DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (5/5)
Hill start assistance
This device assists the driver when
starting on hills (ascending or descend-
ing), and the warning light
 may
be displayed on the instrument panel. It
prevents the vehicle from rolling back-
wards by automatically applying the
brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot
off the brake pedal to depress the ac-
celerator 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 released (the vehicle will move ac-
cording 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 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.
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 obs- cured 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
\f 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 res-
ponsibility whilst performing manoeuvres.

2.31

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (1/3)
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the limit speed.Controls
1 or 2 Main “On/Off” switch.
3 Speed limiter activation, memory
and increase (+).
4 Lowers the limited speed (-).
5 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).

2.33
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)
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 3 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 4 (-) to reduce speed.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
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).
The limited speed flashes on the instru-
ment panel and, depending on the ve-
hicle, the display area lights up in red to
inform you that the limit speed is being
exceeded.
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
limit speed: this speed flashes on the
instrument panel and, depending on
the vehicle, the display area will light up
in red.

2.34
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 5 (O). In
this case, the limited speed remains
stored and the message “Memorised”
accompanied by this speed appears on
the instrument panel A.
Depending on the vehicle, when the
function is on standby, this is confirmed
by the message area no longer being
lit orange.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 6 (R).
When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 3 (+) 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 or 2: in this
case a speed is no longer stored. The
orange warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel A goes out, confirming that
the function has stopped.

2.35
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 or 2 Main “On/Off” switch.
3 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
4 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).
6 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 or 2,  side.
Warning light
 comes on, lit green,
and the message “Cruise ctrl” appears
on the instrument panel A, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx. 18
mph (30 km/h)), press switch 3 (+): the
function is activated and the current
speed is saved. The cruising speed re-
places the dashes and the activation of
the cruise control is confirmed, depend-
ing on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.
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.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– 5 switch (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In these three cases, the cruising
speed remains stored and the mes-
sage “Memorised” accompanied by this
speed appears on the instrument panel.
Switching to standby is confirmed, de-
pending on the vehicle:
– by the disappearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area no longer being lit up in green.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
The cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel and, depending on the
vehicle, the display area lights up in
red to inform you that the limit speed is
being exceeded.
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: this speed flashes on
the instrument panel and, depending
on the vehicle, the display area will light
up in red.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 3 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 4 (-) to reduce speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

2.38
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 3
(+) reactivates the cruise control
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 cruise control function is stopped
if you press switch 1 or 2: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
warning light
 on the instrument
panel A goes out, confirming that the
function is stopped.
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 6 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed, the
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed, depending on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.
