While the memorised speed is being exceeded, the displayed speed fl ashes.
You have only to release the accelerator pedal to return below the maximum speed, to restore the function.
Remark: If during speed limitation the system cannot keep to the maxi mum speed (especially on a steep descent or if you accelerate too hard), the speed fl ashes. Adapt your speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when your speed has returned below the desired maximum.
To cancel the functionBy moving the control from position “LIMIT” to position 0.Or stop the engine.
The speed that you chose is memorised.

Dimension of the spare wheel
If your spare wheel has dimensions different from those of the normal vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a label), it is imperative to use the spare wheel only temporarily, to drive with caution, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the tyre repaired and the normal wheel refi tted as soon as po ssible.

Because the aerosol is pressurised, do not expose it to temperatures higher than 50°C.
After provisionally repairing a tyre using the repair aerosol, you are advised not to drive at over 80km/h.
If your vehicle has no spare wheel, a repair aerosol is to be found in the boot.
Using the repair aerosol
See also the user instructions on the aerosol.Remove, if possible, the object which has caused the punc-ture.
Orient the wheel so that the valve is at ten o’clock or two o’clock.Shake the aerosol vigorously (in cold weather warm it in your hands for a few minutes).
With one hand hold the valve connector clear of the rim hole, with the other hand press the end of the aerosol nozzle fi rmly onto the connector, keeping it in the line of the valve.Firmly maintain the pressure for one minute.
Rapidly remove the aerosol and immediately drive for around six miles.
Reinfl ate the tyre and check its condition after some ten hours.
After using the repair aerosol, you should have the condition of the tyre, as well as its infl ation pressure, inspected.

Advice - Recommendations
A punctured tyre should always be removed from the rim and thoroughly examined for dam-age before attempting any repair. When a repair is possible, it should be carried out as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tyre.
Tyre repair should be carried out by a tyre specialist who will assume responsibility for the repair.Note:The towing eye is stowed either in the repair aerosol box or in the tool kit.
If there are two repair aerosols, this means that you need to use both of them for the temporary repair of the tyre.
