Automatic speed limiter (ASL)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
ASL can be used in a situation where varying
vehicle speed is likely but a maximum speed
must not be exceeded. For example, where a
local speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph), the set
speed could be at that limit or just under.
If ASL is not selected, cr uise control is always
available by simply rotating the thumb wheel
on the right-hand side of the steering wheel to
set a cruising speed. The ASL button allows the
driver to select betwee n cruise control and the
automatic speed limiter. The ASL can be set to
any speed between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240
km/h (150 mph).
Note: Although ASL only operates at speeds
between 30 km/h (18 mph) and 240 km/h (150
mph), the maximum speed can be set when the
vehicle is stationary.
When ASL is selected, the warning indicator in
the instrument panel will illuminate. When the
ASL button is pressed ag ain, the light will
extinguish, ASL will be cancelled and cruise
control will be available again.
USING THE ASL
Setting a speed limit
• Press the ASL button.
• Use the thumb wheel ( 1) to set the
required speed. The message centre
display in the instru ment panel will show
the selected speed.
• The set speed can be adjusted at any time
by rotating the thumb wheel (1).
WARNINGS
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) set
speeds must be within local speed
restriction limits. The driver must
always ensure that a safe speed is set, taking
into account the prevailing traffic and road
conditions.
In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed limit. This
is because engine br aking is unable to
maintain or reduce the vehicle speed. Driver
intervention may be required.
