Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N and
that the handbrake is applied. With the ignition on, if the warn-

replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The speed limiter is
switched on man-

On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent

(90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons
2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
