DS 3: Driving / Adaptive Cruise Control

For more information, refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids and the Cruise control - particular recommendations.

This system automatically maintains the vehicle speed at a value set by the driver (speed setting), while respecting a safety distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set by the driver. The system automatically manages the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

With the Stop & Go function, the system manages braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.

The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake lamps are not in perfect working order.

To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the top of the windscreen and a radar fitted in the front bumper.

Primarily designed for driving on main roads and motorways, this system only works with moving vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle.

If the driver activates the direction indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, cruise control may temporarily reduce the distance to the target vehicle to facilitate overtaking, without exceeding the speed setting.
