DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This device assists the driver when
starting on hills (ascending or descend-
ing). It prevents the vehicle from rolling
forwards or backwards by automatically
applying the brakes when the driver lifts
their foot off the brake pedal to depress
the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling forwards or back-
wards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (1/2)
This function is a driving aid in the event of the accidental crossing o\
f
a continuous or broken line in the road. However, the function is not in-
tended to replace the driver. The function can be disrupted under certain
conditions, including:
– poor visibility (rain, snow, fog, dirty windscreen, glare of the sun, partially ob- scured road lines, etc.);
– roads with tight bends;
– closely following a vehicle in the same lane;
– worn road markings, difficult to distinguish or spaced very widely apart;
– narrow roads;
– ...
In this case, warning light
 on the instrument panel goes out to indicate that
the function will not operate (lines not detected).
Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst performing manoeuvres.
This system notifies the driver when
they accidentally cross a continuous or
broken line.
This function uses a camera attached
to the windscreen, behind the rear-view
mirror.

2.31
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 accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: press the
accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
While driving over the speed limit, the
speed limit flashes on the instrument
panel, the display area A goes red
and, depending on the vehicle, a beep
sounds.
Then, as far as is possible, release
the accelerator pedal: the speed lim-
iter 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
on the instrument panel, the area A
goes red, and depending on the vehi-
cle, a warning beep sounds.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.

Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 5 (R).
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is deacti-
vated when you press switch 4 (O). In
this case, the speed limit will remain
stored and is no longer displayed in
zone 6 and the message “Memorised”
along with the stored speed will appear
on the display.

When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-
activates the function 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 speed limiter function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The in-
strument panel orange indicator light 7
goes out to confirm that the function is
deactivated.

2.33
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.
