Speed limiter (VTi 68 engine)
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
T he   speed   limiter   is   switched on
 m
anually:

v

ehicle.   However,   if   you   are   driving   at   less   than  
2

0   mph   (30   km/h),   the   programmed   speed   will  
b

e   fixed   at   20   mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   paused by operation of the
control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly  
b

eyond   the   point   of   resistance.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply

eturns   to   the   programmed   speed   limit.
The

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and broken   lines.
To
  improve   your   safety,   the   camera   analyses   the   image   and   then   triggers   a   warning   if   the   vehicle   wanders   over   a   lane   marking   (speed   higher   than  
3

0 mph   (50   km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   suitable   for   motor ways   and   dual   carriageways.
The
  lane   departure   warning   system

t

Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
