This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. However,

the function does not take

the place of the driver.

1

Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake).

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

that you choose, called the cruising

speed.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Cruising speed activation, storage

and increase switch (+).

This cruising speed may be set at any

speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).

Cruise control must not be used in

heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-

pery roads (black ice, aquaplaning,

gravel) and during bad weather (fog,

rain, side winds etc.).

3 Cruising speed activation, storage

and decrease switch (-).

4 Switch the function to standby (with

cruising speed memorised (O)).

There is a risk of accidents.

5 Cruising speed storage and recall

switch (R).

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

.

The indicator light on the instrument

panel lights up to indicate that the cruise

control function is in operation.

When the function is activated, the

message ‘Cruise control’ appears on

the instrument panel accompanied by

dashes.

The system is designed in such a

way that it is possible to detect a dif-

ference between the stored speed

and the speed shown on the instru-

ment panel.

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal. Whilst the speed is being ex-

ceeded, the cruising speed displayed

on the instrument panel flashes.

Cruising speed cannot be main-

tained

In some driving conditions (for exam-

ple when driving down a steep gradi-

ent), the system is unable to maintain

the cruising speed: the speed on the in-

strument panel information display will

flash to inform you of this situation.

Varying the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed

by pressing repeatedly or continuously

on:

– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;

– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

Recalling the cruising speed

If a speed has been stored, it is possi-

ble to recall it by pressing switch 5 (R),

on condition that you are driving faster

than 20 mph (30 km/h) and that you

are sure that the driving conditions are

suitable (traffic, road surface condition,

weather conditions, etc.).

Putting the function on

standby

The function is interrupted when you:

Switching off the function

Press switch 1. If you do this, the speed

is not memorised.

Confirmation that the function has been

switched off is given when the indicator

light on the instrument panel goes out.

– switch 4 (O);

– the brake pedal;

– the clutch pedal or shift into neutral

if the vehicle has an automatic gear-

box.

In all three cases, the cruising speed is

stored.

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching it

off does not cause a rapid

reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake

pedal.

Pressing switches 2 (+) or 3 (-) re-

activates the cruise control func-

tion without taking into account the

memorised speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.
