System management
The speed limiter is a device that allows you to set a certain maximum speed. It can be useful, for example, when driving in the city or in places where speed limits have been introduced (Men at work) and so on. This system can be used when the driving speed reaches approximately 30 km/h.
This orange warning light illuminates on the instrument panel to indicate that the speed limiter has been activated.
When the function is enabled, a message appears on the instrument panel «limiter» and dash.
Pic. 1.91. System management: 1 – memorizing and incrementally increasing the speed value supported by the speed limiting system; 2 - call from the memory of the saved value of the speed limit; 3 - disable the function (with memorizing the value of the speed limit); 4 - memorization and step-by-step decrease in the speed supported by the speed limiter system

Turning on the system
Pic. 1.90. Cruise Control/Speed Limiter Master Switch
Click on the side switch (pic. 1.90). The control lamp on the instrument panel will light up, and, depending on the vehicle equipment, the on-board computer or the matrix display will switch to the speed limit mode.
Enabling speed limit mode
Pic. 1.91. System management: 1 – memorizing and incrementally increasing the speed value supported by the speed limiting system; 2 - call from the memory of the saved value of the speed limit; 3 - disable the function (with memorizing the value of the speed limit); 4 - memorization and step-by-step decrease in the speed supported by the speed limiter system
At constant speed (from 30 km/h) press switch 2 - the speed value will be memorized (pic. 1.91).
Car driving
When the speed limit value is memorized by the system, driving is the same as normal until the set speed is reached. Any action on the accelerator pedal will not allow you to exceed the programmed speed, except in emergency cases.
Changing the speed limit value
Pic. 1.91. System management: 1 – memorizing and incrementally increasing the speed value supported by the speed limiting system; 2 - call from the memory of the saved value of the speed limit; 3 - disable the function (with memorizing the value of the speed limit); 4 - memorization and step-by-step decrease in the speed supported by the speed limiter system
You can change the speed limit value by successive short presses or long presses (see fig. 1.91):
- press button 2 to increase the speed value;
- on button 5 to decrease the speed value.
Exceeding the speed limit in an emergency
At any time, you can exceed the speed limit, to do this: sharply press the accelerator pedal all the way (overcoming her resistance).
During the overspeed time, the instrument panel display shows the value of the set speed.
When it is no longer necessary to overspeed, release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function will be restored immediately, as soon as the speed value drops below the previously set value.
The limiter cannot maintain the set speed limit if the system is unable to maintain the set speed limit (e.g. when driving down a steep hill), while the value of the set speed flashes on the instrument panel.
System shutdown
The speed limit system is deactivated when pressed:
- buttons 3 - in this case, the speed value remains in the system memory, and a message appears on the instrument panel display «Value stored»;
- button 1 - in this case, the speed value does not remain in the system's memory, and the control lamp on the instrument panel goes out, confirming the deactivation of the function.

Recalling a Stored Speed Limit
If the value of the set speed is stored in memory, it can be restored by pressing button 3 pressed until the inscription «Speed limiter».
