The speed regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front. Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low. The active cruise control uses only engine braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing the accelerator pedal. The system is paused automatically: - if the vehicle in front slows down to much or too suddenly, and the driver does not brake, - if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, - if the system does not slow the vehicle enough to continue to maintain a safe distance, for example when descending a steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
The cruise control does not take account of: - stationary vehicles, - vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
- vehicles of reduced width, such as motorcycles, for example,
- vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
- vehicles entering a corner, - vehicles changing lane at the last moment.

Reversing camera
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. Depending on version, the image is displayed in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
The superimposed representation of guide lines helps with the manoeuvre. They are represented by lines marked "on the ground" and do not allow the position of the vehicle to be determined relative to tall obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to the width of your vehicle without the mirrors). The red lines represent a distance of about 30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear b u m p e r. The green lines represent distances of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear bumper. The turquoise blue curves represent the maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The reversing camera function may be completed with parking sensors.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to disappear.
High pressure jet washing When washing your vehicle, do not direct the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
