CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to
drive at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads with few driving changes (e.g.
motorways) at a preset speed without having to
press the accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn the ring nut A to the ON position.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged in 1st or
reverse gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th or
higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged,
the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the memorised
one.
When the device is activated the warning light
comes on together with the relevant message on
the instrument panel.
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒
turn ring nut A fig. 73 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal so that the vehicle reaches the
desired speed;
❒
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one
second, then release it: the vehicle speed is
memorised and you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible by simply pressing the
accelerator pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the
car will return to the speed memorised previously.
Restoring the set speed
If the device has been deactivated, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the set speed
can be restored as follows:
❒
accelerate progressively until a speed close to that
stored is reached;
❒
engage the gear selected at the time that the
speed was stored;
❒
press button B fig. 73.
