Memorising speeds
Memorising
this function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the
cruise control (for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for each of the two systems. By default, some speed settings are already memorised.

Active cruise control
this systems allows the vehicle's speed to be
maintained at a value set by the driver.
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.Principles of operation
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts 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 ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
t
h
e
driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the active cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the active cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
the choice between the "active" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the " Driving
assistance " menu.
th

e cruise control selection thumb wheel must
be in the "CR
uI

S
e" p
osition, other wise the
choice will not be taken into account.
Refer to the corresponding section
for information on the operation of the
standard cruise control.
th

e state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition. F

P
ress the button to
change from active
cruise control to
standard cruise
control and vice-
versa.

147
308_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2015
the active cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.
the system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine braking.
the regulation range is limited: there
will no longer be any adjustment of
speed if the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front becomes
too high.
th
e selection of this system deactivates
the display of inter-vehicle time.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
th
e active cruise control is switched on
manually,
it requires that the speed of the vehicle be between
25 mph (40 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
General points
the active cruise control can be paused
manually with the control, or automatically:
-

b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the e SP, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of an action of the electric
parking brake control,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and 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
too low.
th

e active cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
the

inter-vehicle time setting is
memorised when switching off the
ignition.
As well as the engagement of at least third or
fourth gear (depending on engine) on a manual
gearbox.
As well as the engagement of at least second
gear (depending on engine) on an automatic
gearbox.
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph
(150 km/h), the active cruise control switches to
normal cruise control mode (without automatic
adjustment of the safety inter-vehicle distance).
