SPEEDOMETER  
ALL TYPES  
An E.E.C. decree of 25 June 1976, regulates the speed displayed by the speedmeter in relation to the actual speed travelled.  
This decree stipulates :  
-The speed indicated by a speedometer must never be lower than the actual vehicle speed.  
- Between the speed displayed «SD» and the speed travelled «ST», there must always be the following relationship :  
VR < VL < 1.10 VR + 4 Km/h  
Example : For an actual speed of 100 Kph the speed displayed by the speedometer may be between 100 and 114 Kph.  
The speed indicated by the speedometer may be influenced by :  
- The speedometer.  
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.  
- The final drive ratio.  
- The speedometer drive ratio.  
Any of these components can be checked without removing them from the vehicle. (See information note N° 78-85 TT of 19 October 1978).  
NOTE : Before replacing the speedometer, check the conformity of the following points :  
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.  
- The gearbox final drive ratio.  
- The speedometer drive ratio.

Adjustment of push and pull action clutch with automatic compensation (adjustment of compensation system)  
Engines : LFX - RFN - RFS - WJX - RHY - RHZ  
WARNING : If a system blockage is detected when checking, or if the pedal has been removed, the  
pedal position must be adjusted. This position is obtained by the angular displacement of the stop  
supports "a" and "b".  
Procedure  
- Loosen the nut (6) and the screw (7).  
- Using a lever, raise the stop support (8) to its highest position.  
- In this position, there must be a substantial free play in the pedal.  
- Lower the support until there is a free play of 2 ± 1 mm.  
- Tighten the screw (7) and the nut (6).  
- Check that the outer cable slides freely (at rest, the pedal is against its upper stop "A", the outer cable  
length should be variable).  
Characteristics  
- The automatic adjusting device requires no manual adjustment.  
- Pedal travel remains constant for all models 145 ± 5 mm.  
- Automatic adjustment is achieved by modifying the curvature of the outer cable.  
- Take extra care with the routing of the outer cable, and do not add any supplementary fixing points.

Operation  
Clutch disengagement phase  
Engagement / adjustment phase  
For the adjusting device to operate correctly, it  
is necessary that :  
The pedal is at rest (against its upper stop) The  
locking sleeve (1) is slightly compressed, the  
rollers (2) are free, the outer cable (3) length  
may vary.  
As soon as the pedal is applied, the attaching  
end-piece (4) leaves the sleeve (1) which  
moves back. The rollers, pushed by spring (5)  
jam the system. The cable behaves like a  
conventional cable.  
The pedal returns to rest on its upper  
stop.Attaching end-piece (4) pushes sleeve (1)  
which frees the rollers.  
Outer cable (3), kept extended by the spring (6)  
becomes :  
- Shorter if the clutch disc is worn.  
- Longer if the outer cable has been compressed.  
NOTE : The pedal gear has a non-adjustable assisting device.

PRE-REPAIR PROCEDURE  
Oil quality  
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction or the destruction of a clutch, the  
oil will overheat and become contaminated with impurities : the oil is said to be "burnt".  
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an unpleasant smell.  
ESSENTIAL : The gearbox must be replaced.  
Oil level (prior conditions)  
- Oil hot (80°C min.).  
- Foot on the brake, change through all the gears.  
- Vehicle on a level surface.  
- Selection lever in position "P".  
- Engine running.  
The level should be between the min. markings "A" and "B" on the dipstick.  
ESSENTIAL : In no case should the oil level exceed the marking "B".  
Top up the automatic gearbox oil level (if necessary).

PROCEDURE BEFORE REPAIRS (continued)  
When the ECU detects an erroneous or absent valueon input or  
output :  
Reading the fault codes.  
Read the fault codes.  
- It writes the fault in memory.  
- Absence of fault codes:  
- For each associated context, it writes the context of the oldest fault  
in memory.  
- Carry out a measure of parameters.  
- It initiates a back-up mode strategy.  
Presence of anomalies:  
There are two types of back-up modes :  
- YES : Carry out the necessary repairs.  
- NO : Read the fault codes - engine ECU  
- Carry out a road test.  
- The ECU makes replacement values available (relating to comfort,  
gear selection quality, loss of functions).  
Following an initialisation of the ECU, for a certain period of time there  
may be an inconsistent gear selection quality (while ECU parameters  
are adapting to the gearbox).  
- Access to emergency programme (only 3rd gear and reverse are  
available)  
To achieve a consistent standard, it will be necessary to carry out a  
road test taking in frequent gear changes (auto-adaptive laws).
