In order for it to be memorised, the

vehicle speed must be greater than

25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth

gear engaged (second gear for the

automatic gearbox), with the engine

running.

Activation/memorising a speed

As soon as you reach the chosen

speed, press button 2 or 3. This

memorises the speed, which will be

maintained automatically. The display

indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

control, which does not act on

the brakes, is not able to pre-

vent the vehicle from exceeding

the programmed speed.

In no circumstances does the

cruise control replace the requirement to

respect speed limits, nor does it replace

the need for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

We recommend that your feet remain

near the pedals.
