When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the

impede deployment of the strip and its
correct operation.

the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.

Speed limiter
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 unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
to r
eturn to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
th

e speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
th

e programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
th

e speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

is information also appears in the
