The speed limiter cannot, in
any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
This information also appears
in the head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in

reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al no longer has any effect unless it is
pressed fi rmly, which permits temporary
exceeding of the programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed by releasing the ac-
celerator.

the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
Cruise control is switched on

of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engage-
ment second gear in sequential mode
(position M
).
Cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake pedal or on trig-
gering of the "dynamic stability control"
system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
