Dacia Sandero

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

This cruising speed can be set at any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).

Controls

1.

Cruise control On/Off switch.

2.

Switch to activate and decrease cruising speed (SET/-).

3.

Switch to activate and increase cruising speed or to recall the stored cruising speed (RES/+).

4.

Put the function on standby (with storage of the cruising speed) (0).

5.

Speed limiter On/Off switch.

Switching on

Press the switch 1.

The 6 or 8 warning lights appear in grey or, depending on the vehicle, the 7 warning light appears in green.

The "Cruise control ON" or, depending on the vehicle, the warning light 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

At a steady speed above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h), press switch 2 (SET/˗) or switch 3 (RES/+): the function is activated and the current speed is taken into account.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes. The cruising speed is confirmed by the appearance in white of the stored speed and warning light 6 or, depending on the vehicle, the warning light and warning light 8 in green in addition to warning light 7.

Depending on the vehicle, if you try to activate the function below 18 mph (30 km/h), the message "Invalid Speed" is displayed and function remains inactive.

Driving

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

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed can be changed by repeatedly pressing the:

• switch 2 (SET/˗) to reduce the speed;
• switch 3 (RES/+) to increase the speed.

Note: press and hold one of the switches to modify the 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 is unable to maintain the cruising speed: the memorised speed will flash on the instrument panel.

Putting the function on standby

The function is set to standby if you:

• press the switch 4 (O);
• press the brake pedal;
• press the clutch pedal for a prolonged period or if the vehicle is in neutral for a prolonged period on vehicles equipped with a manual gearbox;
• shift to neutral position on vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox.

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

Depending on the vehicle, the warning light 8 disappears to confirm standby.

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 switch 3 (RES/+) if the vehicle speed is above 19 mph (30 km/h).

When the speed is recalled, the activation of cruise control is confirmed by the display in white of the cruising speed and, depending on the vehicle, the warning light 8.

Note: 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 function is on standby, pressing the switch 2 (SET/˗) to reactivate the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: the speed at which the vehicle is moving will be taken into account.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is interrupted:

• when you press the 1 switch. In this case, the speed is no longer stored;
• when you press the 5 switch. In this case the speed limiter is selected and there is no stored speed.

The green 7 warning light or, depending on the vehicle, the 6 or 8 warning light disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function is deactivated.
