System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any

speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving mode,
-
of position D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP
system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the acce-
lerator pedal.
