The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed.

This cruising speed can be set at any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).

Controls

1.

Main "On/Off" switch.

2.

Recall the stored cruising speed and increase the cruising speed (RES/+).

3.

Activate, store and decrease the cruising speed (SET/˗).

4.

Put the function on standby (with cruising speed stored) (0).

Switching on

Press switch 1 on the side showing .

The 6 indicator light illuminates in green and, depending on the vehicle, the "Cruise control ON" message or the "Cruise control --- mph (--- km/h)" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the cruise control function is in operation and waiting to store a cruising speed.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h)) press switch 3 (SET/˗): the function is activated and the current speed is stored.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes and the cruise control function is confirmed by the appearance, depending on the vehicle, of the "Cruise control ON" or "Cruise control XXX mph (XXX km/h)" message and the 5 indicator light in green, in addition to the 6 indicator light.

Driving

Once a cruising speed is memorised and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by repeatedly pressing the:

• switch 2 (RES/+) to increase the speed,
• the switch 3 (SET/˗) to reduce the speed.

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal.

While it is being exceeded, the cruising speed flashes on the instrument panel.

Then, release the accelerator pedal: after a few seconds, the vehicle will automatically return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system may be unable to maintain the cruising speed: the stored speed will flash on the instrument panel information display to inform you of this situation.

Putting the function on standby

The function is set to standby if you:

• the switch 4 (0);
• the brake pedal;
• the clutch pedal;

In all three cases, the cruising speed remains stored and, depending on the vehicle, the message "Stored XXX mph (XXX km/h)" appears on the instrument panel.

Standby is confirmed when indicator light goes out.

Returning to the cruising speed

If a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface, weather conditions, etc.). Press the switch 1 (RES/+) if the vehicle speed is above 19 mph (30 km/h).

When the stored speed is recalled, activation of the cruise control is confirmed by the illumination of the indicator light.

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 on standby, pressing the switch 3 (SET/˗) to reactivate the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: the speed at which the vehicle is moving will be taken into account.

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deactivated if you press switch 1 : in this case a speed is no longer stored. The two instrument panel warning lights and go out to confirm that the function is deactivated.
