CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
1 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
2 Cruising speed decrease switch (-).
3 Switch the function to standby (with stored cruising speed) (O).
4 Activation with recall of stored gov- erned cruising speed (R).
5 Main “On/Off” switch.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 5 on the side showing .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/h) approximately) press
switch 1 (+) or 2 (-): the function is acti-
vated and the current speed is memo-
rised.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when indicator light 7 lights up in addi-
tion to indicator light 6.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
after a few seconds, the vehicle will
automatically return to its set cruising
speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 1 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 2 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 5: in this case
a speed is no longer memorised.
The
and indicator lights on the
instrument panel go out, confirming that
the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed is memorised, it can be re-
called, once you are sure that the road
conditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.).
With a vehicle speed above 20 mph
(30 km/h), press switch 4 (R).
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control is set to
standby, pressing switch 1 (+) re-
activates the cruise control func-
tion without taking into account the
memorised speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– press button 3 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox
In all three cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and the message
“SPEED MEMORY” appears on the in-
strument panel.
standby is confirmed when green
indicator light goes out.

VEHICLE WITH OVERSPEED FUNCTION
The vehicle speed may be permanently
set at a fixed value depending on the
vehicle or on local legislation.
To adjust the value or activate/deacti-
vate the function, consult an approved
dealer.
In the event of statutory limits (depend-
ing on the vehicle), this function may
not be deactivated.
Label 1 attached to the dashboard
shows the speed limit. Special case:
if your vehicle is fitted
with the Cruise control/Speed limiter,
fully depressing the accelerator pedal
(beyond the kickdown point) will not
allow you to exceed the overspeed
function set speed (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Speed limiter” in Section 2).
In exceptional circumstances (e.g.
steep gradient), the overspeed
function speed may be exceeded
slightly as the function does not
affect the braking system.
The function does not take
the place of the driver.
Under no circumstances
should it replace observa-
tion of speed limits nor vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the
driver.

The self-locking differential controls the
torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on
the road surface, and at low speeds
(under 20 mph / 30 kph), this device en-
ables wheel torque to move automati-
cally, thereby providing increased grip.
This enables the grip potential of each
wheel to be used to the fullest possi-
ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle
to run over areas with decreased grip
(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces
with normal grip (eg: return to paved
roads), the self-locking differential
device will be deactivated, sometimes
accompanied by a noise (with no con-
sequence to vehicle behaviour). You
have the option of turning this device
off yourself, once normal grip condi-
tions have resumed, by briefly releas-
ing the accelerator
SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-
crease the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (2/6)
Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The display indicates gears N and A.
– With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards then
release it.
– Release the brake pedal and accel- erate gently to move forwards. Reverse gear
(vehicle stationary)
– Brake pedal depressed. Push the
selector lever towards the right and
to the rear as shown on the base
of the lever, and then release it.
Reverse gear is engaged and the
letter R appears on the display.
– Release the brake pedal: – the engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres;
– accelerate gently to reverse.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever for-
wards once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: when the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,
warning light 5 will come on.

Exactly like a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a vehicle equippe\
d
with a sequential gearbox is unable to prevent the vehicle from rolling \
on
a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the brake pedal constantly de\
-
pressed.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (3/6)
Operation in semiautomatic
mode (manual)
This mode can be activated at any time
when driving by pushing the lever to the
left. The mode is switched without shift-
ing up a gear.
You can initiate gear changes using the
selector lever.
To shift up a gear, push the selector
lever forwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted.
To shift down a gear, push the selector
lever backwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted. The system will not tolerate a series
of up or down changes that cause the
engine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(except if underrevving). By pushing
the lever backwards twice you can
move down two gears at a time (unless
this causes overrevving).
When decelerating with the foot off
the pedal, the gears will automatically
drop to the low engine speed limit to
avoid stalling. First gear automatically
shifts below a certain speed limit. You
can stop the vehicle at red lights or
junctions etc. by depressing the brake
pedal; there is no need to change to
neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary when the brake pedal is
depressed (if you forget, warning
light 5 will light up).
Push the gear selector lever to the right
to engage neutral.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the opti-
mum gear.
Semiautomatic mode can be deacti-
vated and reactivated at any time when
the engine is running by pushing the
lever to the left.
