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 20 mph
( a p p r o x i m a t e l y 3 0 k m / h ) m u s t b e p r o -
grammed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
g r o u p e d t o g e t h e r i n z o n e
A of the
instrument panel screen.

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
( 1 k m / h ) a n d a s u s t a i n e d p r e s s i n
s t e p s o f 3 m p h ( 5 k m / h ) .
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 on the
instrument panel. The information
"OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, press-

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 circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
p n e u m a t i c s p r i n g s i n fl a t e i n o r -
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
s p r i n g s d e fl a t e t o r e t u r n t h e v e -
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic
s p r i n g s m a y i n fl a t e i f n e c e s s a r y
