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).

tip

You can link the speed limiter to the « Road sign detection » function Detection of road signs.

Controls

1.

Switch to activate and increase the limit speed (SET/+).

2.

Depending on the vehicle, road sign detection activation switch Detection of road signs.

3.

Mode switch to change state between OFF / speed limiter / cruise control.

4.

Switch the function to standby, with limit speed stored (0).

5.

Reminder of the stored limit speed (RES).

6.

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

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.

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 as many times as necessary until the light 7 lights up grey on the instrument panel. The « Limiter ON» message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting for a limit speed to be stored.

To store the current speed, press the switch 1 (SET/+) or the switch 6 (SET/-): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the warning light 7 appears in white.

The minimum stored speed is 19 mph (30 km/h).

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:

  • the switch 1 (SET/+) to increase the speed;
  • the switch 6 (SET/-) to reduce 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 (0).

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 set to standby, press switch 6 (SET/-) or switch 1 (SET/+) to reactivate the 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 speed limiter 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 cruise control is selected and there is no stored speed.

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