When the system is activated, The "Cruise
control" warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel:
CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, without use of the
accelerator pedal.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 18 mph (30 km/h) with at least second
gear engaged on the manual gearbox.
Selecting the function
- Place the ring in the
ON position. The cruise
control is selected but
is not yet active and
no speed has been
programmed.
First activation/
Programming a speed
- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.
- Move the control up (+) for at least one
second then release it.
This programmes the reference speed. You
can release the accelerator pedal, and the
vehicle will maintain this speed.
Temporarily exceeding
of the speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive momentarily at
a speed greater than the
programmed speed (for
example to overtake another vehicle).
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
Deactivation
- Press the brake or
clutch pedal.
The cruise control is also deactivated if the
ABS or ESP system is invoked.
