152 Starting and driving
Cruise Control
For safety reasons (brake system func-
tion) the brakes must be applied once,
when the engine has started, before the
cruise control system can be activated.
The system is operated by means of the
controls on the stalk switch:
• OFF (system is disconnected; the system
is always in the OFF position when the
engine is started).
• ON (system switched on).
• SET/+ (to set the desired speed).
• CANCEL (cancel operation of system,
e.g. to reduce speed temporarily).
• RESUME/– (resume preset speed).
When the system is ON, the CRUISE indi-
cator light will appear on the main instru-
ment panel and will be extinguished when
the system is switched OFF. If CANCEL is
selected, CRUISE will flash off once.
To set the desired speed
Move the switch to ON. Accelerate to the
desired speed (minimum speed: 25 mph
(40 km/h) and press SET/+.
To increase the preset speed
Accelerate to the desired speed and press
SET/+.
You can also increase the speed of the car
using the SET/+ button. Press it once to
increase the speed by 1 mph (1.6 km/h) or
hold it in and release when the desired
speed is reached.
Temporary increase in speed
Press the accelerator to override the preset
speed, e.g. for overtaking.
When you release the accelerator, the
system will revert to the preset speed.
To cancel temporarily
Move the control stalk to CANCEL
(spring-loaded position before OFF posi-
tion). This will disengage the system but the
preset speed will be retained in the system
memory. (The memory is deleted when the
engine is switched off.)
To re-engage the system
To revert to the preset speed, slide the
switch to RESUME/–. This will only operate
when the car’s speed is above 25 mph
(40 km/h).
To reduce the preset speed
The cruise-control system will always disen-
gage automatically the moment that either
the brake pedal or the clutch pedal is
depressed.
It is also possible to reduce the speed by:
• Sliding the button to RESUME/– once will
reduce the speed by 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
• Holding the button in the RESUME/–
position will effect a gradual reduction in
speed until the button is released.
WARNING
• Do not use the Cruise-control system
on wet or icy roads, in dense traffic or
on winding
roads
• Set the control to OFF when you do
not want to use the system, to prevent
the system being activated inadvert-
ently.
