or
– by momentarily turning ring B to
( + ): each turn of the ring will corre-
spond to a small speed increase
(approximately 1 km/h), while a
continuous pressure will correspond
to a continuous speed increase.
Release ring
B : the new speed will
automatically be stored.
Reducing the stored speed
The stored speed can be decreased
in two ways:
– by switching the device off (e.g.
by pressing the brake pedal) and
then storing the new speed (turning
ring
B to ( + ) for longer than three
seconds)
or
– by turning ring B to ( – ) until the
new speed is reached. The new speed
will automatically be stored.
Deleting the stored speed
The stored speed is automatically
deleted when:
– the engine is stopped
or
– switch A is turned to OFF .
When driving with the
cruise control, do not
shift the gear lever to neu-
tral. You should only switch the
cruise control on when the traffic
and road conditions allow this in
complete safety, i.e. straight and
dry roads, motorways, fast mov-
ing traffic and smooth road sur-
face. Do not use the device in
cities or in heavy traffic.
The cruise control can
be switched on at speeds
higher than 30 km/h (40
to 180 km/h for 2.4 JTD 20V CAE
version). The device can only be
switched on in 4th, 5th or 6th
gear, according to car speed. In
versions with automatic trans-
mission, the device must only be
switched on with the gear lever at
D during automatic operation
without shifting the lever subse-
quently, or with the 3
rd or 4 th gear
engaged during manual sequen-
tial operation.
When travelling down-hill the
speed may increase with respect
to the stored value according to
the change in engine load.
