Dacia Bigster
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 0 mph to 112 mph (180 km/h).
Controls
- 1
Switch to activate and increase the limit speed (SET/+).
- 2
Depending on the vehicle, the road sign detection activation switch Detection of road signs.
- 3
Switch for selecting/deselecting the driving aids, depending on the vehicle:
- cruise control;
- speed limiter;
- OFF.
- 4
Switch the function to standby, with limit speed stored (0).
- 5
Recalling the stored limit speed (RES).
- 6
Switch to activate and decrease the limit speed (SET/˗).
tip
When "OFF" mode is selected before the ignition is switched off, the "Speed limiter" function will be activated by default the next time the engine is started.
tip
You can link the speed limiter to the "Road sign detection" function Detection of road signs.
Driving
When a limit speed has been set but not yet reached, driving is similar to driving a vehicle without the speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on "Exceeding the limit speed").
Switching on
Press switch 3 until the light 7 lights up grey on the instrument panel. The "Speed limiter selected" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is in operation and waiting to store a limit speed.
To store the current speed, press switch 1 (SET/+) or switch 6 (SET/˗): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the indicator light 7 appears in white.
The minimum speed saved will be 12 mph (20 km/h) or, depending on the vehicle, 19 mph (30 km/h).
warning
Please note that you must keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react in an emergency.
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or holding down:
- switch 1 (SET/+) to increase the speed;
- switch 6 (SET/˗) to decrease the speed.
warning
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this, press the accelerator pedal firmly down beyond the point of resistance.
While the speed is being exceeded, the programmed speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the memorised speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limited speed: the stored speed will flash in red on the instrument panel and a beep sounds at regular intervals to inform you of this situation.
warning
If the speed limiter is not available (after several attempts to activate), contact an approved dealer.
Putting the function on standby
The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 4 (O). The limit speed is stored and displayed in grey on the instrument panel.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing the switch 5.
tip
When the speed limiter is on standby, press switch 6 (SET/˗) or switch 1 (SET/+) to reactivate the function without taking into account the stored speed: the vehicle's current speed will be taken into account instead.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted:
- when you press switch 3 until OFF, the "Driving assist. deactivated" message appears on the instrument panel. In this case, the speed is no longer stored;
tip
In this case, the next time the engine is started, the "Speed limiter" function will be activated and waiting for a speed limit to be stored.
- you press the switch 3 until the light
appears on the display. In this case the cruise control is selected and there is no stored speed.
