Assistant systems
Eco Assist is available depending on equipment
and not in all countries.
WARNING
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
trac conditions.
●
Trac signs on the road and trac regula-
tions have priority over eco-driving notes.
Note
●
The appearance of the symbols may vary
slightly depending on the equipment and
model. System updates may modify or ex-
pand the symbols.
●
When the system is active, Eco Assist may
also increase recuperation without display-
ing any indication. This can occur in situa-
tions such as when the accelerator pedal is
released when a vehicle is driving in front.
In this case, energy recuperation is adapted
match the speed of the vehicle in front with-
out any indication being displayed.
ACC - Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a
constant speed set by the driver. When ap-
proaching another vehicle in front, the ACC de-
tects it and adapts the speed automatically,
maintaining a distance set by the driver.
Does my vehicle have ACC?
Your vehicle has ACC if it has the ACC func-
tion buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
›››page120, or if it has the configuration menu
in the infotainment system.
Speed range
ACC regulates at speeds between 20 and
210km/h (15 and 130mph).
When Electric mode is activated in hybrid vehi-
cles, the ACC speed range may vary.
If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gear-
box, the ACC can bring the vehicle to a stand-
still if a vehicle in front of it stops.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox,
you should pay attention to gear changes. The
ACC could switch o if the RPM gets too high or
low.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC at any time. Braking
interrupts the ACC. If you accelerate, regulation
is interrupted during acceleration and then re-
sumed.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations inher-
ent to the system. This means that the
driver will have to control the speed and
distance from other vehicles in certain sit-
uations. In this case, the instrument cluster
display will tell you to intervene by ap-
plying the brake, and an audio warning will
be played.
Radar sensors
The ACC uses the front radar technology. Read
its maintenance instructions and information
about its limitations ›››page190.
WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome the
system's inherent limitations or change the
laws of physics. If used negligently or invol-
untarily, it may cause serious accidents and
injuries. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
●
Always be prepared to brake or accelerate.
●
If you press the accelerator pedal the ACC
will stop working. Therefore, it will not brake
or request any braking intervention.
