The speed limiter function controls the engine to help you not to exceed a driving speed that you have chosen, known as the limit speed.

The speed limiter function can be activated from 20 mph (30 km/h) to 112 mph (180 km/h).

Controls

Dedending on the vehicle, you have control A or B.

1

activates the function and decreases the limit speed or stores the current speed (SET/-).

2

activates the function and increases the limit speed or stores the current speed (SET/+).

3

Depending on the vehicle, adapts the speed setpoint to detect speed limits 2_ALL_490_1_pictogramme.png

4
Selects and deselects the driving aids, depending on the vehicle :
  • Active driver assist (depending on the vehicle);
  • Stop and Go Adaptive cruise control or cruise control (depending on the vehicle);
  • Speed limiter;
  • Off.
5
Put the function on standby (with limited speed stored) (0)
6
Recall the stored limit speed (RES)
7
Activates and increases the limit speed or to set the stored limit speed (RES/+)
8
Speed limiter On/Off
9
Cruise control On/Off
tip
Depending on the vehicle, you can link the speed limiter function to the "Road sign detection" function Detection of road signs by pressing the button 3 or button 7 long.

Driving

When a limit speed has been set but not yet reached, driving is similar to driving a vehicle without the speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on “Exceeding the limit speed”).

Switching on

Press switch 4 or 8. The warning light 2_ALL_076_1_pictogramme.png or 2_ALL_480_1_pictogramme.png appears in grey.

Press switch 1 until the warning light is displayed on the instrument panel.

The 2_ALL_480_1_pictogramme.png warning light is displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

The "Limiter ON" message appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting for a limit speed to be stored.

To store the current speed, press switch 4 (RES/+) or switch 3 (SET/-): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the 2_ALL_480_1_pictogramme.png warning light appears in white.

The minimum speed that can be stored is 19 mph (30 km/h).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or holding down :

  • button 2 (SET/+) or 7 (RES/+) to increase speed ;
  • button 1 (SET/-) to reduce speed.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any time. To do this : press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the resistance point).

While the speed is being exceeded, the speed limiter flashes red on the instrument panel. Then, release the accelerator pedal : the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the memorised speed.

warning

If the speed limiter is not available (after several attempts to activate), contact an approved dealer.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep gradient, the system may not maintain the limit speed : the limit speed flashes in red on the instrument panel and an audible signal sounds at regular intervals to inform you of this situation.

warning

You must keep your feet close to the pedals to be ready to react in an emergency.

Putting the function on standby

The speed limiter function is suspended when you press button 5 (0). The limit speed is stored and displayed in grey on the instrument panel.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing the button 6 or 7.

tip

When the speed limiter is set to standby, pressing the button 1(SET/-) or 2 (SET/+) or 7 (RES/+) reactivates the function without taking into account the memorised speed : the speed at which the vehicle is moving is taken into account.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is interrupted when:

  • you press the button 8 or 4 until the OFF appears on the instrument panel. In this case, the speed is no longer stored ;
  • you press the button 9 or 4 until warning light 2_ALL_075_1_pictogramme.png or 2_ALL_481_1_pictogramme.png appears on the instrument panel. In this case the cruise control is selected and there is no stored speed.

The warning light 2_ALL_076_1_pictogramme.png or 2_ALL_480_1_pictogramme.png disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function is disabled.
