CRUISE CONTROL-SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (1/3)

Switching on

Press switch 1 on side . The indica-

^{tor light} comes on, lit orange, and

the message “Speed limiter” appears

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by dashes to indicate that the speed

limiter function is activated and waiting

to store a limited speed.

To store the current speed, press the

switch 2 on side a (+): the limited speed

will replace the dashes.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

The speed limiter function helps you

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Controls for:

a speed limiter activation, memory

and increase (+);

b decreasing the speed limiter (-).

3 Activation and recall of memorised

limited speed (R).

4 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

If you wish, you can associate the

speed limiter and the “Overspeed

alert” function (please refer to the in-

formation on the “Overspeed alert”

in Section 2).

Varying the limit speed

Exceeding the limit speed

The speed limiter can be changed by

repeatedly pressing the switch 2:

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any time. To do this: press the accel-

erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond

the resistance point).

– side a (+) to increase the speed;

– side b (-) to reduce the speed.

While the speed is being exceeded, the

speed limiter flashes red on the instru-

ment panel.

Then, release the accelerator: the

speed limiter function will return as

soon as you reach a speed lower than

the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limited speed: the memorised speed

flashes red on the instrument panel and

a beep sounds at regular intervals to

inform you.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

2.52

CRUISE CONTROL-SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been saved, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 3 ((R)).

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is sus-

pended when you press switch 4 (O).

In this case, the speed limit remains

stored and the message “Memorised”

accompanied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The orange

 warning light and message on the

instrument panel goes out to confirm

that the function is deactivated.

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing side a (+) on

the switch 2 reactivates the func-

tion without taking into account

the stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

2.53

OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)

Once the speed limiter is activated, you

can adjust the speed limiter indication

displayed by the system.

Operating principle

The system detects speed limit signs

on the side of the road and displays the

speed limit.

This mainly uses information taken

from the camera 1, attached to the

windscreen behind the rear-view mirror.

In the event of exceeding the speed

limit, the sign display is modified (the

characters change to red or the circle

around the sign flashes) no notify you.

Note: Make sure the windscreen is not

obstructed (dirt, ice, snow, etc.).

Vehicle fitted with a navigation

system

– If the vehicle is travelling in a coun-

try where the speed units differ from

those of the vehicle, the system dis-

plays the speed limit sign in the unit

of the country, alongside the speed

limit converted to the unit used by the

vehicle’s instrument panel.

– For countries where the speed limit

is reduced during rainy weather on

some types of roads, the system can

modify the limited speed after a few

seconds of wiping the windscreen.

With the engine running, once you have

activated the system, dashes on the in-

strument panel notify the driver that the

system is running.

When a speed limit sign is detected,

this speed will replace the dashes for

a few seconds, after which the dashes

will come on again until the next speed

limit sign is detected.

The overspeed alert with signage panel

recognition notifies the driver that they

are exceeding the speed limit for the

section of road on which they are cur-

rently travelling.

Special situation

The system does not take into account

exceptional speed limit measures, such

as peak pollution days.

2.54

OVERSPEED ALERT (2/3)

– repeatedly press the control 6 up or

down until you reach the Speed alert

menu, then press the switch 5 OK.

– Press OK to turn the function on or

off.

Varying the limit speed

If the speed limiter notification differs

from the detected speed value, press

and hold the switch 4:

– side a (+) to increase the notification

speed to the detected speed;

– side b (-) to reduce the notification

speed to the detected speed.

With the function activated and de-

pending on local laws, you can activate

the “increased vigilance zones”. The

system will notify you of the distance

separating you from this zone, and

while you are travelling in the zone.

Activating/deactivating the

system

OVERSPEED ALERT (3/3)

Operating fault

The system cannot detect the speed

limit if:

This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not

under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention

of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

– the windscreen is not clean;

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-

gardless of the system indications.

– the camera is blinded by the sun;

The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detect

other traffic signage.

– there is insufficient visibility (night,

fog, etc.);

The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system

and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.

– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.)

or are hidden (by another vehicle or

by trees);

In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system

may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.

– the information taken from the navi-

gation system is not up to date.

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of

the system indications.

2.57

CRUISE CONTROL-SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above approx.

20 mph (30 km/h)), press the switch 2

on side a (+): the function is activated

and the current speed is saved.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and cruise control is confirmed by the

appearance of the message “Check

.

If you try to activate the function below

20 mph (30 km/h), the message “Invalid

speed” will be displayed and the func-

tion will remain inactive.

Switching on

Driving

Once a cruising speed is memorised

and the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Press switch 1 on side .

^{Indicator light} comes on, lit green,

and the message “Check cruise con-

trol” appears on the instrument panel,

accompanied by dashes to indicate that

the cruise control function is activated

and waiting to store a cruising speed.

Please note that you are

strongly advised to keep

your feet close to the pedals

in order to react in an emer-

gency.

2.58

CRUISE CONTROL-SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal. While overtaking, the cruis-

ing speed flashes red on the instrument

panel.

Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

cally return to its set cruising speed.

inform you of this situation.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed can be changed by

pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:

– side a (+) to increase the speed;

– side b (-) to reduce the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

2.59

CRUISE CONTROL-SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,

once you are sure that the road con-

ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-

face, weather conditions, etc.). Press

switch 3 (R) if the vehicle speed is

above 20 mph (30 km/h).

When the stored speed is recalled,

activation of the cruise control is con-

firmed by the illumination of the cruis-

ing speed in green, along with the mes-

sage “Check cruise control”.

NB: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– use the switch 4 (O);

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored. The green

 warning light and message on the

instrument panel goes out to confirm

that the function is deactivated.

– the brake pedal;

– depress the clutch pedal or the shift

into neutral if the vehicle has an au-

tomatic gearbox.

In these three cases, the cruising

speed remains stored and the mes-

sage “Memorised” accompanied by this

speed appears on the instrument panel.

Standby is confirmed by the display of

the cruising speed in grey and the mes-

sage “Memorised”.

When the cruise control function

is put on standby, pressing the

switch 2 on side a (+) reactivates

the cruise control function with-

out taking into account the stored

speed: it is the speed at which the

vehicle is moving that is taken into

account.

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.
