Flick the “IGNITION” switch to the down (OFF) posit ion

NOTE : The vehicle’s electrics remain switched on
Except in the event of an emergency stop, it’s stri ctly not advised to turn off the
engine using the power supply switch (OFF button).
It is also recommended to wait 30seconds between sw itching off the engine and
switching off the power supply.
Respecting these two recommendations will guarantee optimum operation of the power
steering.
B.6.4.4 Switching off the power supply

Press the “OFF” button of the facia switch panel an d hold there for at least half a second.
The dashboard display is switched off.

upshift and downshift manually (using the lever) or in semi-auto using paddle shift kit.

Please refer to Chapter D-Transmission/shifting for a complete description of the shifting
modes.
B.6.4.6 Pit limiter

The purpose of this function is to limit the vehicl e's speed to 60kph
. It is enabled and
disabled by the driver.
Principle:
By pressing the button “PIT” of the steering wheel, Engine revs are thus limited (by the
ECU) to those corresponding to a speed of 60kph and the message “PIT LIMITER” is
displayed on the dashboard in the RPM Area :

If the pit limiter is activated while the current s peed is > 60kph, all the Shiftlights flashes
together till the vehicle reach 60kph (at this part icular moment, all shiftlights remains ON
but without flashing)


NOTE
: The speed limiter does not control the brakes. Cons equently, the vehicle speed
will only slow rapidly to 60kph if the driver appli es the brakes.

To disable the pit limiter mode, the driver has to press the button “PIT” of the steering
wheel : the message “ Pit Limiter” disappears on the display.

Specific conditions:
The driver may only enable and disable the speed li miter when the vehicle is in on a

B.6.4.8 Resetting the chassis sensors

This procedure allows to reset the following sensor s:
- Front Brake pressure sensor
- Rear brake pressure sensor
- Steering angle sensor
It is necessary to make a reset if one of the follo wing sensor has been changed or if the
brake circuit has been bleeded.
CONDITIONS :


The car must be in the following configuration to a llow the procedure:
- Engine stalled
- Gearbox in Neutral
- Speed = 0 kph
- Brake pedal released
- Steering wheel straight
- Car on a flat surface · Press the “ON” button to power supply the car
· Display the “brake diagnostic” page
· Press the “RESET” button, the following message app ears :

· press again the “RESET” button gain to start the pr ocedure or “PAGE” button
(steering wheel) to cancel it

· Check in the “brake diagnostic” page that the value of :
Front BP = 0 bar
Rear BP = 0 bar
Steering angle = 0 °

This page only reminds
the conditions to
perform the RESET
procedure

You must fit the wiring of the white connector directly on the plastic windscreen lower
grid using a tyrap® as indicated below:



The fire extinguisher is controlled by a deported c ontrol unit fitted on the central tunnel.
A specific fire extinguisher loom allows to link th is control unit + fire extinguisher to the
chassis loom.

Position 1: system isolated

This position is to test the extinguisher loom. Eve rything must be correctly connected to
the loom. When you push the fire button (Facia swit ch panel or from outside deported
button), the green light must go ON but the extinguisher will n ot deploy.


NOTE :
if the green light is ON without testing the syste m, there is a default on the
loom. In this case, you must be careful because the extinguisher is directly connected to
the command box. As a consequence, if you switch to position 3, you will immediately
deploy the extinguisher.
Position 2: battery check


If the orange light goes ON, the battery is ok.
Position 3: system armed


“System armed” means that if you push the fire butt on (Facia switch panel or from
outside deported button), you will immediately depl oy the extinguisher.
The green light goes ON only when the extinguisher is deployed.
