Based on information from a camera, the Stop and Go adaptive cruise control function gives you the option of maintaining a selected speed, known as the cruising speed, while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane.

Depending on the vehicle, when the "Road sign detection" function is activated Road sign detection, the system can adapt the speed of your vehicle according to the speed limit signs recognized by the camera.

If the vehicle in front stops, the Stop and Go adaptive cruise control may brake your vehicle to a complete stop before setting off again.

The system controls acceleration and deceleration of your vehicle using the engine and braking system.

The system's maximum range is approximately 140 metres. This may vary according to the road conditions (ground relief, weather conditions, etc.)

The Stop and Go adaptive cruise control function can be activated from 0 mph (0 km/h) to 112 mph (180 km/h).

The function is indicated by the symbol.

Note:

  • the driver must observe the maximum speed limit and safe distances according to the legislation in the country where they are driving;
  • the Stop and Go 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.
tip

The Stop and Go adaptive cruise control does not trigger an emergency stop and its braking capability is limited.

warning

This function is an additional driving aid.

It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to respect speed limits and safe distances or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always adapt their speed according to the surroundings and traffic conditions.

Use the adaptive cruise control outside urban areas, on wide roads with visible lines.

The cruise control may have limited operation on very winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds, etc.)

There is a risk of accidents.

Location of the camera 1

Make sure the windscreen is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

Location of the radar 2

Ensure that the radar protection plate is not obstructed (dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted number plate), impacted, modified (including painting) or hidden by any accessory fitted on the front of the vehicle (on the grille or logo, etc.).

warning

The camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.

Switching on

Press switch 7 as many times as required to select the adaptive cruise control Stop and Go.

The warning light 10 appears in grey and the "Adaptive Cruise Ctl selected" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the function is activated and waiting to store a cruising speed.

This function cannot be activated when:

The "Adaptive Cruise Ctl unavailable" message is displayed on the instrument panel.

Activating cruise control

With the vehicle stationary or moving at a steady speed, press switch 4 (SET/+) or 3 (SET/˗) to activate the function and store the current speed.

The minimum cruising speed is 12 mph (20 km/h).

The cruising speed 11 replaces the dashes and the cruise control operation is confirmed by the appearance of the cruising speed in green and warning light 10 .

If you attempt to activate the function above 112 mph (180 km/h), the "Invalid Speed" message appears and the function remains inactive.

Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Note: if your vehicle speed is below approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the function sets a stored cruising speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) by default. The vehicle will accelerate until it reaches the stored cruising speed.

warning

Important: you should keep your feet near the pedals at all times to prepare for any event.

Activating cruise control with speed limit sign recognition

If the vehicle is equipped with the "Road sign detection" function Road sign detection, press switch 5 to adapt the vehicle's speed to the speed limits 14 detected by the camera.

When passing the sign, the cruising speed 11 adopts the value of the detected speed 14.

The driver must always stay vigilant regarding the speed applied by the system and remains responsible for the vehicle speed.

Safe distance control activation

As soon as cruise control is activated, the default safe distance 12 is displayed in green on the instrument panel.

The following distance setting is stored by the system between each activation of Adaptive Cruise Control and for the next vehicle start cycle.

If the system detects a vehicle in your lane, an outline of a vehicle 13 appears above the following distance bars 12 on the instrument panel.

Your vehicle adapts its speed to that of the vehicle in front and applies the brakes if necessary (the brake lights come on) in order to maintain the distance displayed on the instrument panel.

Note: the size of the silhouette 13 changes according the distance between you and the followed vehicle. The larger the outline, the closer the vehicle in front.

Setting the cruising speed

You can vary the speed by repeatedly pressing (small increments) or pressing and holding (large increments) switch 3 or 4:

  • switch (SET/˗) 3 to reduce the speed;
  • switch (SET/+) 4 to increase the speed.

Adjusting the following distance

You can vary the safe distance from the vehicle in front at any time by pressing switch 8 repeatedly.

The horizontal following distance bars on the instrument panel indicate the various available safe distances:

  • following distance bar A: long following distance (corresponding to a following time of approximately 2.4 seconds);
  • following distance bar B: intermediate distance 2 (corresponding to approximately two seconds);
  • following distance bar C: intermediate distance 1 (corresponding to approximately 1.6 seconds);
  • following distance bar D: short distance (corresponding to a following time of approximately 1.2 seconds).

