(

below   42   mph   (70   km/h)   or   above   93   mph   (150   km/h),   approximately).   However,   when

Memorising
This function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the c
ruise   control   (for   a   vehicle   cruising   speed).
You
  can   memorise   up   to   six   speed   settings   for   each   of   the   two   systems.   By   default,   some   speed   settings   are   already   memorised.
