System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect.
Speed limiter
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted controls.

Operation
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply

Displays in the instrument panel
Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gearbox
system or automatic gearbox, in sequential
driving mode,
- position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the
fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. To check the level or top up the
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp
washers, immobilise the vehicle and
switch of the engine.
Screenwash / headlamp
wash fluid level
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with ar ticles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.
