DRIVING
When the cruise control is
switched on, be careful if you
maintain the pressure on one of
the programmed speed chang-
ing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed
of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
s l i p p e r y r o a d s o r i n h e a v y t r a f fi c .
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent

then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.:
7 0 m p h ( 1 1 0 k m / h ) ) .
You can then change the programmed speed using but-
tons 2 and 3 :
- b y + o r - 1 m p h ( k m / h ) = s h o r t p r e s s ,
- b y + o r - 5 m p h ( k m / h ) = l o n g p r e s s ,
- i n s t e p s o f + o r - 5 m p h ( k m / h ) = m a i n t a i n e d p r e s s .
Exceeding the programmed speed

s u l p h a t e ( w h i t i s h o r g r e e n i s h d e p o s i t ) ,
remove them and clean them.
It is advisable to disconnect
the battery if the vehicle is to
be left unused for more than
one month. Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi r s t .
Batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the
doors before disconnecting the
battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignition

LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air condi-
tioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
