CRUISE CONTROL - SPEED LIMITER: cruising function
The cruise control function helps
you to maintain your driving speed
at a speed that you choose, called
the
cruising speed.
This set speed can be adjusted
continuously from 18 mph or
(30 km/h) .
The cruising function
does not affect the
braking system.
Controls
1 Main On/Off switch
2 Cruising
speed storage and
adjustment Increasing the
cruising speed
3 Retrieving the cruising speed
4 Switching the function off (with
stored cruising speed)
5 Cruising speed storage and

Indicator light
This green indicator light on the
instrument panel lights up to
indicate that the cruising function is
in operation.
The
stored speed information
appears on information display 6
“cruise control”.
This function is an
additional driving aid.
However, the function
does not take the place of the
driver. Thus, it can, under no
circumstances,
replace the
driver's responsibility to respect
speed limits and to be vigilant
(the driver must always be ready
to brake).
The cruise control must not be
used
in heavy traffic, on
undulating or slippery roads
(black ice, aquaplaning, gravel)
and during inclement weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accident.
