For reasons of safety and for your comfort,
START mode is invoked automatically when:
-
y
ou open the driver's door,
-
y

ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11
km/h) with the electronic gearbox
system,
-

s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
Deactivation
at any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if you engage a gear without fully

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter
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.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Programming
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on
(PAUS E).
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 firmly past the point of resistance.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which
is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITR

Cruise control
The cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-

f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-

s

safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.

Range indicators
once the adbl ue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
