Driving
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
- in an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
- in heavy traffic (except versions with
the Stop & Go function),
- on winding or steep roads,
-
on slippery or flooded roads,
-
in unfavourable climatic conditions,
-
driving on a speed circuit,
-
driving on a rolling road,
-
use of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
Cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control – particular
recommendations.
This system automatically keeps
the vehicle's speed at the cruise
value programmed by the driver
(speed setting), without using the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40
km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M.
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
Steering mounted control
1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF.
2. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/decrease speed setting.
3. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/increase speed setting.
4. Pausing/resumption of cruise control with
the speed setting previously stored.
5. Depending on version:
