and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.

grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel screen. Programming

reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel.
You can then release the accelerator

keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
