ehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
2
0 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
b
e fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
The
speed limiter is paused by operation of the
control.
The
programmed speed can be exceeded
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
b
eyond the point of resistance.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and broken lines.
To
improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
3
0 mph (50 km/h)).
This
system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The
lane departure warning system
c
annot in any circumstances replace
t
he need for vigilance on the part of the
d
river.
It
is necessary to observe driving
r
egulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering w
heel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the display of a warning lamp in the instrument panel.
No
alert is given if the direction

Operation
Three levels of operation are possible:
● P re-collision alert :
if a risk of collision w
ith a vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
c
omes on in the instrument panel together
w
ith an audible signal to encourage the
d
river to make an avoiding manoeuvre. The
t
hresholds for triggering the alert can be set.
●
Br
aking assistance :
increases the
b
raking started by the driver, only if a risk
o
f collision is detected.
●
A
utomatic pre-collision braking:
when
y
our vehicle is too close to or closing
t
oo quickly on the vehicle ahead of you,
t
he system automatically operates the
b
rakes to reduce the speed of impact. A
