Renault Symbioz

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

Controls

1.

Switch for selecting/deselecting the driving aids, depending on the vehicle:

• the Active driver assist;
• Adaptive Cruise Control;
• cruise control;
• speed limiter;
• OFF.

2.

Puts the function on standby and stores the limited speed (0).

3.

Recalling the stored limit speed (RES).

4.

Switch to activate and decrease the limit speed or to store the current speed (SET/-).

5.

Switch to activate and increase the limit speed or to recall the stored limit speed (SES/+).

6.

Pop-up button (depending on the vehicle): adapts the speed setpoint to detected speed limits Detection of road signs

Depending on the vehicle, if "OFF" mode is selected before switching off the engine, the "Speed Limiter" function will be activated by default the next time the vehicle is started.

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 1 as many times as necessary to select the speed limiter A. The 7 warning light appears in grey. The "Speed limiter ready: SET to activate" 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.

Note: depending on the vehicle, when the vehicle is started, the speed limiter is automatically selected if the function A or OFF was selected the last time the vehicle was stopped.

To store the current speed, press the 4 switch (SET/-) or the 5 switch (SET/+): the limit speed replaces the dashes and, depending on the vehicle, the 7 warning light appears in white.

The minimum stored speed is:

• 19 mph (30 km/h) for vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox;
• 12 mph (20 km/h) for vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox.

Varying the limit speed

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

• switch 5 (SET/+) to increase the speed;
• switch 4 (SET/-) to reduce speed.

Automatic speed limiter with speed limit sign recognition

(depending on subscription: without a subscription this function cannot be activated. To manage your subscription, see the multimedia instructions.)

Using the camera, the "Road sign detection" function Detection of road signs and the map associated with the subscription, the system automatically limits the vehicle speed when a speed limit road sign is identified and passed.

Exceeding the limit speed

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

When exceeding the speed limit, the speed limit flashes in yellow 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.

Note: depending on the vehicle, it is also possible to exceed the speed limit by pressing the accelerator pedal until it is near the point of resistance. In this case, an beep is emitted in addition to the alert displayed on the instrument panel.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

When driving down a steep slope, the system may not maintain the limit speed: in this case the limited speed flashes in red on the instrument panel and a beep sounds at regular intervals to inform you.

Putting the function on standby

The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 2 (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 switch 3 (RES).

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press the switch 1 to deselect the speed limiter. In this case, the speed is no longer stored

The 7 warning light disappears from the instrument panel to confirm that the function has stopped.
