Renault Megane (2018 year). Instruction — part 11
2.56
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 traffic signage.
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.
OVERSPEED ALERT
(3/3)
Operating faults
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.
2.57
CRUISE CONTROL
(1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion does not take the place
of the driver. Therefore, it
can under no circumstances replace
the driver’s responsibility to respect
speed limits and to be vigilant (the
driver must always be ready to
brake). Cruise control must not be
used in heavy traffic, on winding or
slippery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls

CRUISE CONTROL
(2/4)
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx.
20 mph or 30 km/h), press switch 2
side a (+): the function is activated and
the current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and cruise control is confirmed by dis-
playing of the cruising speed, the mes-
sage “Cruise control” and depending on
the vehicle the indicator light
, in ad-
dition to the indicator light
or
.
If you try to activate the function below
20 mph (30 km/h), the message “Invalid
speed” will be displayed and the func-
tion will remain inactive.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on side
.
The indicator light
or
comes on,
lit green, and the message “Cruise con-
trol” appears on the instrument panel,
accompanied by dashes to indicate that
the cruise control function is activated
and waiting to store a cruising speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
(3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

CRUISE CONTROL
(4/4)
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The switch-
ing off, depending on the vehicle, of the
green indicator light
or of the green
indicator lights
and
, and of the
associated message on the instrument
panel confirm that it is off.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch 3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by displaying of the cruising
speed along with the message “Cruise
control” and, depending on the vehicle,
lighting of the indicator light
.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
side a (+) reactivates the cruise
control function without taking into
account the stored speed: it is the
speed at which the vehicle is moving
that is taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift
into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
The cruising speed is stored and dis-
played on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “Memorised”.
Standby is confirmed by displaying of
cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Memorised” and depending on
the vehicle the indicator light
going
out.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(1/7)
When traffic conditions permit (large
free-flowing road or motorway), the
adaptive cruise control gives you the
option of maintaining a chosen speed,
known as the cruising speed, which can
be set from 31 mph to 87 mph (50 and
140 km/h), or 93 mph (150 km/h) de-
pending on the vehicle, while keeping
a following distance from the vehicle in
front in the same lane.
The sensor has a range of 120 metres.
Note: The driver should take into ac-
count the maximum speed limit in the
country where they are driving.
Note: the adaptive cruise control can
brake the vehicle up to a third of the
braking capacity. Depending on the
situation, the driver may need to brake
harder.
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. This function
does not take the place of
the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
The adaptive cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffic, on
winding or slippery roads (black ice,
aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad
weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Sensor location
Make sure that the sensor 1 is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.
2.62
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and cruise control is confirmed by the
appearance of the message “Adaptive
cruise ctrl” and the warning light
.
If you try to activate the function below
31 mph (50 km/h) or above 87 mph
(140 km/h), or depending on the vehi-
cle, 93 mph (150 km/h), the message
“Invalid speed” is displayed and the
function will remain inactive.
Adjusting the following
distance
Pressing switch 6 multiple times ad-
justs the following distance.
Switching on
Press switch 5. Warning light
comes on, lit green, and the message
“Adaptive cruise ctrl” appears on the

dashes to indicate that the cruise con-
trol function is activated and waiting to
store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approxi-
mately 31 mph (50 km/h)), press
switch 2side a (+): the function is acti-
vated and the current speed is memo-
rised.

Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
If a following distance is stored and a
vehicle travelling slower than yours is
detected by the system in your lane,
your vehicle will brake (with the brake
lights on) and adapt its speed to that of
the vehicle in front, respecting the fol-
lowing distance selected previously.
Overtaking
If your speed is lower than the cruise
control and you wish to perform an
overtaking manoeuvre, activating the
direction indicator will provide acceler-
ation enabling the overtaking manoeu-
vre.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(3/7)
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Varying the following
distance
You can vary the following distance
from the vehicle in front at any time by
pressing switch 6 repeatedly.
Horizontal following bars will be dis-
played on the instrument panel, indicat-
ing the following distance selected:
– one bar for a short distance (cor-
responding to a following time of
around one second);
– two bars for a medium distance;
– three bars for a long distance (cor-
responding to a following time of
around two seconds).
Choosing the distance should depend
on the traffic, the laws in your country,
and on the weather conditions.
If a vehicle is detected by the system in
your lane, an outline C of a vehicle will
appear above the following bars.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(4/7)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
When exceeding this speed, the crui-
sing speed and the following bars are
shown in red, and the cruising speed
flashes on the instrument panel: the
distance control function is no longer
active.
Then, release the accelerator: cruise
and distance control will automatically
reactivate unless the function has been
set to standby.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if:
– you press switch 4 (O);
– you depress the brake pedal;
– you depress the clutch pedal;
– you use the gear lever;
– the vehicle speed is lower than
25 mph (40 km/h) or over 100 mph
(160 km/h);
– the engine speed is too low or too
high;
– certain driver correction devices and
aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)
In the latter three cases, the message
“Adaptive cruise Adaptive cruise” is dis-
played on the instrument panel when
the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch 3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above around 30 mph (50 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control is set to
standby, pressing switch 2, side a (+),
reactivates the cruise control function
without taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the vehi-
cle is moving that is taken into account.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(5/7)
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 5: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
indicator light and the message
"Adaptive cruise ctrl” on the instrument
panel go out to confirm that the function
is deactivated.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to reach this
threshold.
Under certain conditions (coming up
behind a vehicle moving much more
slowly, rapid change of lane of vehi-
cles in front etc.), the system may not
have time to respond and may emit a
beep alongside alert D when situations
require the driver’s attention, or alert E
when situations require immediate
action from the driver.
React accordingly and perform the ap-
propriate manoeuvres.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(6/7)
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 should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector
or an anti-collision system.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and its
operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult
an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements, touch-
ing up of paintwork) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
System disturbance
In a complex environment (metal bridge, etc.), the system may be affected.
Risk of inadvertent braking.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Check cruise control”.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted
(for example: radar obscured by
dirt, mud, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the detection zone of
the radar. When you next start the
engine, the warning light and the
message go out.
– Otherwise, this may be caused by
another fault. Consult an approved
dealer
2.67
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(7/7)
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 sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a small size (motor-
bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entered the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may
then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the sensor may temporarily no longer detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead to acce-
leration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take
place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav-
elling too close to the lane of the other.
– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– traffic is heavy;
– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;
– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;
– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditions (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
2.68
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL
(1/5)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

2.69
Operation
Most objects located less near the
front, rear and sides of the vehicle are
detected.
Depending on the distance of the ob-
stacle, the frequency of the beep will
be higher while approaching it, and will
become a solid beep around 20 cm for
obstacles to the sides, and 30 cm for
obstacles to the front or rear. Green,
orange and red zones will be displayed
on the display C.

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle
surroundings and emits beeps.
It is necessary to travel a few metres
before the side detection is activated.
If all areas have a grey background, the
whole area around the vehicle is being
monitored:
– A: analysis of the vehicle surround-
ings in progress;
– B: analysis of the vehicle surround-
ings carried out
2.70
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Detection of obstacles to the side
Depending on the direction of the
wheels, the system determines the tra-
jectory of the vehicle and notifies the
driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-
lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of
the vehicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL
(3/5)
If a side obstacle is detected:
– the beeps become faster and then
sound continuously as the obstacle
gets nearer. Green, orange and red
zones will be displayed on the dis-
play D;
– if there is no risk of collision, no beep
will sound when approaching the ob-
stacle. Green, orange and red zones
will be displayed interspersed on the
display D.
Note: in the event of a change in tra-
jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of
collision with an obstacles may be sig-
nalled late.
