Adjusting the limit speed
setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in
order to set the speed.
To modify the limit speed setting based on the
vehicle’s current speed:
► Briefly press button2 or 3 to change the value
in steps of +or -1mph (1.6 km/h).
► Press and hold button2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of +or -5mph (8 km/h).
To modify the cruise speed setting based on the
speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation, as shown on the
instrument panel:
► Press button5 once; a message is displayed to
confirm the memorisation request.
► Press button5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
► Press the accelerator pedal down fully.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the displayed speed setting flashes.
► Release the accelerator pedal to return to
below the programmed speed.
When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope, for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
Brake if necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the
programmed setting, the speed limiter functions
again: the display of the speed setting becomes
fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel1 to the "OFF" position:
the display of information on the speed limiter
disappears.
Malfunction
The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a fault with the speed limiter.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Cruise control - particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is
activated. If you hold one of the speed setting
modification buttons down, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may occur.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to
control the speed of your vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed
may not be reached or maintained.
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.
