System A

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by arrows 1, are installed on the rear bumper to measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when the vehicle is moving in reverse.

This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centimetres from the obstacle. Stop as soon as possible, according to traffic conditions.

If installed on the vehicle, the four cameras 1, 2 and 3 on the front bumper, the door mirrors and on the luggage compartment door help during difficult manoeuvres.

Operation

When reverse gear is engaged, the camera 1 shows a view of the area behind the vehicle on the multimedia display 2, accompanied by two moving or fixed guide lines 3 and 4.

Using information from a camera, the adaptive cruise control function gives you the option to maintain a selected speed, known as the cruising speed, while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane.

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

The maximum range of the system is approximately 150 m. This may vary depending on road conditions (ground relief, weather conditions, etc.)

Checking the cruising speed

The cruise control is a function that helps to maintain the driving speed at a selected constant speed, known as the cruising speed.

This cruising speed can be set at any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter function allows you to select a maximum driving speed, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1.

Speed limiter on/off switch.

2.

Cruise control on/off switch.

The system uses information from camera 1 to determine the distance from your vehicle:

• from the vehicle in front in the same lane;

or

Using the information from the camera 1, this function informs the driver of the time interval between their vehicle and the vehicle in front in order to maintain a safe stopping distance between the two vehicles.

This system alerts the driver if there are other vehicles in the detection zone A.

The system is activated when the vehicle is travelling between 19 mph and 87 mph (30 km/h and 140 km/h).
