Memorising speeds
Touch screen
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.

Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
the display by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
This system allows the maximum authorised
speed to be displayed in the instrument panel,
according to the speed limits in the country in
which you are driving, using: -

S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-
S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The speed limit units (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in. The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
The system may not display the speed
limit if it does not detect a speed limit sign
within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Adaptive cruise control
This system provides the following
functions:
-
A
utomatically maintains the vehicle
at the speed set by the driver.
-

A
utomatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle and
the one in front.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox or with the
BlueHDi 150 S&S EAT6 engine, automatic
adjustment can cause your vehicle to come to a
complete stop.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle (with
the EAT8 automatic gearbox or the BlueHDi
150 S&S EAT6 engine), using engine braking
and the braking system.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the 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 cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle. This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding both hands on the
steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.
