CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator) (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.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring A-fig. 75 to ON.
The device can be turned on in 4th or 5th
gear only. Travelling downhill with the de-
vice engaged, 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
(where provided).

STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn ring A-fig. 75 to ON and press
the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;
❒ push the lever upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed will be stored. The accel-
erator pedal may be released.
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), press the
accelerator pedal to accelerate: the car
will return to the previously set speed
when the pedal is released.
RESTORING MEMORIZED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for ex-
ample by pressing the brake or clutch ped-
al, the memorized speed can be reset as
follows:
❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the stored speed;
❒ engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th or 5th gear);
❒ press button RES B-fig. 75.
INCREASING THE MEMORIZED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached;
or
❒ by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will correspond
to a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h),
while keeping the stalk upwards will cor-
respond to a continuous speed increase.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
