DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM

button

ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL
(where provided)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance system that allows you
to maintain the vehicle at a desired
speed, without having to depress the
accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 40 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).
Use of the system is therefore not
advantageous on busy highways. Do not
use the system in cities.
Traveling downhill, the system could
brake the car to keep the set speed
unvaried.
WARNING Do not put the gear lever
in neutral for versions with manual
transmission or in "N" for versions with
dual clutch automatic transmission when
the Cruise Control function is activated.
Doing so will disengage the system.

pedal, the vehicle goes back to the speed
stored previously.
When traveling downhill with the device
active, the car speed may slightly exceed
the stored one.
WARNING The vehicle should be
traveling at a steady speed and on level
ground before you press the SET + (or
