er the outline, the closer the vehicle in
front.
Setting the cruising speed
Youcanvarythespeedbypressingre-
peatedly (for low variation) or pressing
and holding (for high variation) the
control 6 :
– downwards: (SET/-) to decrease the
speed;
– upwards (SET/+) to increase the
speed.
Adjusting the following distance
You can vary the safe distance from
the vehicle in front at any time by
pressing switch 8 repeatedly.
The horizontal distance gauge on the
instrument panel indicates the various
available safe distances:
– distance gauge G : long distance
(corresponding to approximately 2.4
seconds);
– distance gauge F :intermediatedis-
tance2(correspondingtoapproxi-
mately 2 seconds);
– distance gauge E :intermediatedis-
tance1(correspondingtoapproxi-
mately 1.6 second);
– distance gauge D : short distance
(corresponding to approximately 1.2
seconds).
The selected distance gauge appears
in green on the instrument panel. The
other gauges remain in grey.
Note:thedistancemustbesetaccord-
ing to the traffic level, local regulation
and weather conditions.
Thesafedistanceisadjust-
edbydefaultonthedis-
tance gauge F .
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by applying the accelerator
pedal.
If it is exceeded, the cruising speed 10
appears in yellow.
If the driver presses the accelerator
pedal, the "Distance Control" function
will no longer operate.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
the cruise control and safe distance
control will automatically resume the
speed and distance instructions that
you had previously selected.
Overtaking manoeuvre
If you want to overtake the vehicle in
front and your speed is over 43 mph
(70 km/h) only, activating the direction
indicatorstemporarilyreducesthefol-
lowingdistanceandtriggersaccelera-
tion to facilitate overtaking.
Stopping the vehicle and setting
off
If the vehicle in front slows down, the
system adapts its speed to bring the
vehicle to a complete stop if necessary
(e.g. in heavy traffic). The vehicle
stops a few metres from the vehicle in
front.
When the vehicle in front sets off
again:
– if the stop lasts for less than thirty
seconds, the vehicle will start again
