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 accelerator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h), depending on the engine,and fourth gear at least must beengaged (second gear for the auto-matic gearbox). Operation ☞
Place switch 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Place switch 1in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speedAs soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
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.
Y our 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 the
previous one: ☞ press button 2;
☞ release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control ☞ place switch 1in the OFF position
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGSYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increasesthe stability and manoeuvrability ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery 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.
