It lightens when the light (light beam of
following vehicles, sun...) decreases, so
guaranteeing optimum visibility.
In order to guarantee optimum
visibility during your manoeu-
vres, the mirror lightens auto-
matically when reverse gear is
engaged.

DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from

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 man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
o f a t l e a s t 2 0 m p h ( 3 0 k m / h ) .
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
T h e p r o g r a m m e d s p e e d c a n b e e x c e e d e d
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
fi r m l y .
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. Steering wheel controls
