Driving
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The adaptive cruise control system
is a driving aid that cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to observe
speed limits and safety distances, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time,
using the brake or accelerator pedal as
appropriate.
Steering mounted control

setting / Lower the speed setting.
3. Use the current speed as the speed
setting / Raise the speed setting.
4. Pause / Resume cruise control.
5. Use the speed suggested by the speed
limit signs recognition system (MEM).
6. Display and adjustment of the
programmed inter-vehicle distance.
For more information on Recognition of
speed limit signs and recommendation,
refer to the corresponding section.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
bumper.
