F With the engine running, adjust the

brightness of the information displayed
using buttons 3:
- the "sun" to increase the brightness,
- the "moon" to decrease the brightness.

Brightness adjustment

Height adjustment

In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
to clean the blade, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the
blade or damage the non-reflective
coating.

We recommend that adjustments are
made using these buttons only when
the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
blade (or in its recess) so as to not
impede deployment of the blade and its
correct operation.

this system operates when the engine
is running and the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off.

F With the engine running, adjust the display

to the desired height using buttons 4:
- up to move the display up,
- down to move the display down.

Memorising speeds

Programming

This function allows speeds to be saved,
which can then be offered to set the two
systems: the speed limiter (to limit the
speed of the vehicle) or the cruise control
(for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for
each of the two systems.

As a safety measure, the driver should
carry out these operations when
stationary.

F Select the system for which you want to

memorise new speed settings:

● speed limiter

F Press the button corresponding to the

speed setting you want to modify.

● cruise control.

Memorised speeds are
recalled by pressing this
button.

the speed settings can be adjusted in the
touch screen.

F In the Driving menu, select "Adjust speed

settings".

F Enter the new value using the numerical

keypad and confirm.

F Confirm to save the modification and quit

the menu.

Speed limit recognition

this system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
the display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).

Principles

Depending on equipment, the
system takes account of speed limit
information from the navigation system
mapping.

the units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when you change country, the units for
speed in the instrument panel must be
those for the country you are driving in.

Depending on equipment, using a camera at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
and reads speed limit and end of speed limit
signs.

Depending on equipment, the system takes
account of the camera and information from the
navigation system mapping.

to maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front
of the camera.

the automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
the speed limit signs present on the
road always take priority over the
display by the system.
the system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
the driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed
of the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period.
the system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention
on road signs.

For the speed limit information given
by the navigation system to be correct,
your mapping software must be
regularly updated.

Memorising the speed
setting

this memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition.

the driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise control
or the dynamic cruise control.
this speed setting then replaces the previous
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or
dynamic cruise control.

For more information on the
Speed limiter, Cruise control or
Dynamic cruise control, refer to the
corresponding sections.

Steering mounted controls

1. Select speed limiter/cruise control mode.
2. Memorise a speed setting.

Operating limits

the legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
the system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-

poor weather (rain, snow),

atmospheric pollution,

trailer, caravan,

driving with snow chains fitted,

puncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,

young drivers.

operation of the system may be disrupted or it
may not work at all in the following situations:
-

poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow, rain, fog),

windscreen area ahead of the camera dirty,
misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged
or masked by a sticker,

fault with the camera,

obsolete or incorrect mapping,

hidden road signs (other vehicles,
vegetation, snow),

speed limit signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted.

Clean the area of the windscreen in
front of the camera regularly.

Inter-vehicle distance

using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" button).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
the driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
