DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/12)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decele-
ration. Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trigge-
red;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/3)
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle’s speed is between approxima-
tely 30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h
(87 mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed
in the front and rear bumper of both
sides.

Using the sensor 1 , this function noti-
fies the driver about the time interval
separating them from the vehicle in
front, so they can respect a safe dis-
tance between the two vehicles.
Note: make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
The function is activated when the vehi-
cle speed is between about 20 and
125 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.
You can access menu “Driving as-
sistance” directly from button 3

This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
this function is not under
any circumstances in-
tended to replace the due care and
attention of the driver, who should at
all times be in control of the vehicle.

2.49
OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling.Special situations
– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-
try where the speed units differ from
those of the vehicle, the system dis-
plays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed
limit converted to the unit used by the
vehicle’s instrument panel.
– For countries where the speed limit is reduced during rainy weather on
some types of roads, the system can
modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
– The system does not take into ac- count exceptional speed limit meas-
ures, such as peak pollution days.
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
1Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1 , attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen is not
obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).
The system also uses information from
other vehicle systems (navigation GPS,
etc.).
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.

2.52
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake). Cruise control
must not be used in heavy traffic, on
undulating or slippery roads (black
ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during
bad weather (fog, rain, side winds
etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Controls for:
a cruising speed activation, storage
and increase (+) ;
b decreasing cruising speed (-).
3 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).
4 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (1/7)
When traffic conditions permit (large
free-flowing road or motorway), the
adaptive cruise control gives you
the option of maintaining a chosen
speed, known as cruise control, adjus-
table from 30 mph to 90 mph (50 and
140 km/h), while keeping a following
distance from the vehicle in front in the
same lane.
The sensor has a range of 120 metres.
Note: The driver should take into ac-
count the maximum speed limit in their
location.
Note: The adaptive cruise control can
brake the vehicle up to a third of the
braking capacity. Depending on the
situation, the driver may need to brake
harder.
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
The adaptive cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffic, on
winding or slippery roads (black ice,
aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad
weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Sensor location
Make sure that the sensor 1 is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.

2.58
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.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no moving obstacles (such as a
child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

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.
