Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL)
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
!
WARNING:
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) set
speeds must be within local speed
restriction limits. The driver must
always ensure that a safe speed is set,
taking into account the prevailing
traffic and road conditions.
ASL can be used in a situation where
varying vehicle speed is likely but a
maximum speed must not be exceeded.
For example, where a local speed limit is
80km/h (50mph), the set speed could be
at that limit or just under. The driver is
then safe in the knowledge that the local
speed limit cannot be exceeded while
ASL is operating.
If ASL is not selected, cruise control is
always available by simply rotating the
thumb wheel on the right hand side of the
steering wheel to set a cruising speed.
The ASL button allows the driver to select
between cruise control and the automatic
speed limiter. The ASL can be set to any
speed between 30km/h (18mph) and
240 km/h (150 mph).
When ASL is selected, the instrument
panel telltale status light will illuminate.
When the ASL button is pressed again,
the light will extinguish, ASL will be
cancelled and cruise control will be
available again.
