DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,
- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.
Programming
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on
(PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode

Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
