CRUISe CONtROL, SPeeD LIMIteR:  speed limiter (5/6)
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored 
and this speed is not reached, driving is 
similar  to  driving  a  vehicle  without  the 
speed limiter function.
Once  you  have  reached  the  stored 
speed,  no  effort  on  the  accelera-
tor  pedal  will  allow  you  to  exceed 
the  programmed  speed  except  in  an 
emergency  (refer  to  information  on 
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
–  switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
–  switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
exceeding the limit speed
It  is  possible  to  exceed  the  limit  speed 
at  any  moment.  To  do  this:  press  the 
accelerator  pedal  firmly  and  fully 
(beyond the kickdown point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the 
limit  speed  flashes  on  the  instrument 
panel and area  C lights up red.
Then,  as  far  as  is  possible,  release 
the  accelerator  pedal:  the  speed  lim -
iter  function  will  return  as  soon  as  you 
reach  a  speed  lower  than  the  stored 
speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If  driving  up  or  down  a  steep  gradient, 
the  system  is  unable  to  maintain  the 
limit  speed:  the  stored  speed  on  the 
instrument  panel  will  flash  and  zone  C 
will  light  up  in  red  to  inform  you  of  this 
situation.
The speed limiter function is 
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.

Putting the function on 
standby
The  speed  limiter  function  is  sus-
pended  when  you  press  switch  4   (O). 
In this case, the limit speed will remain 
stored  and  is  no  longer  displayed  in 
zone  6   and  the  message  “ Memorised” 
along with the stored speed will appear 
on the display.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing switch  5 (R).
Switching off the function
The  speed  limiter  function  is  deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case 
a  speed  is  no  longer  stored.  The  in -
strument  panel  orange  indicator  light 7 
goes  out  to  confirm  that  the  function  is 
deactivated.
When  the  speed  limiter  is  put  on 
standby,  pressing  switch  2   (+)  re -
activates the function without taking 
into  account  the  stored  speed:  it  is 
the  speed  at  which  the  vehicle  is 
moving that is taken into account.

Cruise control (Analogue Instrument panel)
CRUISe CONtROL, SPeeD LIMIteR:  cruise control function (1/8)
The  cruise  control  function 
is  in  no  way  linked  to  the 
braking system.
This  function  is  an  addi -
tional  driving  aid.  However, 
the  function  does  not  take 
the  place  of  the  driver. 
Therefore,  it  can  under  no  circum -
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to 
be  vigilant  (the  driver  must  always 
be  ready  to  brake).  Cruise  control 
must not be used in heavy traffic, on 
undulating  or  slippery  roads  (black 
ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during 
bad  weather  (fog,  rain,  side  winds 
etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
  1  Main “On/Off” switch.
  2  Limit speed activation, storage and 
increase switch (+).
  3  Decrease cruising speed (-).
  4  Switch  the  function  off  (with  stor -
age  of  governed  cruising  speed) 
(O).
  5  Activation with recall of stored gov-
erned cruising speed (R).

AInstrument panel  AThe cruise control function helps you to 
maintain your driving speed at a speed 
that  you  choose,  called  the  cruising 
speed.
This  cruising  speed  may  be  set  at  any 
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The  cruise  control  operates  differently 
depending  on  the  vehicle’s  instrument 
panel. There are two different operating 
modes  (instrument  panel  A  and B)  de-

(+):  the  function  is  activated  and  the 
speed is stored.
Cruise  control  activation  is  confirmed 
when  indicator  light 7  is  lit  up  in  green 
in addition to indicator light  6.
Driving
Once  a  cruising  speed  is  stored  and 
the  cruise  control  function  is  active, 
you  may  lift  your  foot  off  the  accelera -
tor pedal.
Important:  you  are  never -
theless  advised  to  keep 
your feet close to the pedals 
in  order  to  react  if  neces -
sary.

CRUISe CONtROL, SPeeD LIMIteR:  cruise control function (4/8)
When  the  cruise  control  function  is 
put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+) 
reactivates  the  cruise  control  func -
tion  without  taking  into  account  the 
stored  speed:  it  is  the  speed  at 
which  the  vehicle  is  moving  that  is 
taken into account.Putting  the  cruise  control 
on  standby  or  switching  it 
off  does  not  cause  a  rapid 
reduction  in  speed:  you 
must brake by depressing the brake 
pedal.
Putting the function on 
standby
The function is suspended when you:
–  the switch 4 (O);
–  the brake pedal;
–  depress the clutch pedal or shift into 
neutral  if  the  vehicle  has  an  auto -
matic gearbox.
In  all  three  cases,  the  cruising  speed 
remains  stored  and  the  message 
“Memorised ” appears on the instrument 
panel.
Standby  is  confirmed  when  indicator 
light 
¦ goes out. Returning to the cruising speed
If  a  speed  is  stored,  it  can  be  recalled, 
once  you  are  sure  that  the  road  con
-
ditions  are  suitable  (traffic,  road  sur -
face,  weather  conditions,  etc.).  Press 
switch  5   (R)  if  the  vehicle  speed  is 
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, acti-
vation of the cruise control is confirmed 
by  the  illumination  of  the 
¦  warn -
ing light.
Note:  if  the  speed  previously  stored  is 
much  higher  than  the  current  speed, 
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly 
to reach this threshold.

Switching off the function
The  cruise  control  function  is  deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case 
a speed is no longer stored. The green 
  and ¦  instrument  panel  indi -
cator  lights  go  out,  confirming  that  the 
function is deactivated.
