CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel screen. Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Activation
On selection of the function via con-
trol 1, no cruise speed has yet
been memorised .
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel.
You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel screen by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
