Driving
The cruise speed setting then becomes equal to:
- the current speed of your vehicle, if it is over
19 mph (30 km/h),
- 19 mph (30 km/h), if it is below 19 mph
(30 km/h).
Remembering the settings
Switching off the ignition cancels any speed
setting value chosen by the driver.
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set
at "Normal" (2 dashes). Otherwise, the last
setting made will be used when switching on
the system.
Pause
The cruise control can be paused manually by:
- action by the driver:
• On the button 4 (Pause).
• On the brake pedal.
• On the electric parking brake control.
• On the clutch pedal, by pressing and
holding for more than 5 seconds.
• When changing from mode D to N with an
automatic gearbox.
- or automatically:
• If the ESC system is activated, for safety
reasons.
• When the speed of the vehicle falls below
19 mph (30 km/h) with a manual gearbox.

When the cruise control is paused, it
can only be reactivated when all of the
safety conditions are met. The "Activation
denied, conditions unsuitable" message is
displayed if reactivation is not possible.
Reactivating the function
With a manual gearbox
To reactivate the function, the driver must
accelerate to reach at least 19 mph (30 km/h),
then press one of the buttons 2, 3 or 4.
With the EAT6 automatic gearbox
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, the system holds the vehicle
stationary; the cruise control is paused.
The driver should press the accelerator pedal
to move off, then reactivate the system above
1 mph (2 km/h) by pressing button 2, 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after a while (approx. five
minutes).
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, if the traffic conditions do not
allow the vehicle to be restarted immediately,
the driver must confirm the vehicle restart by
pressing button 4 or the accelerator pedal.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after a while (approx. five
minutes).
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed approaches the speed setting
to reactivate the function by pressing
button 4.
Modification of the speed

With the engine running and cruise control on
(green), you can modify the speed setting.
From the current speed
F By successive short presses on button 2
