Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts
is not sequential.
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control

by the driver.

“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control limit being
reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic

the driver.
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a maximum
di󰀨erence of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the
cruise speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system pauses itself if the safety
distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
– if the vehicle in front slows down too much or
too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,
– if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
– if the system does not slow the vehicle enough
to continue to maintain a safe distance, for
example when descending a steep hill.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
– Stationary vehicles (tra󰀩c jam, breakdown,
etc.).
– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
– When following a narrow vehicle.
– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.
– Vehicles entering a corner.
– Vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Cases where the driver is urged to take back
control immediately:
– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
– Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle
in front of you.
The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or 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
di󰀨erence between the programmed speed
