate safe distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc.
The use of mats not approved by the
manufacturer may interfere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.Lane departure warning
system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger
a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Activation
F When switching on the ignition or with the engine running, press this button to activate
the system; the indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation
F Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-

o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on the
road has been crossed on the right,
-

o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
road has been crossed on the left.
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (arrow) or non-standard marking
(graffiti) is crossed.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the
Ser vice warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
06
Driving

157
Detection may be impeded:
- i f the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
-

i
f the road markings are not clearly
visible,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the road and the road
sur face.Blind spot monitoring
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas hidden from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger. This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It is the
driver's responsibility to constantly check
the traffic, to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles and to
predict their movements before deciding
whether to change lane.
The blind spot monitoring system can
never replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
- i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
- a fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
06
Driving

158
F When switching on the ignition or with the engine running, press this button to activate
the system; the indicator lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry, cycle
– is detected.
For this, the following conditions must be met:
-

a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the same
direction,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

w
hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally, No alert will be given in the following situations:
-

i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,-

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver’s front field of vision,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object.
Operation- in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre, if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer,
