CRUISE CONTROL The cruise control makes it possible to maintain a constant vehicle speed
programmed by the driver, whatever the condition of the road and withoutaction on the accelerator or brake pedal.
To be memorised, the vehicle speed must be above 25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h), depending on the engine, with at least 4th gearengaged (2nd gear for the automatic gearbox). Operation Place knob 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised.  Place knob 1in the OFFposition to deactivate the system.
Memorising a speed When you reach the required speed, press button 2or 3. The speed is
memorised and will be maintained automatically.Note: it is possible to accelerate temporarily without deactivating the
cruise control.
Deactivation of the memorised speedIf you wish to deactivate the memorised speed:  press button 4or the clutch or brake pedal.
Recalling the memorised speedFollowing deactivation, press button 4. Your vehicle resumes
the last speed memorised. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roadsor in heavy traffic.

DRIVING YOUR 406 COUPE127
CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 m.p.h (40 km/h) or 40 m.p.h
(60 km/h), depending on the engine,and fourth gear at least must beengaged (second gear for the auto-matic gearbox). Operation

maintained automatically. Note:
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the vehicle will return tothe memorised speed. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:  press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised speedAfter cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one:  press button 2;

Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or in heavytraffic. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGSYSTEM When used with approved
tyres in good condition, the ABS increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery road surfaces. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
