2016 RENAULT SCENIC cruise control

2.34
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 or 2 Main “On/Off” switch.
3 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
4 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).
6 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 or 2,  side.
Warning light
 comes on, lit green,
and the message “Cruise ctrl” appears
on the instrument panel A, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx.
18 mph (30 km/h)), press switch 3 (+):
the function is activated and the current
speed is saved. The cruising speed re-
places the dashes and the activation of
the cruise control is confirmed, depend-
ing on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.
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.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– 5 switch (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In these three cases, the cruising
speed remains stored and the mes-
sage “Memorised” accompanied by this
speed appears on the instrument panel.
Switching to standby is confirmed, de-
pending on the vehicle:
– by the disappearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area no longer being lit up in green.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
The cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel and, depending on the
vehicle, the display area lights up in
red to inform you that the limit speed is
being exceeded.
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: this speed flashes on
the instrument panel and, depending
on the vehicle, the display area will light
up in red.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 3 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 4 (-) to reduce 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 3
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function 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 stopped
if you press switch 1 or 2: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
warning light
 on the instrument
panel A goes out, confirming that the
function is stopped.
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 6 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed, the
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed, depending on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.
