Modifying the cruise speed setting
Cruise control must be active.
To modify the cruise speed setting, based on the
current speed of the vehicle:
- Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value
in steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h).
- Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding button 2 or 3 results
in a rapid change in the speed of the
vehicle.
As a
precaution, we recommend setting a
cruise speed fairly close to the current
speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
To change the cruise speed setting using
memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen:
- Press button 5 to display the memorised speed
settings.
- Press the touch screen button for the desired
speed setting.
The selection screen closes after a few moments.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed.
To modify the cruise speed setting using the
speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation shown on the instrument
panel:
- Press button 5 once; a message is displayed to
confirm the memorisation request.
- Press button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed is immediately shown on the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Switching off

the screen.
