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 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).
5 Activation and recall of memorised limited speed (R).
Switching on
Press the side switch 1 . Warning light comes on, lit orange, and the “SPEED LIMITER” message appears on the instrument panel, accompanied by dashes to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting to store a limit speed.
To store the current speed, press switch 2 (+): The limit 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 the speed;
- switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
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 kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the stored speed will flash on the instrument panel information display to inform you of this situation.
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Putting the function on standby
The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 4 (O). In this case, the limited speed remains stored and the “SPEED MEMORY” message accompanied by this speed appears on the instrument panel.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing switch 5 (R).
When the speed limiter is put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+) reactivates the function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press switch 1. In this case, the speed is no longer stored. The instrument panel orange indicator light goes out to confirm that the function is deactivated.
