SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
When the limit speed is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched
on manually: a speed of at least
20 mph (approx. 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter can in no way re-
place respect for speed limits or vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Steering mounted controls
The speed limiter switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. Displays on the instrument
panel
The speed limiter information is dis-
played in zone

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 (40 km/h) and you
must be in at least:
- 4th gear for manual gearboxes,
- 2nd gear for automatic gearboxes. Displays on the instrument
panel

control mode " CRUISE ".
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The selection is confi rmed by the
display of the function in zone
A of
the instrument panel.
When the function is selected, no
cruising speed has yet been
memorised . Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button
1 or button 2 . The cruising
speed is then memorised and cruise
control is activated. The cruising
speed is displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel, and "ON" is dis-
played.
Adjustment of the memorised
speed while cruise control is
in operation
You can adjust the memorised speed, displayed in zone A , by pressing:
- Button 1 to increase the speed.
- Button 2 to reduce the speed.
Successive presses will modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
continuous press in steps of 5 mph.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The vehicle speed may vary slightly
from that memorised.
If during cruise control the system
cannot keep to the cruise speed
(e.g. on a steep descent), then the
speed fl ashes. If necessary, brake to
curb your speed.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the park-
ing space available between two
vehicles or obstacles. It measures
the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of fi tting into a free space, depending on the dimen-
sions of your vehicle and the
distances necessary for your
manoeuvring,
- the level of diffi culty of the ma- noeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spac-
es which are clearly much smaller or
larger than the size of the vehicle. Displays on the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent states:
-
off: the function is not selected,
- on fi xed: the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indicator
not operating, speed too high) or
the measurement is terminated,
- fl ashing: measurement is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed. You can select the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing button
A.
The fi xed lighting of the warning lamp
indicates that the function is selected.
During the measurement, the mes-
sage "Measurement in progress -
Vmax 20 km/h (12 mph)" is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.

Reactivation
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.

 Press button A again, the warn-
ing lamp switches off, the system
is reactivated.
"HYDRACTIVE III +" ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and fi rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing button A . Display on the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft
damping for maximum com-
fort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceed-
ed, the vehicle reverts automatically
to the normal road position.
SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic
driving.
The warning lamp on but-
ton A comes on in addition
to the message on the in-
strument panel screen.

SPORT mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.
