CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance device which
allows driving at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations (e.g. motorways), without
having to depress the accelerator pedal.
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with traffic is not therefore
recommended. Do not use it in town.
TURNING THE DEVICE ON
Turn ring nut A fig. 36 to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
st
or reverse gear: it is advisable to
engage it in 5
th
gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car may slightly
exceed the stored speed.
When the device is activated, the
warning light switches on
together with the relevant message on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided).
STORING THE CAR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒
turn ring nut A fig. 36 to ON and press the accelerator to reach the
required speed.
❒
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed is now memorised and you can therefore release the
accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you release the pedal, the car goes
back to the speed set previously.
