The system has a fault.
If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from
the system for a while, they can deactivate it by
pressing the button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The state of the system stays in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions, the
system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the steering
wheel, they must release the pressure to let the
system resume control of the steering, but the
vehicle will not be automatically centred within
the lane.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they
believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that results in cruise
control being paused will also cause the
system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding the
steering wheel, you must reactivate it by
pressing the button again.
Automatic pause
– Triggering of the ESC.
– Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the active lane
departure warning function can take over, and the
system will reactivate itself once the operating
conditions are again met.
In response to action by the driver: suspension
– Activation of the direction indicators.
– Travelling outside the lane limits.
– Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
– Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause
until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator
pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is
depressed).
– Pausing of the cruise control.
– Deactivation of the ASR.
