[. . . ] 5 Main “On/Off” switch. This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility 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. The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system. 2. 32 Cruise control/speed limiter: cruise control function (2/4) Driving A Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. 1 2 3 4 5 Switching on Press switch 5 on the side showing . Activating cruise control At a steady speed (above 20 mph (30 km/h) approximately) press switch 1 (+): the current speed is stored. The cruising speed replaces the dashes and the activation of the cruise control is confirmed, depending on the vehicle: – by the appearance of the ing light; The  warning light comes on, lit green, and the message “Cruise control” appears on instrument panel A, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the cruise control function is activated and waiting to store a cruising speed.  warn- – or by the message area lighting up in green. sary. Important: you are nevertheless advised to keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react if neces- 2. 33 Cruise control/speed limiter: cruise control function (3/4) Exceeding the cruising speed The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal. Putting the function on standby The function is suspended when you: – press switch 3 (O); – depress the brake pedal; – depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an automatic gearbox. In these three cases, the cruising speed remains stored and the message “Memorised” accompanied by this speed appears on the instrument panel. Switching to standby is confirmed, depending on the vehicle: – by the disappearance of the  warning light; – or by the message area no longer being lit up in green. 1 2 3 4 The cruising speed flashes on the instrument 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 automatically 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. 5 Adjusting the cruising speed The cruising speed may be changed by pressing the following repeatedly: – switch 1 (+) to increase the speed, – switch 2 (-) to decrease the speed. The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system. 2. 34 Cruise control/speed limiter: cruise control function (4/4) Switching off the function A The cruise control function is deactivated if you press switch 5: in this case a speed is no longer stored. The green  indicator light on the instrument panel A goes out to confirm that the function is deactivated. 1 2 3 4 5 Returning to the cruising speed If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc. ). Press switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is above 20 mph (30 km/h). When recalling the stored speed, the activation of the cruise control is confirmed, depending on the vehicle: – by the appearance of the ing light; Note: if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold.  warn- – or by the message area lighting up in green. When the cruise control function is put on standby, pressing switch 1 (+) 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. 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. 2. 35 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4) Operating principle Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the front or rear bumper depending on the vehicle, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing. 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 centimetres from the obstacle. Note: display 1 shows the vehicle surroundings using beeps. 1 Rear parking distance control Operation When reverse gear is selected, most objects which are less than approximately 1. 20 metres from the rear of the vehicle are detected, a beep sounds and, depending on the vehicle, display 1 lights up. Automatic deactivation of the rear parking distance control The system deactivates: – when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h); – when reverse gear is disengaged. This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals. Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing. The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: 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. 2. 36 PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4) 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 approximately 60 centimetres away from the front of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted. Depending on the vehicle, the red zone of the display  1 lights up - see the following page. Note: when manoeuvring, the object detection area switches to approximately one metre. If there are obstacles located close to both the front and rear of the vehicle, only the closest of the two will be acknowledged and the corresponding front or rear beep sound will be emitted.
