SPEED LIMITER

(3/3)

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is suspended

when you press switch 4 (O). In this

case, the limit speed remains stored

and the message “SPEED MEMORY”

accompanied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 5 (R).

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-

activates the function without taking

into account the stored speed: it is

the speed at which the vehicle is

moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated when you press switch 1. In this

case, the speed is no longer stored.

The orange instrument panel warning
light



goes out, confirming that the

function is stopped.

2.21

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

that you choose, called the cruising

speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any

speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).

CRUISE CONTROL

(1/4)

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. The func-

tion does not take the place

of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in

heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-

pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-

ing, gravel) and during bad weather

(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.

2 Cruising speed activation, storage

and increase switch (+).

3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).

4 Switch the function to standby

(with cruising speed saved) (O).

5 Activation with recall of saved

cruising speed (R).

2.22

Driving

Once a cruising speed is memorised

and the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Switching on

Press switch 1 side



Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and

the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-

pears on the instrument panel, accom-

panied by dashes to indicate that the

cruise control function is activated and

waiting to store a cruising speed.

Please note that you must

keep your feet close to the

pedals in order to react in

an emergency.

CRUISE CONTROL

(2/4)

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above 18 mph

(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2

or (+): the function is activated and the

current speed is saved.

The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and the cruise control is confirmed by

the appearance of a message on the

instrument panel and warning light 7 lit

green, as well as warning light 6.

The cruise control switches to standby each time the ECO mode is activated or

deactivated. Please refer to the information on “ECO mode function” in Section 2.

2.23

CRUISE CONTROL

(3/4)

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,

the cruising speed flashes on the in-

strument 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
When driving down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

cruising speed: the stored speed will

flash on the instrument panel informa-

tion display to inform you of this situ-

ation.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by

pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

2.24

Switching off the function

The cruise control function is deacti-

vated if you press switch 1: in this case

a speed is no longer stored.

The green



and



indicator lights

on the instrument panel go out, con-

firming that the function is deactivated.

Recalling the cruising speed

If a speed has been stored, it can be re-

called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-

dition that you are driving faster than

approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and

that you are sure that the driving condi-

tions are suitable (traffic, road surface

condition, weather conditions, etc.).
NB: if the speed previously stored is

much higher than the current speed,

the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly

to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control function is

put on standby, pressing switch 2

(+) reactivates the cruise control

function without taking into account

the stored speed: it is the speed at

which the vehicle is moving that is

taken into account.

Putting the function on

standby

The function is set to standby if you:

– the brake pedal;

– move to neutral position;

– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is

stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green



warning light goes out and the

“stored” message appears on the in-

strument panel.

CRUISE CONTROL

(4/4)

Putting the cruise control

on standby or switching it

off does not cause a rapid

reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake

pedal.

2.25

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by

beeps which become more frequent the

closer you come to the obstacle, until

they become a continuous beep when

the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-

metres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-

sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,

snow, etc.).

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(1/2)

Operation

When reverse gear is selected, most

objects which are less than approxi-

mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the

vehicle are detected, a beep sounds

and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-

play 1 comes on.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the

screen 1 shows the vehicle surround-

ings alongside the beeps.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-

ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always

ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal,

pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

2.26

Temporary deactivation of

the system

(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch

lights up to remind you that the system

is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-

ivate the system and switch off the in-

dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated

after the ignition is switched off and the

engine restarted.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(2/2)

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating

fault, a beep sounds for about 3 sec-

onds as a warning. Consult an ap-

proved dealer

In the event of an impact to

the underside of the vehicle

(e.g. striking a post, raised

kerb or other street furni-

ture) this may result in damage to

the vehicle (e.g. twisted axle), the

electrical circuit or the traction bat-

tery.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved dealer.

Prolonged deactivation of the

system

You can deactivate the system perma-

nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch

remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-

ivate the system and switch off the in-

dicator light.

2.27

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1

located on the rear hinged door pro-

vides a view of the area behind the

vehicle on the rear-view mirror 2 or,

depending on the vehicle, on the mul-

timedia display 3, accompanied by one

or two (moving and fixed) guide lines 4

and 5.

Note: make sure that the reversing

camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,

snow, condensation, etc.).

Note: depending on the vehicle, you

can adjust certain settings from the

multimedia display 3. Refer to the

handbook for the equipment.

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circum-

stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving:

always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such

as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when

manoeuvring.

2.28

REVERSING CAMERA

(2/2)

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation

projected onto flat ground; this in-

formation must not be taken into

account when superimposed on a

vertical object or an object on the

ground.
Objects which appear on the edge

of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in

sunshine etc.), the camera vision

may be adversely affected.
If the rear doors are open or poorly

closed, the camera display disap-

pears and, depending on the ve-

hicle, the message “BOOT OPEN”

appears.

Dynamic gauge 4 (depending on the

vehicle)

This is shown in blue on the multimedia

display 3. It indicates the vehicle tra-

jectory according to the position of the

steering wheel.

Static guide line 5:

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.
This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

for this purpose. Consult an approved

Dealer.

3.4

Switching air conditioning on

or off

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator

light extinguished) using button 6.
The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

The air conditioning does not operate

when the exterior temperature is low.

senger compartment.

HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING

(1/4)

3.5

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen demisting vents,

the side windows and the passenger

footwells.

This is the recommended position for

the best temperature in cold weather.

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

The air flow is directed to all air

vents and the footwells.

This is the recommended position for

the best temperature in hot weather.

The air flow is directed mainly

to the dashboard vents.

Rapid demisting

Turn the controls to the positions

– air from the outside;

– maximum temperature;

– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the

speed of demisting.

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 2 to obtain the desired

temperature. The further the pointer is

away from the heating stop position,

the higher the temperature will be.

HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING

(2/4)

When the air conditioning system is

used for long periods, it may begin to

feel cold. To increase the temperature,

turn control 2 to the right.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-

posite the marked positions.

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen demisting vents

and the side windows. This position

prevents the formation of condensa-

tion.

3.6

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-

tions to start the ventilation system and

adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-

tion and position 4 for maximum ven-

tilation.

HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING

(3/4)

Position 0
In this position:
– heating or air conditioning stops au-

tomatically even if button 6 is acti-

vated and the warning light remains

lit;

– the ventilation speed of air in the

passenger compartment is zero;

– there is, however, a slight flow of air

when the vehicle is moving.

This position should not normally be

used.

3.7

HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING

(4/4)

Air recirculation (isolation of

the passenger compartment)

Turn control 1 towards the air recircula-

tion symbol

In these conditions air is taken from the

passenger compartment and is recircu-

lated, with no air being taken from out-

side the vehicle.

Air recirculation operates as

follows:

– isolating the passenger compart-

ment from the outside air (driving in pol-

luted areas, unpleasant odours, etc.);

– bringing the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

Prolonged use of this position can

lead to condensation forming on the

side windows and windscreen and

problems due to the use of non-re-

newed air in the passenger com-

partment.
We therefore advise you to return to

normal mode (external air) as soon

as the air recirculation function is no

longer required, by turning control 1

again.

In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-

ommended to position the control 3

in air recirculation position and the

fan speed control 2 in position 2 or 3

only. This setting enables greater ef-

ficiency and lower energy consump-

tion in reaching the passenger com-

partment ambient temperature.
