Cruise Control control lever
This system is managed by the engine control unit and makes it possible to easily maintain the
set vehicle speed, regardless of the varying running conditions.
Steering column stalk functions
Flashing light/steady high-beam headlamp switch:
the flashing light control is obtained by
pulling the lever from the rest position towards the steering wheel crown while preventing the
lever from going past the first click (“flashing light” contact). This actuation in UNSTABLE;
therefore, the lever shall return to its rest position when it is released, thus opening the
“flashing light” contact again.
The “steady high-beam headlamp” control is obtained by pulling the lever the same way as the
flashing light control; in this case, however, the lever shall be allowed to travel a longer stroke, up to
the second click (“high-beam headlamps” contact). Here too, the actuation is UNSTABLE: the lever
shall return to its rest position, thus opening the “high-beam headlamp” and “flashing light” contacts.
The high-beam headlamps can be turned off by pulling the lever again up to the high-beam
headlamp position, the same way as during ignition.

Indicator and lane change light control:
this control is obtained by making the lever to move
along the steering wheel plane in both directions (upwards and downwards). The translatory
motion of the lever in each direction of rotation involves two different ways to actuate the
electric contact itself: an UNSTABLE one (referred to “lane change”) and a STABLE one
(referred to as “direction change”). The “lane change” function is actuated through a smaller
angular travel than the one required to actuate the “direction change”.
