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,
 w

hich   is   still   displayed,   flashes.
Returning
  to   the   programmed   speed,   by   means   of   intentional   or   unintentional
 d

eceleration   of   the   vehicle,   automatically   cancels   the   flashing   of   the
 pro

grammed
 s
peed. On
  a   steep   descent   or   in   the   event   of  
s

harp   acceleration,   the   speed   limiter  w
ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from   exceeding   the   programmed  
s

peed.

Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed is   cleared   resulting   in   flashing   of   the   dashes.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed   of   the   vehicle   at   the   value   programmed  
b

y   the   driver,   without   any   action   on   the  
a

ccelerator
 ped
al.
The cruise control is switched on

anually:
 it r

equires   a   minimum   vehicle   speed   of   25   mph  
(

40   km/h),   as   well   as   the   engagement   of:

It
  is   possible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal.
To

Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, located   in   the   rear   bumper.
This
  detects   any   obstacle   (person,   vehicle,  
t

ree,   gate,   etc.)   behind   the   vehicle,   except  
o

bstacles   located   just   below   the   bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone   or   any   other   similar   object   may b

e   detected   at   the   beginning   of   the
 m

anoeuvre,   but   may   no   longer   be   detected
 w

hen   the   vehicle   comes   close   to   it.
The parking sensor system cannot in any   circumstances   take   the   place   of  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
 
system   is   activated   as   soon   as   reverse  
g

ear
 
is   engaged,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal.   The   proximity   information   is   given   by:
-
 
a

n   audible   signal,   which   becomes   more  
r

apid   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the  
o

bstacle.
-
 
a

 
graphic   (according   to   version)   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   with   blocks   which  
b

ecome   increasingly   closer   to   the   vehicle.
Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle a
nd   the   obstacle   is   less   than   thirty   centimetres,   the a

udible   signal   becomes   continuous   and   the   "Danger"
 s

ymbol   appears   in   the   multifunction   screen.
On
  completion   of   the   manoeuvre,   when   you   exit
 r

everse   gear,   the   system   becomes   inactive.
