2015 RENAULT MEGANE HATCHBACK Cruise control

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake). Cruise control
must not be used in heavy traffic, on
undulating or slippery roads (black
ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during
bad weather (fog, rain, side winds
etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and
increase switch (+).
3 Decrease cruising speed (-).
4 Switch the function to standby
(with memorisation of the gov-
erned cruising speed) (O).
5 Activation with recall of stored gov-
erned cruising speed (R).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing .
Warning light 7 comes on, lit green, and
the message “Cruise control” appears
on the instrument panel and dashes
appear in zone 6 to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/h) approximately) press
switch 2 (+): the speed is stored. The
cruising speed will appear in zone 6.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when area A lights up green in addition
to indicator light 7. Area B also lights
up green to indicate that the cruising
speed has been reached.
Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.

Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– press switch 4 (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored, it is no longer displayed in
zone 6 and the message “Memorised”
along with the stored speed will appear
on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when zones A, B
and C go out.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. The cruising speed flashes
on the instrument panel along with the
illumination of zone C in red.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed on the
instrument panel will flash and zone C
will light up in red to inform you of this
situation.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+)
reactivates the cruise control func-
tion without taking into account the
stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The instru-
ment panel green indicator light 7 and
zones A , B and C go out, confirming
that the function is deactivated.
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.

Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.).
Press switch 5 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed
zone A lights up to confirm activation.
Zone B lights up as soon as the cruis-
ing speed is reached.
