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:
 t

his   can   be   done   whatever   the   speed   of   the  
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  
r

elease   the   accelerator   pedal   until   the   vehicle  
r

eturns   to   the   programmed   speed   limit.
The
  programmed   limit   speed   is   erased  
w

hen   switching   off   the   ignition.
Steering mounted controls
The controls are grouped together on this control   stalk   at   the   steering   wheel.

to
exceed
  the   programmed   speed   limit.
The
  speed   limiter   is   deactivated   temporarily

f

lashing   of   the   programmed   speed  
w

hen   exceeding   the   speed   is   not   due   to  
a

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
T he   reversing   camera   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for   the  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.The
  image   is   provided   in   the   touch   screen  
o

nly,   with   an   indication   of   the   limit   of   the   rear  
b

umpers   (red   line)   and   the   general   direction   of  
t

he   vehicle   (blue   lines).Clean
  the   reversing   camera   regularly  
u

sing   a   soft,   dry   cloth.
The
  field   of   vision   covered   by   the   camera   is  
l

imited:   objects   in   the   immediate   proximity   of  
t

he   bumper   or   located   below   it   are   not   visible.
The
  camera's   wide-angle   lens   deforms   the  
i

mage   presented   in   the   screen:   the   distances  
v

isible   in   the   screen   may   be   different   from  
t

he   true   distances.   This   deformation   varies  
a

ccording   to   the   loading   of   the   vehicle   and   the  
s

lope   of   the   road.
High pressure jet washing
When
  washing   your   vehicle,   do   not  
d

irect   the   lance   within   30   cm   of   the  
c

amera   lens.
Never
  reverse   the   vehicle   looking   only  
a

t   the   screen.

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  
c

annot   in   any   circumstances   replace  
t

he   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   driving  
r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every  
two
  hours.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   speed   sensors   with   reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres. The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This   system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  p
articularly   under   arduous   condition  (
high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The   inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For   more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  c
orresponding s ection.
Tyre   pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in  
l

ine   with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The

ystem   has   done   with   the   pressures   in  
t

he   four   tyres   correctly   adjusted.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.
