ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Stop and start
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 (in the event
of a traffic jam, etc.). The vehicle stops
a few metres from the vehicle in front.
The Stop and Start function can put the
engine on standby ➥ 2.10.
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 au-
tomatically applied and the Stop and
Go adaptive cruise control is deacti-

vated. 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
system if:
– you set the automatic gearbox to P
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 slope is too steep;
– the vehicle speed is above 112 mph
(180 km/h);
– certain driving aids and correction
devices are triggered (active emer-
gency braking, ABS, ESC);
Putting the adaptive cruise control in standby or switching it off does not
cause a rapid reduction in speed: you must brake by applying the brake
pedal if necessary.

– 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.
