DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (10/10)
Rear wheel steering
On equipped vehicles, this system,
when the vehicle is being driven, steers
the rear wheels according to driving
conditions: at low speed this system
offers manoeuvrability, at higher speeds
it optimises stability.
When driving at low speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to
the front wheels (figure A) to increase
the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. This is
used when driving in towns, on winding
roads, during parking manoeuvres, etc. When driving at higher speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the same direction as
the front wheels (figure B
) to optimise
the vehicle’s stability. This is useful
when changing lanes or when corner-
ing etc.
Note: The system configuration (agil-
ity, etc.) depends on the mode selected
in the “Multi-sense” menu (please refer
to the information on “Multi-sense” in
Section 3). Operating faults
– If the
© warning light, together
with the message “Check power
steering”, is displayed on the instru-
ment panel: please contact an au-
thorised dealer.
– If the warning light
®, together
with the message “Power steering
fault”, is displayed on the instrument
panel, this indicates a fault in the
system.
AB
® requires you to stop
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Contact an approved
Dealer.
An impact to the underside of the
vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.:
deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (4/7)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
When exceeding this speed, the crui-
sing speed and the following bars are
shown in red, and the cruising speed
flashes on the instrument panel: the
distance control function is no longer
active.
Then, release the accelerator: cruise
and distance control will automatically
reactivate unless the function has been
set to standby.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if:
– you press switch 4 (O);
– you depress the brake pedal;
– you depress the clutch pedal;
– you use the gear lever;
– the vehicle speed is lower than 25 mph (40 km/h) or over 100 mph
(160 km/h);
– the engine speed is too low or too high;
– certain driver correction devices and aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)
In the latter three cases, the message
“Adaptive cruise Adaptive cruise” is dis-
played on the instrument panel when
the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch
3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above around 30 mph (50 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control is set to
standby, pressing switch 2, side a (+),
reactivates the cruise control function
without taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the vehi-
cle is moving that is taken into account.
