In all three cases, the cruising speed re-

mains stored, it is no longer displayed in

zone 6 and the message “Memorised”

along with the stored speed will appear

on the instrument panel.

Cruising speed cannot be

maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

cruising speed: the stored speed on the

situation.

and C go out.

The cruising speed may be changed by

pressing the following repeatedly:

Returning to the cruising speed

Note: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

Switching off the function

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road condi-

tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,

weather conditions, etc.).

Press switch 5 (R) if the vehicle speed

is above 20 mph (30 km/h).

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The instru-

ment panel green indicator light 7 and

zones A, B and C go out, confirming

that the function is deactivated.

When recalling the stored speed

zone A lights up to confirm activation.

Zone B lights up as soon as the cruis-

ing speed is reached.

When the cruise control function is

put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+)

reactivates the cruise control func-

tion without taking into account the

stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

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.