The selected distance bar appears in green on the instrument panel.

The other bars remain in grey.

Note: the following distance setting must be adjusted according to the traffic, local regulations and weather conditions.

tip

The following distance setting is stored by the system between each activation of Adaptive Cruise Control Stop and Go and for the next vehicle start cycle.

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by applying the accelerator pedal.

If it is exceeded, the cruising speed 11 appears in red.

The following distance bars flash if the distance to the vehicle in front is less than the selected following distance: the "Distance control" function will no longer operate.

Then, release the accelerator pedal: The cruise control and distance control will automatically resume the speed and distance setpoints you previously selected.

Overtaking manoeuvre

If you wish to overtake the vehicle in front of you, activating the direction indicator temporarily cancels the safe distance control and allows sufficient acceleration speed for overtaking.

Stop and start

If the vehicle in front slows down, the system adapts its speed to bring the vehicle 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 Stop and Start function.

When the vehicle in front moves off again:

  • if the stop does not exceed approximately thirty seconds, the vehicle moves off automatically without any action by the driver;

Note: the driver must always be alert to sudden events that may occur during driving and remains responsible for keeping control of the vehicle: if the system identifies a pedestrian near the vehicle, automatic starting will be disabled until the next stop;

  • if the stop exceeds approximately thirty seconds, you must press the accelerator pedal or press switch 9 (RES) in order for the vehicle to move off again. The "Press RES or accelerate to restart Cruise Control" message appears on the instrument panel to confirm this.

If the stop exceeds about three minutes, the electronic parking brake is automatically applied and the Stop and Go adaptive cruise control is deactivated.

The warning light 10 disappears to confirm that the function has been deactivated.

Putting the function on standby

You can set the function to standby when:

  • you press switch 6 (0);
  • you apply the brake pedal while the vehicle is moving.

The function is set to standby by the system if:

  • you set the gearbox to P, R or N ;
  • you unbuckle the driver's seat belt;
  • you open one of the opening elements;
  • 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 emergency braking, ABS, ESC);
  • "SNOW" and "MUD-SAND" modes Transmission: 4-wheel drive.

In all circumstances, the standby is confirmed when the warning lights appear in grey and the message "Adaptive Cruise Control disconnected" appears on the instrument panel.

warning

Putting the Stop and Go adaptive cruise control function on standby or deactivating it does not result in a rapid speed decrease: you must brake by pressing the brake pedal if necessary.

Exit from standby

  • The parking brake is applied.
  • The "Active emergency braking" function triggers braking.
  • The sensor is obstructed (camera blindness detected).

Based on the stored cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc.).

Press switch 9 (RES) within the valid speed range. When the stored speed is recalled, activation of the cruise control is confirmed by the illumination of the cruising speed in green.

Note: If the stored speed is higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate to reach that speed.

Based on the current speed

When the cruise control function is on standby, pressing switch 3 (SET/˗) or 4 (SET/+) reactivates the cruise control function without taking the stored speed into account: the current speed of the vehicle is taken into account.

"Take control of the vehicle" warnings

12049_P1310_005_1_image.jpeg

In some situations (e.g. coming upon a much slower vehicle, vehicle in front changing lanes quickly, etc.) the system may not have time to react.

Depending on the situation, the system sounds a beep associated with:

  • the orange alert E if the situation requires the driver's attention;

or

  • the red alert F accompanied by the "Brake" message if the situation requires the driver's immediate attention.

In all situations, react accordingly and perform the appropriate manoeuvres.

Switching off the function

The "Adaptive cruise control Stop and Go" function is interrupted when you press switch 7. In this case, the speed is no longer stored.

The warning light 10 disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function has been deactivated.

tip

In this case, the next time the engine is started, the "Speed limiter" function will be activated and waiting for a speed limit to be stored.

Temporarily not available

The grey warning light 10 disappears to confirm that the function has been automatically deactivated.

Ensure that the camera area has not been obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc. ) or subject to an impact.

Conditions in certain geographical areas may hinder the function, for example:

  • arid zones, tunnels, long bridges or lightly used roads without road lines, without signs or trees nearby;
  • a military or airport zone.

You must leave such areas in order for the function to work.

