Headlamp washing:
When front washing is requested through the steering column stalk, with
the high-beam headlamps ON, headlamp washing will be actuated for 1.2 seconds.
Cruise Control function operation
: the system operates in the following modes:
- speed memorization achieved, discrete and continuous speed increase (set +);
- speed memorization achieved, discrete and continuous speed decrease (set -);
- memorized speed recall (resume).
A warning light on the board, actuated by the engine management control unit, indicates the
system’s operating status.
To actuate the system, turn the “ON/OFF” ring to the “ON” ignition position, then bring the
vehicle to the desired speed (the vehicle speed shall in any case be higher than 40 k.p.h.) and
act on the “set+” or “set–“ controls: now, the accelerator can be released, and the Cruise
Control may be allowed to operate automatically.
This system may function over the entire range of revs permitted by the engine, and may
manage vehicles equipped both with manual and robotized gearbox units. However, the
system control does not come into action in the following cases:
- neutral;
- reverse gear;
- 1
st
speed (mechanic gearbox);
- vehicle speed lower than 40 k.p.h.
The Cruise Control can be deactivated by simply actuating either the brake or the clutch;
pressing the “RES” (resume) button will subsequently make it possible to resume the speed
conditions previously set in the memory.
If the Cruise Control is ON, it will not be disabled by an acceleration request by the driver (e.g.
when overtaking): yet, it will automatically resume the vehicle’s set speed as soon as the
accelerator pedal is released.
The main ring switch-off action will turn the system off and clear any speed previously set.

The ASR (wheel antiskid) function takes priority over the Cruise Control, for safety reasons.
After the ASR system has stopped operating, the Cruise Control function is automatically
resumed to the latest speed value stored in the memory.
