CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the acce-
lerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
speed limiter flashes red on the instru-
ment panel.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limited speed: the stored speed flashes
red on the instrument panel and a beep
sounds at regular intervals to inform
you.
Varying the limit speed
The speed limiter can be changed by
repeatedly pressing switch 2 :
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal
will allow you to exceed the program-
med speed except in an emergency
(refer to information on “Exceeding the
limit speed”).
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the bra-
king system.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While overtaking, the cruis-
ing speed flashes red on the instrument
panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradi-
ent, the system is unable to maintain
the cruising speed: the stored speed is
flashes red on the instrument panel to
inform you of this situation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
If a following distance is stored and a
vehicle travelling slower than yours is
detected by the system in your lane,
your vehicle will brake (with the brake
lights on) and adapt its speed to that of
the vehicle in front, respecting the fol-
lowing distance selected previously.
Overtaking
If your speed is lower than the cruise
control and you wish to perform an
overtaking manoeuvre, activating the
direction indicator will provide acceler-
ation enabling the overtaking manoeu-
vre.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (3/7)
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Varying the following
distance
You can vary the following distance
from the vehicle in front at any time by
pressing switch 6 repeatedly.
Horizontal following bars will be dis-
played on the instrument panel, indicat-
ing the following distance selected:
– one bar for a short distance (cor- responding to a following time of
around one second);
– two bars for a medium distance;
– three bars for a long distance (cor- responding to a following time of
around two seconds).
Choosing the distance should depend
on the traffic, the laws in your country,
and on the weather conditions.
If a vehicle is detected by the system in
your lane, an outline A of a vehicle will
appear above the following bars.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (5/7)Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 5: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
 indicator light and the message
”Adaptive cruise ctrl” on the instrument
panel go out to confirm that the function
is deactivated.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to reach this
threshold.
Under certain conditions (coming up
behind a vehicle moving more slowly,
rapid change of lane of vehicles in
front, etc.), the system may not have
time to respond and may emit a beep
alongside the alert A when the situation
requires the driver’s attention, or the
alert B when the situation requires im-
mediate action from the driver.
React accordingly and perform the ap-
propriate manoeuvres.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (6/7)
This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the
due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.
The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle dete\
ctor or an anti-collision system.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and \
its operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any servicing on the bumper (replacement, repair, paint retouching, etc.) should be undertaken by a qualified professio\
nal. Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
System disturbance
In a complex environment (metal bridge, etc.), the system may be affected.
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.62
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (7/7)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (vehicles at a standstill, traffic jams, toll booths, etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a\
small size
(motorbikes, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be detected by the s\
ystem.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entere\
d the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the sensor may temporarily no longer dete\
ct the vehicle in front, and this may lead to ac- celeration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause\
a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav- elling too close to the lane of the other.
– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must \
react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the \
system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
Deactivating the function
The function should be deactivated if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the bumper has suffered an impact or damage;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– traffic is heavy;
– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;
– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;
– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditio\
ns (fog, snow, rain, side winds, etc.).
If the driver notices abnormal system behaviour, please consult an authorised dealer.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
4 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on the multifunc-
tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle
trajectory according to the position of
the steering wheel.
Special feature
Make sure that the camera is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operation
When you change to reverse gear, the
camera 1 located on the tailgate pro-
vides a view of the area behind the
vehicle on the multimedia screen 2,
accompanied by one or two fixed or
moving guide lines 3 and 4.
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately. Fixed gauge 3
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers
A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.

Check that warning light P
on the instrument panel and
the warning light integrated
on the button 2 are acti-
vated before leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle
To disengage position P
(button 2)
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, depress the brake pedal and
move the selector to the desired posi-
tion R, N or D.
If the brake pedal is not fully depressed,
the message “Push brake pedal” the
warning light
 are displayed on the
instrument panel.
When position R or D is disengaged,
N is displayed on the instrument panel
and the warning light on button 2 goes
out.
Note:
– If the driver opens their door to leave the vehicle while position P has not
been engaged, a beep sounds and
the message “P not engaged” is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
– Warning light
 comes on each
time it is necessary to depress the
brake pedal to change the position
of the automatic gearbox.
In the event of the mes-
sage “Check auto gearbox”,

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/6)
Driving in automatic mode
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or R, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then back, and release.
If one of the conditions is not applied,
D flashes for around 5 seconds and
the message “Push brake pedal” is dis-
played on the instrument panel for ap-
proximately 15 seconds.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
Note: With the engine running and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
R , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage position D. This
is useful during parking manoeuvres
requiring a number of alternate forward
and reverse movements. Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position
D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal briskly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
point of resistance).
It is also possible to change down at
any time for overtaking purposes, by
pushing the selector to position “ -”.
To select reverse gear
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or D, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then forwards, and release.
If the brake pedal is not depressed, a
beep will sound, the display of position
R flashes for around 5 seconds in the
grid shown on the instrument panel,
and a message “Push brake pedal” is
displayed for around 15 seconds.
Note: With the engine running, and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
D , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage R. This is useful
during parking manoeuvres requiring
a number of alternate forward and re-
verse movements.

2.78
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (5/6)
Special cases
As position P is automatically en-
gaged when the engine is stopped, it is
sometimes necessary to place the vehi-
cle in position N for some car washes,
for example.
Position N can be engaged before
opening the driver’s door, and a maxi-
mum of around 25 seconds after the
engine is stopped.
After this time or after opening the
driver’s door, it will be necessary to turn
on the ignition again to disengage posi-
tion P.
In the event of a loss of in-
formation on the instrument
panel, stop and immobilise
the vehicle using the elec-
tronic parking brake or button P.
Special cases
In certain driving cases (eg: protect-
ing the engine), a gear change can be
performed automatically in the event of
over-revving or approaching under-rev-
ving. Permanent manual mode remains
activated. Similarly, to avoid making the
"wrong move", a gear change may be
refused by the gearbox. In this case,
the display for the requested gear + or –
flashes for a few seconds to warn you.
Parking the vehicleUpon stopping the engine by press-
ing the engine stop button, position P
is automatically engaged, along with
the electronic parking brake for vehi-
cles equipped with this device. P is dis-
played on the instrument panel and the
warning light on button P comes on.
Never leave the vehicle with
the engine running without
previously engaging the
Park position P.
With the engine running, the automatic
gearbox in D or R or N or M and with-
out your foot on the brake, messages
“P not engaged” and “Select P” are dis-
played on the instrument panel as soon
as the driver’s door is open.
With the engine stopped, the automatic
gearbox in N (neutral), the message “P
not engaged” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Special feature related to the Stop and Start function: if you are going\
to unfasten the driver's seat belt before the
engine goes into standby due to the Stop and Start function, make sure t\
he gearbox is in position P. The P warning
light will light up on the instrument panel to confirm this. Risk of loss of immobilisation.