In all cases, if the message is not erased after the engine is restarted, please contact an approved Dealer.

Operating faults

If a fault is detected in the "Adaptive cruise control Stop and Go" function, the "Check Adaptive Cruise Control" message appears on the instrument panel and the " Adaptive cruise controlStop and Go" function is interrupted.

If an operating fault is detected on one or more components of the system, the "Stop and Go Adaptive cruise control" function is interrupted.

Depending on the type of malfunction, the message is displayed on the instrument panel:

  • "Check Front camera" accompanied, depending on the vehicle, by the 1_ALL_036_1_pictogramme.png warning light;
  • "Check vehicle" accompanied, depending on the vehicle, by the 1_ALL_036_1_pictogramme.png warning light;

Limitations of system operation

12049_P1310_006_1_image.jpeg

Vehicle detection

The system detects only vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes) that are moving in the same direction as your vehicle.

A vehicle moving into the same lane (example G) will be taken into account by the system only once it has completely entered the camera detection zones.

The system may trigger abrupt or delayed braking.

The system cannot detect:

  • vehicles approaching intersections: slip road (example H);
  • vehicles driving on the wrong side of the road or reversing towards you.
tip

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

12049_P1310_008_1_image.jpeg

Detection during cornering

When entering a corner or bend, the camera may temporarily be unable to detect the vehicle in front (example J).

The system may trigger an acceleration.

When exiting a bend, the system's detection of the vehicle in front may be disrupted or delayed.

The system may trigger abrupt or delayed braking.

Detection of vehicles in adjacent lanes

The system may detect vehicles driving on an adjacent lane when:

  • you drive into a bend (example K);
  • you are driving on a road with narrow lanes;
  • the speed of the vehicle on the adjacent lane is slower and if one of these vehicles is located too close to the lane of the other.

The system may incorrectly trigger vehicle slowing or braking.

12049_P1310_010_1_image.jpeg

Vehicles hidden due to variations in ground relief

The system will not register vehicles driving uphill or downhill when hidden by terrain or when located outside the camera's detection zones.

Vehicles outside the camera detection zones

The system will react late or not at all if detected vehicles are outside the camera detection zones, particularly in the following situations:

  • vehicles transporting long objects which exceed the line;
  • vehicles insufficiently centred in the lane;
  • narrow vehicles which are very close (example M).

12049_P1310_012_1_image.jpeg

Stationary and slow moving vehicles

When your speed is over approximately 31 mph (50 km/h), the system does not detect:

  • stationary vehicles (example N);
  • very slow moving vehicles.

When your speed is less than approximately 31 mph (50 km/h), the system may not react or may react very late to:

  • stationary vehicles (example N);
  • very slow moving vehicles;

  • preceding vehicles 15 that change lane or discovering a slow or stationary vehicle 16 (example P);
  • stationary or slow vehicles 17, when you change lane (example Q).

tip

Always be ready to take control of your vehicle when you come upon stationary or very slow-moving vehicles (example N).

The adaptive cruise control does not trigger an emergency stop and its braking capability is limited.

Non-detection of fixed obstacles and objects of a small size

The system cannot detect:

  • pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, shopping trolleys, caddies, etc.;
  • animals;
  • fixed obstacles (toll barriers, walls, etc.) (example R).

These are not taken into account by the system.

They do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

Detection of vehicles moving into lane at high speed

If your vehicle is overtaken by another vehicle driving at high speed 18 (motorcycle, car, etc.) and the vehicle is temporarily between you and the vehicle in front 19, the system may trigger undue acceleration, slowing or braking.

Warning

warning

This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to respect speed limits and safe distances or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indications. Except for lines delimiting lanes, traffic indicators (traffic lights, signs, pedestrian crossings etc.) are not recognised by the system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

System servicing/repairs

  • In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.
  • Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if:

  • the vehicle is travelling on a winding road;
  • the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
  • the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;
  • the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;
  • the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;
  • the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog, etc.);
  • the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);
  • the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);
  • the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);
  • the windscreen is cracked or distorted.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

warning

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the system's operation, such as:

  • windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, etc.);
  • poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);
  • poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);
  • poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);
  • being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);
  • narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);
  • a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;
  • use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver's side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that appear in the camera detection zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate acceleration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always keep your vehicle under control by keeping your feet near the pedals, so that you are ready to act in any event.
