The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
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.

any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which
is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Cruise control
The cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-

f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-

s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
position A on an electronic gearbox or
position D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.

Rear parking sensors
Activation
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
obstacles located just below the bumper.The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:
-

a
n audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-

a g
raphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks which
become increasingly closer to the vehicle. On completion of the manoeuvre, when you
exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre,
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "
da

nger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.

144
You can activate or deactivate the system by
means of the multifunction screen configuration
menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking
sensors menu, refer to " Vehicle configuration"
or " Vehicle parameters" section for your
multifunction screen.
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal (short beep) and a
message in the multifunction screen.
Programming
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITR
oËn)
.In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

Reversing camera
a reversing camera is activated automatically
w hen reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the navigation
screen.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The space between the blue lines represents
the width of your vehicle except for the door
mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The red line represents a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper. The audible signal becomes
continuous from this limit.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
