Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the vehicle speed at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually:
the vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and second gear or higher must be
engaged in the case of a manual gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually, by
an action on the brake or clutch pedal or if the
ASC system is triggered.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.
