CRUISE CONTROL
3
– switch
2
(SET/˗) to reduce the
speed;
– switch
3
(RES/+) to increase the
speed.
Note: press and hold one of the
switches to modify speed by succes-
sive increments.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
after a few seconds, the vehicle will
automatically return to its set cruising
speed.
Cruising speed cannot be main-
tained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the memorised speed
will flash on the instrument panel.
If the cruise control is no
longer available (after
several attempts to acti-
vate it), contact an Ap-
proved Dealer.
Cruise control with cruis-
ing speed maintained
during gear changing:
This function maintains the cruise
control speed before and after a
gear change, without any action
required from the driver.
Putting the function on standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the switch
4
;
– the brake pedal;
– the clutch pedal for a prolonged peri-
od or if the vehicle is in neutral for a
prolonged period on vehicles equipped
with a manual gearbox;
– shifting to neutral position on vehi-
cles equipped with an automatic gear-
box.
The cruising speed is stored and dis-
played 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 condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.). Press the
switch
1
(RES/+) if the vehicle speed
isabove19mph(30km/h).
When the speed is recalled, the activa-
tion 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.
