Stopping And Starting On Vehicles Fitted With An Automatic Gearbox - Renault MEGANE Vehicle User Manual

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Stopping and starting on
vehicles fitted with an
automatic gearbox
If the vehicle in front slows down, the
system adapts its speed to a complete
stop if necessary (e.g. in heavy traffic).
The vehicle stops a few metres from
the vehicle in front. The Stop and Start
function can put the engine on standby
➥ 2.8.
When the vehicle in front sets off again:
– if the stop does not exceed about
three seconds, the vehicle sets off
automatically without any action by
the driver;
– if the stop exceeds about three sec-
onds, you must apply the accelera-
tor pedal or press button 7 (RES/+) in
order for the vehicle to set off again.
The message "Press RES/+ or ac-
celerate" appears on the instrument
panel to confirm.
If the stop exceeds about three min-
utes, the electronic parking brake is
automatically applied and the Stop
and Go adaptive cruise control is de-
activated. The  warning light disap-
pears to confirm that the function is de-
activated.

Putting the function on
standby
You can set the function to standby
when:
– you press switch 4 (0);
– you apply the brake pedal while the
vehicle is moving.
The function is deactivated by the

or N;
– you engage the reverse gear;
– you unbuckle the driver's seatbelt;
– you open one of the opening ele-
ments;
– you press the engine start/stop
button;

– the vehicle speed is above 112 mph
(180 km/h);

devices are triggered (active emer-
gency braking, ABS, ESC etc.) ;
– when you press the clutch pedal for a
prolonged period or upon prolonged
neutral position on vehicles equipped
with a manual gearbox.

In all circumstances, the standby is con-
firmed when the warning lights appear
in grey and the message "Adaptive
Cruise Ctl Disconnected" appears on
the instrument panel.
Putting the adaptive cruise
control in standby or switch-
ing it off does not cause a
rapid reduction in speed:
you must brake by applying the
brake pedal if necessary.
