When the mode « OFF » is selected before the ignition is switched off, the « Speed limiter » function will be activated by default the next time the vehicle is started.

warning

This function is an additional driving aid.

It can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility to respect speed limits or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

Switching on

Press switch 3 as many times as necessary until the light 7 lights up grey on the instrument panel.

The « Cruise control ON » message appears on the instrument panel, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the cruise control function is activated and waiting to store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

While the vehicle is moving a steady speed (above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h)), press the switch 6(SET/-) or the switch 1(SET/+): the function is activated and the current speed is taken into account.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes. Cruise control is confirmed when the memorised speed and warning light appear in green 7.

If you try to activate the function below 19 mph (30 km/h), the « Speed invalid » message will be displayed and the function will remain deactivated.

Driving

Once a cruising speed is registered and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.

warning

Please note that you must keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react in an emergency.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by repeatedly pressing the:

  • the switch 6 (SET/-) to reduce the speed;
  • the switch 1 (SET/+) to increase speed.

press and hold one of the switches to modify speed by successive increments

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal.

While it is being exceeded, the cruising speed flashes on the instrument panel.

Then, release the accelerator pedal: after a few seconds, the vehicle will automatically return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system may be unable to maintain the cruising speed: the memorised speed will flash on the instrument panel.

warning

If the cruise control is no longer available (after several attempts to activate it), contact an Approved Dealer.

Putting the function on standby

The function is set to standby if you:

  • the switch 4 (0);
  • the brake pedal;
  • shifting to neutral position.

The cruising speed is stored and displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc.). Press the switch 5 (RES) if the vehicle speed is above 19 mph (30 km/h).

When the speed is stored, cruise control activation is confirmed in green of the cruising speed and, depending on the vehicle, the 7 warning light is displayed.

if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control is on standby, press switch 6 (SET/-) or switch 1 (SET/+) to reactivate the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is interrupted when:

  • you press the switch 3 until the message « Assist. Driving Off » appears on the instrument panel. In this case, there is no stored speed;
  • you press the switch 3 until the light appears on the display. In this case the speed limiter is selected and there is no stored speed.

The 7 warning light disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function has stopped.
