Starting using the
electronic key
With the first press on the "S TA R T/
STOP " button, this indicator lamp
flashes slowly in the instrument panel. Depending on the ambient temperature,
each attempt at starting can take up to
around 30 seconds. During this period,
do not press the "
START/STOP" button
again, or release the clutch pedal or
brake pedal (depending on the type of
gearbox).
After this period, if the engine has not
started, press the " START/STOP"
button again for another attempt at
starting. If one of the starting conditions
is not met, the Keyless Entry and
Starting system indicator lamp flashes
in the instrument panel. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "
START/STOP " button to
assist unlocking of the steering.

that the electronic key remains with
the vehicle until the end of the journey:
other wise you would not be able to lock
the vehicle.

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter (VTi 82 engine)
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
this can be done whatever the speed of the
vehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
20 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is paused by 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
release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle
returns to the programmed speed limit. System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.Steering mounted controls

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the
four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.
F
P
ress this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
