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
automatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control commands 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.
Displays on the instrument
panel
Activation You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally 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 via action on the accelera-
tor, press button 2 or button 4 . The
cruise speed is then memorised. It
is displayed in zone A of the instru-
ment panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These manoeuvres 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 observance of speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.
