System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it r

Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

The cruise control is paused
by pressing

"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection
of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
v

The
system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
t

The
regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
b
etween the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When
the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 mph
(
30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting, to signal that
a

"Cruise control

the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and
