Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control A will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release" ac-
tions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.

choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or manual gear
changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of two
driving modes:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.

 automatic mode: selector 1 in
position D ,

 sequential mode: selector 1 in
position M . The position of the selector is dis-
played on the instrument panel, on
the left on multifunction screens
A

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.
