SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched
on manually: a speed of at least
30 km/h (around 20 mph) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Steering wheel controls Displays on the instrument
panel
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "LIM" po-
sition. With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed , by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph.
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3 so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed: The information
"OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
display.
While the function is active, press-
ing the accelerator pedal will not en-
able the programmed speed to be
exceeded, except if you press the
pedal hard down to beyond the end-
of-travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of
the observance of speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.

manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or auto-
matic gearbox,
-
position A on an electronic gearbox
or D on an automatic gearbox.

The cruise control commands are
located on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.

The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake

position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached via action on the accelera-
tor, press button 2 or button 4 . The
cruise speed is then memorised. It

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and/or
rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier ...) located behind
the vehicle, however, it will not be
able to detect obstacles located im-
mediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward
gear,
- when the vehicle has been sta- tionary for more than three sec-
onds in forward gear.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction display.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which be- comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
a p p r o x i m a t e l y t w e n t y - fi v e c e n t i m e -
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction display version.
