The CCS is able to maintain the set speed in
the range from approx. 30 km/h (19 mph) to
180 km/h (112 mph).
Once the speed setting has been saved, you
may take your foot off the accelerator.
When the cruise control is on and a speed is
programmed, the indicator on the instru-
ment panel* is lit.
If the cruise control system is switched off,
the symbol is switched off. The system will
also be switched off fully when the 1st gear
is engaged.*
Switching on the cruise control system
● Move the switch ›››
Fig. 182 1 towards the
l ef
t
to ON.
Setting speed
● Briefly press the lower part of the rocker
switc
h SET– ››› Fig. 182 2 once when you
h av
e r
eached the speed you wish to set.
When you release the rocker switch, the cur-
rent speed is set and held constant.
Switching off the cruise control system
● Move the control 1 towards the right to
OFF or t
urn the ignition off if
the vehicle is
stationary. WARNING
It could be dangerous to use the cruise con-
tro l
system if it is not possible to drive at con-
stant speed.
● Do not use the cruise control system when
driving in den
se traffic, on roads with lots of
bends or on roads with poor conditions (with
ice, slippery surfaces, loose grit or gravel), as
this could cause an accident.
● Always switch the cruise control system off
after u
sing it in order to avoid involuntary
use.
● It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the c
urrent road, traffic or weath-
er conditions. Risk of accident. Note
The cruise control cannot maintain a constant
speed when de s
cending downhill. It will in-
crease due to its own weight. Use the foot
brake to slow the vehicle. Adjusting the stored speed*
The speed can be altered without touching
the ac
c
el
erator or the brake.
Setting a higher speed
● Press the upper part of the rocker switch
RES+ ›››
Fig. 182 2 to increase the speed.
The v
ehic
le will continue to accelerate as
184
Driver assistance systems
long as you keep the rocker switch pressed.
When y
ou r
elease the switch, the new speed
is stored.
Setting a lower speed
● Press the lower part of the rocker switch
SET– ›››
Fig. 182 2 to reduce the speed. The
v ehic
l
e will automatically reduce its speed for
as long as you keep the switch pressed.
When you release the switch, the new speed
is stored.
When you increase speed with the accelera-
tor and then release the pedal, the system
will automatically restore the set speed. This
will not be the case, however, if the vehicle
speed exceeds the stored speed by more
than 10 km/h (6 mph) for longer than 5 mi-
nutes. The speed will have to be stored
again.
Cruise control is switched off if you reduce
speed by depressing the brake pedal. Reacti-
vate the control by pressing once on the up-
per part of the rocker switch RES+ ››› Fig. 182

Temporary deactivation of cruise con-
tr o
l* The cruise control system will be switched off
in the f
o
l
lowing situations:
● if the brake pedal is depressed, ●
if the clut
ch pedal is depressed,
● if the vehicle is accelerated to over
180 km/h (112 mph),
● when the lever 1 is moved in the direction
of
OFF w
ithout
being fully engaged.
To resume cruise control, release the brake or
clutch pedal or reduce the vehicle speed to
less than 180 km/h (112 mph) and press
once on the upper part of the rocker switch RES+ ››› Fig. 182 2 .

Information on fuel consump-
tion Fuel c
onsumption and CO 2 emissions The consumption and emission details
sho
wn on the
v
ehicle data sticker differ from
one vehicle to another.
Vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions
appear on the vehicle data sticker in the
spare wheel well, inside the boot and on the
rear cover of the Maintenance Programme.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emission val-
ues refer to the weight category assigned to
your vehicle according to the engine and
gearbox combination, as well as the specific
equipment fitted, and is only used to com-
pare between the different models. The fuel consumption and CO
2 emiss
ions do
not depend only on the performance of the
vehicle, they can also differ from the estab-
lished values depending on other factors
such as driving style, road conditions, traffic
conditions, environmental conditions, load
and number of passengers.
Calculation of fuel consumption
The consumption values have been calcula-
ted based on measurements performed or
supervised by certified CE laboratories ac-
cording to the latest version of directives
715/2007/EC and 80/1268/CEE (for more in-
formation consult the European Union Publi-
cations Office at EUR-Lex: © European Union,
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm) and
are valid for the kerb weight indicated for the
vehicle. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on
sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t
ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
