ELECTRONIC SPEED
CONTROL (CRUISE
CONTROL)
Electronic Speed
Control Description
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal. This feature can be
used at a speed above 25 mph
(40 km/h) on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations
(highways).
The speed control buttons are located
on the left side of the steering wheel.
Note:
To ensure correct operation, the
speed control is designed to
deactivate if more than one function is
operated simultaneously. In this case,
the system can be reactivated by
pushing the on/off button
and
setting the desired speed.
It is not recommended to use this
feature in city traffic.
While driving downhill, the system could
brake the vehicle to keep the set speed
the same.
Warning!
Speed Control can be dangerous where
the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Activating
To activate the Electronic Speed
Control System, push the on/off button
location on the left side of the steering
wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled
by the white warning light
switching
on the instrument cluster.
The Electronic Speed Control function
can remain active at the same time as
the Speed Limiter System. If a speed
limit below the one indicated in the set
speed control, the speed control speed
will be lowered to that of the Speed
Limiter.
This function remains available in RACE
mode.
Note: The system cannot be engaged
in FIRST or REVERSE gear. It is
advisable to engage it in THIRD gear or
higher if using the Autostick feature.
Warning!
Leaving the Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system OFF when you are not using it.
Setting The Desired
Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the Electronic Speed Control
on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, push the SET switch up
or down and release to activate. When
the accelerator is released, the vehicle
will keep the selected speed
automatically.
