REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system, installed in the rear
bumper, detects any obstacle
(person, vehicle, tree, barrier...)
situated behind the vehicle.
Activation
With the engine running, the sys-
tem is activated when reverse
gear is engaged. A bleep indi-
cates that it is active.
The proximity information is given
by an audible signal, consisting of
bleeps which become faster as
the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous.
In neutral, the system
becomes inactive again.
CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control makes it possi-
ble to maintain, at a constant rate,
the vehicle speed programmed by
the driver, irrespective of the pro-
file of the road and without any
action on the accelerator or brake
pedal.
To be stored, the vehicle speed
must be in excess of 25 mph
(40 km/h) (manual gearbox) or
37 mph (60 km/h) (automatic gear-
box), with at least 4th gear
engaged (2nd for the automatic
gearbox).
Activation
☞ Place knob 1 in the ON position.
You may store a speed.
☞ Place knob 1 in the OFF posi-
tion to deactivate the system.

ton 4. Your vehicle will return to
