SPEED LIMITER

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

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 Reminder of the stored limit speed and increase of the limit speed (RES/+).

3 Limit speed activation, storage and decrease switch (SET/-).

4 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (0).

Switching on

Press switch 1 on the side showing . The warning light 5 illuminates in orange and, depending on the vehicle, the message “Speed limiter ON” or “Speed Limiter XXX mph (km/h)” 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 3 (SET/-): the limited speed replaces the dashes.

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

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored and provided 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 (RES/+) to increase speed;

- switch 3 (SET/-) to reduce speed.

The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.

If the speed limiter is not available (after several attempts to activate), contact an approved dealer.

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 being exceeded, the programmed speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.

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

When driving down a steep gradient, the system may be unable to maintain the limited speed: the limited speed will flash on the instrument panel and, depending on the vehicle, an audible signal will sound 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). The limit speed remains stored and, depending on the vehicle, the message “Memorised XXX mph (XXX km/h)” appears on the instrument panel accompanied by the stored speed.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be recalled by pressing switch 2 (RES/+).

When the speed limiter is set to standby, pressing switch 3 (SET/-) reactivates the function without taking into account the memorised 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 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.
