to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modication buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed ashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
ashing).

Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Specic recommendations on cruise
control.
This system automatically maintains the
vehicle’s speed at the value programmed
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of
the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must
be engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second
gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines tted with a
manual gearbox and the Stop & Start
function.
Switching o󰀨 the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
