- P r e s s b e h i n d t h e c o n t r o l "-" at the steering wheel to change down.
Observations:
When the vehicle is braking or reducing speed, the gearbox changes down automatically to a suitable gear.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.

Under heavy accelera-tion, a higher gear will only be engaged when the driver actions the gear lever or the controls at the steering wheel.
Note: These controls at the steering do not permit you to select neutral or reverse gear.

This driving assistance device allows you to select a maximum speed that you wish not to exceed. This has to b e a s p e e d g r e a t e r t h a n 3 0 k m / h ( a p p r o x . 2 0 m p h ) .
The speed limiter controls are located on the steering wheel.
Note: The information relating to the limiter is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
To select the function
Turn control 1 to position "LIM".
On selection of the function, the last speed memorised and the information "OFF" will appear:
To adjust the maximum speed
Provided the engine is running, you can adjust the memorised maximum speed, with short or long presses on:
- b u t t o n 4 to increase the memorised maximum speed,
- b u t t o n 2 to decrease the memorised maximum speed.
Note: successive presses modify the memorised speed in steps of 1 k m / h ( 1 m p h ) , a c o n t i n u o u s p r e s s i n s t e p s o f 5 k m / h ( 3 m p h ) .
Activation of the maximum speed
When the desired maximum speed is displayed, press button 3 to activate the limitation.
The information "OFF" then disappears from zone A.
While the function is active, pressing the accelerator pedal will not enable you to go beyond the programmed speed unless you press the pedal hard down past the tight spot (see "Temporary exceeding of the maximum speed").
Note: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.

The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of the vehicle.
We advise the driver to keep their feet close to the pedals.

RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does n o t r e fl e c t o n t h e q u a l i t y o f y o u r r a d i o installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the s t a t i o n t r a n s m i t t e r , t h e r e fl e c t i n g o f signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go t h r o u g h t h e m e m o r y b a n k s F M 1 , F M 2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons Jor M.By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".
S e a r c h f o r a s t a t i o n i s d o n e fi r s t i n "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop a t t h e fi r s t s t a t i o n i t fi n d s o n c e t h e button is released.You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is p o s s i b l e t o s e a r c h m a n u a l l y t o fi n d this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
B r i e fl y p r e s s o n b u t t o n G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button Efor more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.The display shows "FM AST".The radio memorises the 6 strongest transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.After the memorisation, the radio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.
Note:
- I f t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n f u n c t i o n has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.
If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previously memorised stations.
- I f t h e s y s t e m i s u n a b l e t o fi n d 6 s t a t i o n s , t h e u n fi l l e d m e m o r y s l o t s will remain free.
Recall of pre-set stations
Press button E b r i e fl y t o s e l e c t t h e required waveband and memory bank.A short press on one the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P recalls the corresponding memorised station. You can also do this using the control 3 at the steering wheel.If it is a RDS station, the frequency appears some seconds before the name appears.For RDS stations, recall of a station may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).
