DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The function can be activated/

select the following items in sequence:

CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
car speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 km/h) on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
The Cruise Control buttons are located
on the left side of the steering wheel.
To ensure correct operation, the Cruise
Control is designed to deactivate if more
than one function is operated
simultaneously. In this case the system
can be reactivated pressing button
and setting the desired speed.
Travelling downhill, the system could
brake the car to keep the set speed
unvaried.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
117) 118) 119)
To activate the device press button
fig. 167.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
The device cannot be engaged in first or
reverse gear: it is recommended to
engage it in 3rd gear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
operate the device (see the previous
instructions);
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
fig. 168 switch and release to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
