cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (continued)
Switching onPress switch 1 on the side showing
Ì.
The indicator light on the instrument
panel lights up and, depending on the
vehicle, the trip computer or the infor -
mation display enters “speed limiter”
mode.
Limiting the speedAt a constant speed (above about
18 mph (30 km/h)) and in the correct
gear (for vehicles with manual gear -
boxes), press switch 2 : the speed is
stored.
Driving
When a limit speed has been memo -
rised, if this speed is not reached the
vehicle behaves in a similar way to a
vehicle without the speed limiter func -
tion.
Once this speed is reached, no effort
on the accelerator pedal will allow
you to exceed the programmed speed
except in an emergency (refer to infor-
mation on “Exceeding the limit speed”).
The system is designed in such a
way that it is possible to detect a dif-
ference between the programmed
speed and the speed shown on the
instrument panel.
v arying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by
pressing repeatedly or holding down:
– button 2 to increase the speed,
– button 5 to decrease the speed.

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (continued)
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: depress
the accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
The speed flashes on the instrument
panel (trip computer and warning
system) while the speed is being ex -
ceeded.
When the emergency has passed, re -
lease the accelerator pedal: the speed
limiter function will return as soon as
you reach a speed lower than the limit
speed before the emergency.
Limit speed cannot be maintained
In some driving conditions (for example
when driving up or down a steep gradi -
ent), the system is unable to maintain
the limit speed: the memorised speed
on the instrument panel information dis-
play will flash to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted
when you press:
– button 4, in this case, the limit speed
remains memorised,
– button 1 , in this case, there is no
longer a memorised limit speed.
The instrument panel indicator light
goes out, confirming that the function is
stopped.
Recalling the limit speed
It is possible to recall a memorised
speed by pressing button 3 once.

cRUISE cONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (continued)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is interrupted when you:
– depress the brake pedal,
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox,
– press button 4.
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
memorised.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been memorised, it is
possible to recall it by pressing button 3,
on condition that you are driving faster
than 18 mph (30 km/h) and that you
are sure that the driving conditions are
suitable (traffic, road surface condition,
weather conditions, etc.).
Switching off the function
Press on/off switch 1 : in this case, the
speed is no longer stored.
The instrument panel indicator light
goes out, confirming that the function is
stopped.
Pressing button 2 or 5 reactivates
the cruise control function without
taking into account the memorised
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
