Driving
With a drive selector, mode D or B must be
engaged.
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type, on engines fitted with the Stop & Start
function.
– 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 poor weather conditions.
– In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver.
The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
Steering-mounted controls
– Driving on a speed circuit.
– Driving on a rolling road.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of
the speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
– When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare
wheel.
– When using snow chains or non-slip covers.
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids and the Specific
recommendations on cruise control.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
This system automatically maintains
the vehicle’s speed at the value pro-
grammed by the driver (speed set-
ting), without the use of the accelera-
tor pedal.
1. Cruise control selection
2. Switch on/Pause cruise control at the
previously saved speed setting
3. Increase the speed setting (if cruise control
activated) Activation of cruise control in
progress (if cruise control deactivated)
4. Decrease the speed setting (if cruise
control activated) Activation of cruise
control in progress (if cruise control
deactivated)
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).
With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second
gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.
