mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.

qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i

brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.

System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).

a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.

A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.

- i f the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
-

i
f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i

the markings on the ground and
the road sur face.
In the event of a malfunction, the
