Activation Operating faults In the event of a malfunction, a message “Lane departure warning check” is displayed on the instrument panel, and the warning light on button 1 stays off. Consult an approved dealer.  2. 28 Cruise control/speed limiter: speed limiter function (1/3) The speed limiter function helps you stay within the driving speed limit that you choose, known as the limit speed. 1 2 3 4 A 5 Controls 1 Limit speed activation, storage and increase switch (+). 5 Main “On/Off” switch. Switching on Press switch 5 on the side showing . The  warning light comes on, lit orange, and the message “Speed limiter” appears on the instrument panel A, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting to store a limit speed. To store the current speed, press switch 1 (+): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the activation of the speed limiter is confirmed by the message area being lit orange. The minimum stored speed is 20 mph (30 km/h). 2. 29 Cruise control/speed limiter: speed limiter function (2/3) 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 accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on “Exceeding the limit 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). The limit speed flashes on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, the display area lights up in red to inform you that the limit speed is being exceeded. Then, as far as is possible, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter 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: this speed flashes on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, the display area will light up in red. 1 2 3 4 5 Varying the limit speed The limit speed may be changed by repeatedly pressing: – switch 1 (+) to increase the speed; – switch 2 (-) to decrease the speed. The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system. 2. 30 Cruise control/speed limiter: speed limiter function (3/3) Switching off the function A The speed limiter function is deactivated if you press switch 5: in this case a speed is no longer stored. The orange  indicator light on instrument panel A goes out to confirm that the function is deactivated. 1 2 3 4 5 Putting the function on standby The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 3 (O). In this case, the limit speed remains stored and the message "Memorised” accompanied by this speed appears on the instrument panel A. Depending on the vehicle, when the function is on standby, this is confirmed by the message area no longer being lit orange. Recalling the limit speed If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing switch 4 (R). When the speed limiter is put on standby, pressing switch 1 (+) reactivates the function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account. 2. 31 Cruise control/speed limiter: cruise control function (1/4) The 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). 1 2 3 4 5 Controls 1 Limit speed activation, storage and increase switch (+). 3 Switch the function to standby (with memorisation of governed cruising speed) (O). 5 Main “On/Off” switch. This function is an additional driving aid. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver’s responsibility 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. The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system. 2. 32 Cruise control/speed limiter: cruise control function (2/4) Driving A Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. 1 2 3 4 5 Switching on Press switch 5 on the side showing . Activating cruise control At a steady speed (above 20 mph (30 km/h) approximately) press switch 1 (+): the current speed is stored. The cruising speed replaces the dashes and the activation of the cruise control is confirmed, depending on the vehicle: – by the appearance of the ing light; The  warning light comes on, lit green, and the message “Cruise control” appears on instrument panel A, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the cruise control function is activated and waiting to store a cruising speed.  warn- – or by the message area lighting up in green. sary.

Putting the function on standby The function is suspended when you: – press switch 3 (O); – depress the brake pedal; – depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an automatic gearbox. In these three cases, the cruising speed remains stored and the message “Memorised” accompanied by this speed appears on the instrument panel.
