If the accelerator is pressed right down (kick-
down) and the set speed is exceeded be-
cause driver wishes to do so, the limiter is
temporarily disabled.
To confirm it being switched off an acoustic
signal sound once. While cruise control is
off, the control lamp flashes .
When the accelerator is no longer pressed
down and the speed is reduced below the
set value, the limiter switches on again. The
control lamp will light up and remain lit.
Automatic off
The speed limiter is automatically switched
off:
●
If the system detects a fault that could
negatively affect the working order of the
limiter.
●
If the airbag is triggered.
WARNING
After use, switch off the speed limiter to
prevent the speed being regulated without
it being required.
●
The speed limiter does not relieve the
driver of their responsibility to drive at the
appropriate speed. Do not drive at high
speed if not necessary.
●
Using the speed limiter in adverse weath-
er conditions is dangerous and can cause
serious accidents. Use the speed limiter
only when the condition of the road surface
and the weather and traffic conditions al-
low it.
●
When driving on a steep gradient, the
speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle’s
speed. This can increase. In this case, brake
and change down a gear.
