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 Limit speed activation, storage and
increase switch (+).
3 Decrease cruising speed (-).
4 Switch the function to standby
(with memorisation of the gov-
erned cruising speed) (O).
5 Activation with recall of stored gov-
erned cruising speed (R).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing .
Warning light 7 comes on, lit green, and
the message “Cruise control” appears
on the instrument panel and dashes
appear in zone 6 to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/h) approximately) press
switch 2 (+): the speed is stored. The
cruising speed will appear in zone 6.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when area A lights up green in addition
to indicator light 7. Area B also lights
up green to indicate that the cruising
speed has been reached.
Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.

Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– press switch 4 (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored, it is no longer displayed in
zone 6 and the message “Memorised”
along with the stored speed will appear
on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when zones A, B
and C go out.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. The cruising speed flashes
on the instrument panel along with the
illumination of zone C in red.
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 gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed on the
instrument panel will flash and zone C
will light up in red to inform you of this
situation.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+)
reactivates the cruise control func-
tion without taking into account the
stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The instru-
ment panel green indicator light 7 and
zones A , B and C go out, confirming
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.

Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.).
Press switch 5 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed
zone A lights up to confirm activation.
Zone B lights up as soon as the cruis-
ing speed is reached.

Rear parking distance controlOperation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of
the vehicle are detected and a beep
sounds.
Operating principleUltrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-
versing.
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 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Note: the display 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings in conjunction with the
beeps.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gearstick has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
1
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.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than around
1 metre away from the front of the ve-
hicle are detected and a beep sounds.
The display 1 comes on.
Note: The display 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings and emits beeps.
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been
shifted to N or P for automatic gear-
boxes; If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac-
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit-
ted. If obstacles are detected both at
the front and rear of the vehicle at the
same time, and they are both less than
30 centimetres away from the vehicle,
the corresponding front and rear beeps
will be emitted alternately.1
