YOUR 406 AT A GLANCE
CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless of the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accelerator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h), depending on the engine, with at
least 4th gear engaged (2nd gear for the automatic gearbox).
Changing a memorised speed
Operation
To memorise a speed higher
than the previous one:
☞ press button 3;
☞ release it when you have
reached the required speed.
☞ Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can now be memorised.
☞ Place switch 1 in the OFF position to de-activate the system.
To memorise a speed lower than
the previous one:
☞ press button 2;
☞ release it when you have

Memorising a speed

tion or switch off the ignition.
