The Cruise Control function - constant speed governor - allows the driver to drive the car at a constant speed without pressing the accelerator pedal.The function is managed by the engine control unit. This receives commands from a Cruise Control lever on the left of the steering wheel beneath the stalk switch unit.The function is engaged by turning the wheel (ON).When a speed is set ( SET + , SET - ), the setting is saved and may be called up at any time ( RCL ).The function is automatically deactivated:
by pressing the brake pedal;
by turning the wheel to OFF;
by switching off the engine;
In such cases, the last speed achieved is stored and can be recalled by pressing the RCL button.The system also deactivates at speeds below the minimum permitted speed (about 30 km/h).When the system is on, a warning light on the instrument panel comes on and is managed by the Cruise Control control unit.
