BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/4)
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle’s speed is between approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h
(87 mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed
in the front and rear bumper of both
sides.

A
Special featureMake sure that the sensors are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
If a sensor is obscured, the message
“Blind spot clean sensor” will appear on
the instrument panel. Clean the sen-
sors.
AThis function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
make sure while manoeuvring that
there are no moving or movable ob-
jects (such as a child, an animal, a
pushchair or a bicycle) or small or
narrow obstacles (such as a boulder
or a post) in the blind spot area.

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the
indicator light 6 (display B) flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow,
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

Conditions for non-function
– If the object is not moving;
– if traffic is heavy;
– the road is winding;
– if front and rear sensors both detect objects at the same time (e.g. when
passing an articulated lorry).

Operating principle
The system detects speed limit signs
on the side of the road and displays the
speed limit.
It mainly uses information taken from
the camera 1, attached to the wind-
screen behind the rear-view mirror.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
For vehicles which are equipped with it,
the system also uses information from
the navigation system.
Once the speed limiter is activated, you
can adjust the speed limiter indication
displayed by the system.
In the event of exceeding the speed
limit, the sign display is modified (the
characters change to red or the circle
around the sign flashes) no notify you.
OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)
The overspeed alert with signage panel
recognition notifies the driver that they
are exceeding the speed limit for the
section of road on which they are cur-
rently travelling. For vehicles equipped with a navigation
system and if the vehicle is travelling in
a country where the speed units differ
from those of the vehicle, the system
displays the speed limit sign in the unit
of the country, alongside the speed limit
converted to the unit used by the vehi-
cle’s instrument panel.
For countries where the speed limit is
reduced during rainy weather on some
types of roads, on vehicles equipped
with a navigation system, the system
can modify the limited speed after a few
seconds of wiping the windscreen.
Special situations
The system does not take into account
exceptional speed limit measures, such
as peak pollution days.

SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (1/3)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on side . The indica-
tor light
comes on, lit orange, and
the message “Speed limiter” appears
on the instrument panel, accompanied
by dashes to indicate that the speed
limiter function is activated and waiting
to store a limited speed.
To store the current speed, press the
switch 2 on side a (+): the limited speed
will replace the dashes.
The minimum stored speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Controls for:
a speed limiter activation, memory
and increase (+);
b decreasing the speed limiter (-).
3 Activation and recall of memorised limited speed (R).
4 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the
limit speed.
If you wish, you can associate the
speed limiter and the “Overspeed
alert” function (please refer to the in-
formation on the “Overspeed alert”
in Section 2).

SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (2/3)
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the accel-
erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
speed limiter flashes red on the instru-
ment panel.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limited speed: the memorised speed
flashes red on the instrument panel and
a beep sounds at regular intervals to
inform you.
Varying the limit speed
The speed limiter can be changed by
repeatedly pressing the switch 2:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.

SPEED LIMITER FUNCTION (3/3)
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been saved, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 3 ((R)).
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is sus-
pended when you press switch 4 (O).
In this case, the speed limit remains
stored and the message “Memorised”
accompanied by this speed appears on
the instrument panel.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The orange
warning light and message on the
instrument panel goes out to confirm
that the function is deactivated.
When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing side a (+) on
the switch 2 reactivates the func-
tion without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (2/4)
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx.
20 mph (30 km/h)), press the switch 2
on side a (+): the function is activated
and the current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and cruise control is confirmed by the
appearance of the message “Check
cruise control” and the warning light
.
If you try to activate the function below
20 mph (30 km/h), the message “Invalid
speed” will be displayed and the func-
tion will remain inactive.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on side .
Indicator light
comes on, lit green,
and the message “Check cruise con-
trol” appears on the instrument panel,
accompanied by dashes to indicate that
the cruise control function is activated
and waiting to store a cruising speed.

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While overtaking, the cruis-
ing speed flashes red on the instrument
panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradi-
ent, the system is unable to maintain
the cruising speed: the stored speed is
flashes red on the instrument panel to
inform you of this situation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed can be changed by
pressing the switch 2 repeatedly:
– side a (+) to increase the speed;
– side b (-) to reduce the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
