described above also cause a
cancellation or deactivation of the
system with times that may vary
according to the conditions.
WARNING The device is not
deactivated when speeds higher
than those set are reached with

1 km/h (1 mph).
Hold the SET + or SET - button
pressed : the set speed will increase or
decrease in 10 km/h steps (or 5 mph)

button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the exhaust
