STARTING AND OPERATING

102

The activation of this feature is signaled by the
illumination of the green Speed Limiter icon,
along with the last speed set, in the instrument
cluster display. The Speed Limiter feature can
remain active concurrently with the Cruise
Control system. If a speed limit below the one
indicated in the Cruise Control is selected, the
Cruise Control speed will be lowered to that of the
Speed Limiter. This function remains available in
RACE mode.Speed Limiter Display
SPEED LIMIT PROGRAMMING
The speed limit can be programmed through the
radio system.
To access the function on the main menu, select
the following items in order:
1. Driver Assistance
2. Speed Limiter - Set Speed

By turning the Rotary Pad, the speed increases by
5 mph (5 km/h), from a minimum of 18 mph
(30 km/h) to a maximum of 112 mph (180 km/h).

EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the
programmed speed can be exceeded even with
the device active (e.g. in the event of overtaking).
The device is disabled until the speed drops
below the set limit, after which it reactivates
automatically.
PROGRAMMED SPEED ICON FLASHING
The programmed speed will flash in the following
scenarios:
When the accelerator pedal has been fully
pressed and the vehicle has exceeded the
programmed speed.
Activating the system after setting a limit
below the effective speed of the vehicle.
In the event of overtake acceleration.
DEACTIVATION
The feature can be activated/deactivated
through the radio system.
Deactivating The Device
To access this feature, select the “Driver
Assistance” widget in the radio system, then
select the following items in sequence:
1. Speed Limiter
2. OFF
Automatic Deactivation Of The Device
The device deactivates automatically in the event
of fault in the system. In this case, contact an
authorized dealer. Temporary Signal Loss
When the devices loses the signal, the white
symbol without the speed indication illuminates
on the display.
System Failure
If there is a system failure, the amber symbol
illuminates on the display.
CRUISE CONTROL
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a
constant preset speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the
vehicle speed up to the preset speed to
maintain a distance with the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always
be aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at
a time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise
Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will
be unavailable, and vice versa.

CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20 mph (32 km/h).Cruise Control On/Off Switch
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the left
side of the steering wheel.
While driving downhill, the system could brake
the vehicle to keep the set speed the same.
To Activate
To activate the Cruise Control system, push the
on/off button located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled by the
white warning light illuminating in the instrument
cluster display.
Cruise Control Indicator Light
The Cruise Control function can remain active at
the same time as the Speed Limiter system. If the
set speed is higher than the speed set with the
Speed Limiter, the set speed will be lowered to
that of the Speed Limiter.
To Set A Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Cruise Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push the SET switch up or down and
release to activate. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will maintain the
selected speed automatically.
SET Switch Location
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate beyond the set speed by pressing the
accelerator. When you release the pedal, the
vehicle goes back to the previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system active,
the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the set one.

NOTE:
Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle must
be traveling at a constant speed on a flat surface.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you
want. You could lose control and have an
accident. Always ensure the system is OFF
when you are not using it.
