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 unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
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 remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.






This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in this

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.

situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.

Parking lamps

Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.

Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up
or down depending on the traffic side (for
example: when parking on the left; lighting
control stalk upwards; the right hand
sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to position 0 or switch on
the ignition. Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.

This automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. The driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting and its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic.
The system may suffer inter ference or
not work correctly:


- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),

- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the sensor,

- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.


The system is not able to detect:


- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,

- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),

- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
