The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually:itrequiresthatthespeedofthe
vehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150km/h),aswellastheengagementof:
- fourthgearorhigherwithamanual
gearbox,
- secondgearorhigherwithanautomatic
gearboxinmanualmode,
- position Dwithanautomaticgearbox.
Thesystemremainsactiveafterchanginggear
onvehicleswithamanualgearboxand
Stop&Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manuallyorautomatically:
- bypressingbutton4,
- bypressingthebrakepedal,
- in the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
- in the event of operation of the electric
parkingbrakecontrollever,
- when an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached(calculatedaccordingtothe
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
settingchosen),
- when the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
- when the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
- when the speed of your vehicle becomes
toolow.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
ofspeedlimits,northeneedforvigilance
onthepartofthedriver.
Itisrecommendedthatyoualwayskeep
yourfeetclosetothepedals.
Ifthespeedsettingselectedisabove
90mph(150km/h),thesystemswitches
to standard cruise control operation,
withnoadjustmentoftheinter-vehicle
safedistance(amessageappearsin
theinstrumentpanel).
Theinter-vehicletimesettingiskeptin
memoryonswitchingofftheignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
dayandatnight,infogorinmoderate
rainfall.
Thesystemdoesnotactonthebraking
system,butworksonlywithenginebraking.
Theregulationrangeislimited:therewill
nolongerbeanyadjustmentofspeedifthe
differencebetweentheprogrammedspeed
settingandthespeedofthevehicleinfront
becomestoohigh(18mph(30km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmedspeedsettingandthe
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great,thespeedcannotbeadjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
