The cruise control system can-
not, in any circumstances, re-
place the need to respect speed
limits, nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your
feet near the pedals at all times.

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum ve-
hicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and
engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gear-
box system or automatic gearbox,
in sequential driving mode,
- position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on an automatic gear-
box.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
