❒
move the stalk upwards ( + ) for at least one second,
then release it. The car speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal;
when you release the pedal, the car will return to the
speed memorised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒
accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the memorised speed;
❒
engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorisation;
❒
press button RES B-fig. 39.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronically controlled device which allows
the vehicle to be driven at a chosen speed above 30
km/h on long stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways), without having to depress
the accelerator pedal. It is therefore not recommended
to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON.
The cruise control cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
When the device is activated the warning light
Ü
comes
on together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒
turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal until you reach the required speed;
