for completing the process are achieved by varying the
speed of the car (pressure on the accelerator pedal). Hold

roads, varying the pressure on the accelerator pedal and
sometimes releasing it completely, until the symbol and
message disappear from the display.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate an
