ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING

(10/11)

Active emergency braking

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care

and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be

delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-

ing wheel, pedals etc.).

System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera or radar alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be af-

fected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar-camera or radar are located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.)

must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo-

cated in a snowy area etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.49

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING

(11/11)

Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.
– The radar-camera area on the windscreen should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the

proper operation of the system.

– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.
– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice etc.).
– To ensure correct operation, System B needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the system cannot

detect:

- Pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;
- Partially visible pedestrians;
- Pedestrians less than approximately 80cm tall;
- Pedestrian carrying large objects;

Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on this area of the windscreen; have it changed by an

Authorised Dealer).

Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avoid-

ance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

(1/3)

This function is a driving aid in the event of the accidental crossing of

a continuous or broken line in the road. However, the function is not in-

tended to replace the driver. The function can be disrupted under certain

conditions, including:

– poor visibility (rain, snow, fog, dirty windscreen, glare of the sun, partially ob-

scured road lines, etc.);

– roads with tight bends;

– closely following a vehicle in the same lane;

– worn road markings, difficult to distinguish or spaced very widely apart;

– narrow roads;

– ...
In this case, the line visibility indicators remain uncoloured on the instrument

panel to indicate that the function will not operate (lines not detected).
Under no circumstances should this function replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst performing manoeuvres.

This system notifies the driver when

they accidentally cross a continuous or

broken line.

This function uses a camera attached

to the windscreen, behind the rear-view

mirror.

etc.).
It analyses driver behaviour and takes

account of events to inform you of any

risk of fatigue such as:
– steering wheel movement;
– driver actions on other devices (indi-

cators, windscreen washer etc.);

– time spent driving without stopping;
– ...

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid in case of

risk of fatigue. This function

does not take the place of

the driver.

Under no circumstances should this

function replace the driver’s care or

responsibility whilst driving.

This function is an addi-

tional aid which indicates

other vehicles in the blind

spot area.

It can never in any case be a subs-

titute for care nor for the driver’s

responsibility while in charge of his

vehicle.
The driver should always look out

for sudden hazards during driving:

make sure while manoeuvring that

there are no moving or movable ob-

jects (such as a child, an animal, a

pushchair or a bicycle) or small or

narrow obstacles (such as a boulder

or a post) in the blind spot area.

BLIND SPOT WARNING

(3/4)

Operation

This function will indicate:
– when the vehicle speed is between

approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) and

140 km/h (87 mph);

– when another vehicle is in the blind

spot area and travelling in the same

direction as your vehicle.

If another vehicle is being overtaken,

the indicator 6 will be activated only if

that vehicle remains in the blind spot for

more than one second.

Indicator 6

An indicator light 6 is located on each

door mirror 7.
Note: Clean the door mirrors 7 regu-

larly, so that the indicator lights 6 can

be seen properly.

Display B

The function is activated and has not

detected any vehicles.

Display C

Initial warning: the indicator light 6

shows that a vehicle has been detected

in the blind spot.

Display D

When the direction indicator is activa-

ted, the indicator light 6 flashes when a

vehicle is detected in the blind spot on

the side towards which you are about to

steer. If you cancel the direction indica-

tor, the function will return to the initial

warning (display C).

Operating faults

If the system detects a fault, the mes-

sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-

played on the instrument panel. Consult

an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the

indicator light 6 (display B) flashes

three times. It is normal.

– The system’s detection

range operates according

to a standard lane width. If

you are driving in wide traf-

fic lanes, the system might not

be able to detect a vehicle in the

blind spot.

– The system might be disrupted

momentarily if it is exposed to

strong electromagnetic waves

(as beneath high-tension power

lines) or to very poor weather

conditions (heavy rain, snow,

etc.). Remain aware of driving

conditions.

There is a risk of accidents.

BLIND SPOT WARNING

(4/4)

Because sensors have

been installed in the bump-

ers, any work (repairs, re-

placements, touching up of

paintwork) must be carried out by a

qualified professional.

2.59

Operating principle

The system detects speed limit signs

on the side of the road and displays the

speed limit.

It mainly uses information taken from

the camera 1, attached to the wind-

screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not

obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,

the system also uses information from

the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you

can adjust the speed limiter indication

displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed

limit, the sign display is modified (the

characters change to red or the circle

around the sign flashes) no notify you.

OVERSPEED ALERT

(1/3)

The overspeed alert with signage panel

recognition notifies the driver that they

are exceeding the speed limit for the

section of road on which they are cur-

rently travelling.

For vehicles equipped with a navigation

system and if the vehicle is travelling in

a country where the speed units differ

from those of the vehicle, the system

displays the speed limit sign in the unit

of the country, alongside the speed limit

converted to the unit used by the vehi-

cle’s instrument panel.
For countries where the speed limit is

reduced during rainy weather on some

types of roads, on vehicles equipped

with a navigation system, the system

can modify the limited speed after a few

seconds of wiping the windscreen.

Special situations
The system does not take into account

exceptional speed limit measures, such

as peak pollution days.

2.61

OVERSPEED ALERT

(3/3)

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any

circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-

gardless of the system indications.
The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detect

other signs.
The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system

and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.
In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system

may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.
The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of

the system indications.

Operating fault

The system cannot detect the speed

limit if:
– the windscreen is not clean;
– the camera is blinded by the sun;
– there is insufficient visibility (night,

fog, etc.);

– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.)

or are hidden (by another vehicle or

by trees);

– the information taken from the navi-

gation system is not up to date.

2.62

SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (1/3)

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side



. The indica-

tor light



comes on, lit orange, and

the message “Speed limiter” appears

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by dashes to indicate that the speed

limiter function is activated and waiting

to store a limited speed.

To store the current speed, press the

switch 2 on side a (+): the limited speed

will replace the dashes.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Controls for:

a speed limiter activation, memory

and increase (+);

b decreasing the speed limiter (-).
3 Activation and recall of memorised

limited speed (R).

4 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

The speed limiter function helps you

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

If you wish, you can associate the

speed limiter and the “Overspeed

alert” function (please refer to the in-

formation on the “Overspeed alert”

in Section 2).

SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (2/3)

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any time. To do this: press the accel-

erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond

the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the

speed limiter flashes red on the instru-

ment panel.
Then, release the accelerator: the

speed limiter function will return as

soon as you reach a speed lower than

the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limited speed: the memorised speed

flashes red on the instrument panel and

a beep sounds at regular intervals to

inform you.

Varying the limit speed

The speed limiter can be changed by

repeatedly pressing the switch 2:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.
