     SPEED LIMITER 
 System  which  prevents  the  vehi- 
cle  from  exceeding  the  speed  pro-
grammed by the driver.  
 Once  the  limit  speed  has  been  
reached,  the  accelerator  pedal  no 
longer has any effect.  
 The  speed  limiter  is  switched  on 
manually: a speed of at least 20 mph 
(around  30  km/h)  must  be  pro- 
grammed.  
 The speed limiter controls are located  
on  the  left-hand  side  of  the  steering 
wheel.    The  programmed  information  is 
grouped  together  in  zone   
A  of  the 
instrument panel display.

  Programming  
 Rotate  the  control    1   to  the    "LIM"  
position.    With  the  engine  running,  you  can  
adjust  the  memorised  maximum 
speed,  by  means  of  short  or  long 
presses on:  
   
     button    4   to  increase  the  memo-
rised maximum speed, 
  
     button   2  to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.  
 Successive  presses  will  modify  the  
maximum  speed  in  steps  of  1  mph 
and  a  sustained  press  in  steps  of
3 mph.   
  Activation  
 When  the  desired  maximum  speed  
is  displayed,  press  button    3   so  that 
the limitation is activated. 
 On  selection  of  the 
function,  the  previous 
memorised  speed  and 
the  information    "OFF"  
are  displayed  on  the 
instrument panel.    The  information   
"OFF"  
then disappears from the 
instrument panel display. 
 While  the  function  is  active,  pressing 
the accelerator pedal will not enable the 
programmed  speed  to  be  exceeded, 
except if you press the pedal hard down 
to beyond the end-of-travel switch. 
 The speed of your vehicle may vary 
slightly in relation to that memorised.  
 The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances,  take  the  place  of  the  observ-
ance of speed limits or of the vigilance 
and responsibility of the driver.

     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.  
  Steering wheel controls  
 The  cruise  control  switches  are  lo- 
cated  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the 
steering wheel.    The  programmed  information  is 
grouped  together  in  zone   
A  of  the 
instrument panel display.  
  Displays on the instrument panel 
  Activation   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  display  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.   
  Deactivation  
   
     Either  by  pressing  on  the  brake 
pedal or on the clutch pedal. 
  
     Or by pressing button   3 . 
  
     Or  if  either  the  ESP  or  the ASR 
system is active.  
 The cruise control is not active if the  
gear lever is in neutral. 
 On  selection  of  the 
function  via  control   
1, 
no  cruise  speed  has 
yet been memorised.   
  Programming  
 Rotate  the  control   
1   to  the    "REG"  
position.   
 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.   These  actions  cause 
the  information   
"OFF"  
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.  
 These  actions  do  
not  cancel  the  cruise 
speed  which  remains 
displayed  in  the  instru-
ment panel.  
 The  cruise  control  cannot,  in  any 
circumstances, take the place of the ob-
servance  of  speed  limits  or  of  the  vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.
