SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
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. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located behind the
vehicle, however, it will not be able to
detect obstacles located immediately
below the bumper.The parking assistance is
switched on
by engaging reverse gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal.
* According to version.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other
similar object may be detected at
the start of the manoeuvre but may
no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display*, with blocks which move closer to the
vehicle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately thirty centimetres,
the audible signal becomes continuous
and the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction display
version.
The parking assistance is switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.
The rear parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
