Speed limiter

~1min read

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.

When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal manner no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter is switched on manually: it requires a programmed speed of at least 30 km/h.

The speed limiter is switched off by manual operation of the control.

The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the accelerator fi rmly.

To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.

The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
