Cruise Control
Cruise Control (CC) assists the rider in maintaining a
constant cruising speed. The system maintains the
desired cruising speed by accelerating and acting on
the brakes, within the limits of the system. This
feature increases comfort during long motorway
journeys.
Attention
The Cruise Control is not a safety system, but
its function is improving the rider's riding comfort. It
is designed to assist the rider, but does not replace
the rider in riding the motorcycle. The rider is always
responsible for maintaining control of the
motorcycle, a correct and prudent speed, a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead appropriate to the
environmental context, compliance with the road
traffic rules in the country where s/he is riding, as
well as for actively intervening to avoid collisions by
braking or accelerating. The rider must always
maintain a very high level of concentration while
riding, always keeping both hands on the handlebar.
The Cruise Control is designed for use on motorways
or express roads. It is not designed for urban,
mountain or off-road use. It is recommended not to
use the Cruise Control on bumpy roads (with gravel
or in wet asphalt conditions that may lead to
aquaplaning risk) or in bad weather conditions (ice,
snow, fog, rain, hail). In such contexts, the Cruise
Control does not perform its function properly and
may not operate correctly.
It is also recommended not to use the Cruise Control
function in complex road contexts, characterised by
