slope, for example), an audible signal triggers

immediately.

Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Adjusting the limit speed

setting

You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in

order to set the speed.

Cruise control - particular

►ꢀ Press button 5 to display the memorised speed

settings.

For the safety of everyone, only use the

cruise control where the driving

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.

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.

speed setting.

Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the

programmed setting, the speed limiter functions

again: the display of the speed setting becomes

instrument panel:

►ꢀ Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to

confirm the memorisation request.

►ꢀ Press button 5 again to save the suggested

Cruise control remains active after

changing gear, regardless of the gearbox

type, on engines fitted with Stop & Start.

For more information on Memorising

speeds or the Speed Limit Recognition and

Recommendation, refer to the corresponding

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.

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.

With a drive selector, mode D or B must be

engaged.

"MEM" button

Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results

in a rapid change in the speed of the

vehicle.

Malfunction

As a precaution, we recommend setting a

cruise speed fairly close to the current

speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden

acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)

indicates a malfunction with the cruise control

system.

Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

With this button, you can select a memorised

speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the

programmable cruise control.

For more information on the Speed limiter or

Cruise control, refer to the corresponding section.
