System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding   the   speed   programmed   by   the  
d

river.
When
  the   programmed   speed   limit   is   reached,  
p

ressing   the   accelerator   pedal   in   the   normal  
m

anner   no   longer   has   any   effect.
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched on
 m
anually:
 it r

equires   a   programmed   speed   of   at   least  
20
  mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched off
 
by   manual  
o

peration   of   the   control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply  
s

low   down   to   a   speed   below   the   programmed  
s

peed.

Speed limiter
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace   the   need   to   respect   speed   limits,   nor   can   it r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time   one   or   more   tyre   pressure   is   adjusted,   and  
a

fter   changing   one   or   more   wheels.
A
  label   attached   to   the   middle   pillar,   left   hand

Safety

deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate   the  
A

SR   and   ESP   systems,   so   that   the   wheels   can  
m

ove   freely   and   regain   grip.
