Driving

Cruise control – particular

recommendations

Programmable cruise

control

Refer to the General recommendations

on the use of driving and manoeuvring

aids and to Cruise control – particular

recommendations.

Exceeding the programmed speed

setting

The speed setting can be exceeded

temporarily by pressing the accelerator

pedal (the programmed speed flashes).

To return to the speed setting, release

the accelerator pedal (when this speed is

reached again, the display of the speed

stops flashing).

For the safety of everyone, only use the

cruise control where the driving conditions

allow running at a constant speed and

keeping an adequate safety distance.

Remain vigilant when the cruise control

is activated. If you hold one of the speed

setting modification buttons, a very rapid

change in the speed of your vehicle may

occur.

When descending a steep hill, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the set speed. Brake if

necessary to control the speed of your

vehicle.

This system automatically keeps

the vehicle's speed at the cruise

value programmed by the driver

(speed setting), without using the

accelerator pedal.

situations:

The cruise control is switched on manually.

It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph

(40 km/h).

the Stop & Go function),

With a manual gearbox, it requires the

engagement of third gear or higher.

With an automatic gearbox, it requires the

engagement of mode D or of second gear or

higher in mode M.
