Driving
Cruise control – particular
recommendations
Programmable cruise
control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control – particular
recommendations.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and
keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may
occur.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
This system automatically keeps
the vehicle's speed at the cruise
value programmed by the driver
(speed setting), without using the
accelerator pedal.
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h).
-
in an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
in heavy traffic (except versions with
the Stop & Go function),
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M.
-
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
-
-
-
-
-
-
on winding or steep roads,
on slippery or flooded roads,
in unfavourable climatic conditions,
driving on a speed circuit,
driving on a rolling road,
use of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start.
