This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which can be
programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Ventilation
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the

conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.

further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and
24 is usual.
