Many
Citroën,
[2] Mercedes Benz,
[3] Peugeot,
[4] Renault[5] as well as some
Ford[6] car and van models have driver-controlled
speed limiters fitted or available as an optional accessory which
can be set by the driver to any desired speed;
the limiter
can be overridden if required
by pressing hard on the accelerator.
The limiter may be considered
as setting the maximum speed (with throttle
kickdown to override it) easing the throttle to reduce speed,
whereas cruise control sets the minimum speed (with the brake pedal to override it) pressing on the throttle to increase speed. The limiter may shift down through automatic gears to hold the maximum speed
