When the active cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation
not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible.
When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button
2 (SET+) or 3 (SET-), which will make the
current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button
4
(on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control
using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.

"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
vehicle's cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph
(30 km/h)) and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the
programmed inter-vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher
than the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"Cruise control
paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in
the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change
of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
