CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ENGAGEMENT fig. 65
Turn knurled ring A to ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4th or higher gears.
Travelling downhill with the device en-
gaged, the car speed may increase more
than the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light Ü turns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel.
TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the knurled ring A to ON and
press the accelerator pedal to the re-
quired speed;
❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
one second, then release it. The car
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.
TO RESET THE MEMORISED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
❒ engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising;
❒ press the RES B button.
