Operation in manual mode
Move the selector to position M .
Paddle controls
behind the steer-
ing wheel
The paddles behind the steering
wheel give you access to the six for-
ward gears. - In manual mode, it is not neces-
sary to release the accelerator
completely during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
down may be performed auto-
matically.
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change up
will not occur unless the driver op-
erates the paddle.
Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
p r e s s i n g d o w n fi r m l y .
Vehicle stationary,
with the engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N . Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, you can
choose:
to leave the vehicle in neutral;
move the selector to position N .
to leave the vehicle with a gear
engaged ( R , A or M ); place the
selector in the chosen position
prior to stopping the engine. In
this case, the vehicle cannot be
moved.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in
the instrument panel.
Do not use the accelerator to hold
your vehicle on a gradient. Use ei-
ther the brake pedal or the parking
brake.
Before doing anything in the en-
gine compartment, check that the
selector is in neutral N .
Changing gear
Pull the " + " paddle to change up
a gear.
Pull the " - " paddle to change
down a gear.
The paddles do not permit you to se-
lect neutral or reverse gear, or to exit
reverse gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gearbox
c h a n g e s d o w n a u t o m a t i c a l l y , t o fi r s t
gear if needed.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched
on manually: a speed of at least
20 mph (around 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Steering wheel controls
The speed limiter controls are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A of the
instrument panel display.
Programming
Rotate the control 1 to the "LIM" po-
sition.
On selection of the function, the
previous memorised speed and the
information "OFF" are displayed on
the instrument panel.
With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph. Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button
3 so that
the limitation is activated.
The information "OFF" then disappears from the instrument panel display.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be ex-
ceeded, except if you press the pedal
hard down to beyond the end-of-
travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
Deactivation
Press on button 3 .
This action causes the information
"OFF" to appear on the instrument
panel display.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel.

D R I V I N G
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or
automatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic
gearbox or D on an automatic
gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are
located on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display. Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Activation
On selection of the function via con-
trol 1, no cruise speed has yet
been memorised.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
