This system comprises the “Stop and GoAdaptive cruise control function” Stop and Go adaptive cruise control and the “Lane Centring” function.

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, the system can adapt the speed of your vehicle according to the detected speed limit.

The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed.

The cruise control function can be activated from 20 mph (30 km/h) to 112 mph (180 km/h).

The speed limiter function controls the engine to help you not to exceed a driving speed that you have chosen, known as the limit speed.

The speed limiter function can be activated from 20 mph (30 km/h) to 112 mph (180 km/h).

The system displays speed limits on the instrument panel according to road signs detected on the side of the road.
