CRUISE CONTROL

(CONSTANT SPEED

REGULATOR)

GENERAL

The electronic cruise control allows

to drive your car at the required

speed without pressing the accelera-

tor pedal. This reduces fatigue when

driving on motorways, especially

during long journeys, because the

set speed is automatically main-

tained.

IMPORTANT The device can only

be set to speeds exceeding 30 km/h

(40 to 180 km/h for 2.4 JTD 20V

CAE version).

The cruise control must

only be used when the

road and traffic condi-

tions allow to keep a constant

speed in total safety for an ade-

quately long time.

CONTROLS (fig. 143)

The cruise control is operated by

means of switch A, ring B and but-

ton C (RCL).

Switch A has two positions:

– OFF in this position, the device is

off

– ON this is the normal device

operating position. When the device

is ON, symbol Ü lights up on the

multifunction display, together with

message “CRUISE CONTROL ON”.

Ring B is used to set and maintain

the car speed or to increase or

decrease the set speed.

The device is automatically

switched off when:

– the brake pedal is pressed

– the clutch pedal is pressed

– the gear lever is unintentionally

shifted to N.

In versions with auto-

matic transmission, never

shift the lever to N when

the car is running.
