Speed limiter
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.
- Controls for:
- a.
- activate, store and increase the limited speed (+) ;
- b.
- decrease the limited speed (-).
- 3.
- Activation and recall of stored limited speed (RES).
- 4.
- Puts the function on standby and stores the limited speed (0).
Switching on
Press the switch 1 on the 
side. The indicator light appears in orange on the instrument panel, accompanied by dashes
to indicate that the speed limiter function is activated and waiting to store a limited
speed.
side. The indicator light appears in orange 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 on side a (+): the limited speed replaces the dashes.
The minimum speed that can be stored is 19 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 limited speed setpoint can be changed by repeatedly pressing the switch 2:
- on side a (+) to increase the speed;
- on side b (-) to decrease the speed.
WARNING
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this, press the accelerator
pedal firmly down beyond the point of resistance.
While the speed is being exceeded, the speed limiter flashes red on the instrument
panel.
Then, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon
as you reach a speed lower than the memorised speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limited speed:
the stored speed will flash in red on the instrument panel and a beep sounds at regular
intervals to inform you of this situation.
Putting the function on standby
The speed limiter function is suspended when you press switch 4 (0). In this case, the limited speed remains stored and the stored speed appears on
the instrument panel.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing the switch 3(RES).
Tip
When the speed limiter is on standby, press side a(+) of the switch 2 to reactivate the function without taking into account the stored speed: the current
vehicle speed is registered.
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.
