PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
When you are going downhill, your
speed may increase above the set
speed. The system will not apply the
brakes but a warning will be given.
The system allows you to set a speed, to
which the vehicle then becomes limited.
The set speed will become the effective
maximum speed of the vehicle, but with
the option to temporarily exceed this limit
if required.
USING THE SPEED LIMITER
Note: The set speed limit can be
intentionally exceeded for a short period if
required, for example when overtaking.
The system is operated by adjustment
controls mounted on the steering wheel.

Intentionally exceeding the set

If the set limit is intentionally exceeded the
