you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhill with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Increasing speed
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be increased by
lifting the SET switch.
Keeping the button pressed, the set
speed will increase until the button is
released, then the new speed will be
stored.
At every movement of the SET switch the
set speed is fine-adjusted.
Decreasing speed
When the device is active, to reduce the
speed, lower the SET switch.
Keeping the button pressed, the set
speed will decrease until the button is
released, then the new speed will be
stored.
At every movement of the SET switch the
set speed is fine-adjusted instead.
IMPORTANT Moving the SET switch
allows to adjust the speed according to
the selected unit of measurement
("metric" or "imperial") set on the Connect
system (see dedicated supplement).
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
Use of the device on hilly routes
In versions equipped with automatic
transmission, the device can
autonomously downshift to keep the set
speed when driving on hilly routes.
On steep gradients, the loss or gain in
speed may be considerable and it is
therefore preferable to deactivate the
device.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.
RECALLING THE SPEED
For versions with automatic transmission
operating in D mode (Drive - automatic),
press and release the RES
fig. 169 button to recall the previously
set speed.
For versions with manual gearbox or
automatic transmission in Autostick
(sequential) mode, before recalling the
previously set speed you should
accelerate until getting close to it, then
press and release the RES button.
