restarting
The system can decelerate the vehicle
to a standstill when the vehicle in
front of it slows down and stops.
The system will automatically restart
the vehicle if the vehicle comes to a
stop and the vehicle in front restarts
within two seconds. If the vehicle in
front restarts after 2 seconds, the RES
button or the accelerator pedal must
be pressed to reactivate the system
and restart. If the system keeps the
vehicle at a standstill for three minutes,
the electric parking brake will activate
and the system will be deactivated.
NOTE When the system is keeping the
vehicle stopped, the electric parking
brake will be activated and the system
will be deactivated at speeds close to
stopping, if the driver unbuckles the
seat belt or opens the door.
WARNING The driver must ensure that
there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
other obstacles in front of the vehicle
when the system is reactivated. Failure
to comply with this precaution may

cause serious accidents and fatal
injuries.
ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active
and following a vehicle, the device
provides additional acceleration to
facilitate overtaking, when travelling
over a given speed and switches on
the left direction indicator on roads with
right-hand traffic (of the right indicator
for roads with left-hand traffic). The
device detects the direction of traffic
automatically when the car passes from
left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
button and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions
could cause an acceleration or a
deceleration of the vehicle. Failure to
comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and fatal
injuries.
