SPEED LIMITER

The speed limiter function helps you stay within the driving speed limit that you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Limit speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).

3 Decreasing the limit speed (-).

4 Activation and recall of memorised limit speed (R).

5 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).

Switching on

Press the side switch 1 . Indicator light 6 comes on, lit orange, and the message “SPEED LIMITER” appears on the instrument panel, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting to store a limited speed.

To store the current speed, press switch 2 (+): the limited speed will replace the dashes.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph (30 km/h).

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored and this speed is not 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”).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by repeatedly pressing:

- switch 2 (+) to increase speed;

- switch 3 (-) 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 exceeded, the speed limit flashes on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, a beep sounds.

Then, release the accelerator: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limited speed: the memorised speed flashes 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 the switch 5 (O). In this case, the limit speed remains stored and, depending on the vehicle:

- the message” Memorised ” and stored speed are displayed on the instrument panel.

- the stored speed is displayed between <xxx> markers on the instrument panel.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been saved, it can be recalled by pressing switch 4 ((R)).

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deactivated if you press switch 1: in this case a speed is no longer stored. The orange instrument panel warning light  goes out, confirming that the function is stopped.
