CRUISE CONTROL

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This is an electronically controlled driving assistance
device that allows the desired car speed to be
maintained, without having to press the accelerator
pedal.

This device can be used at a speed above 30 km/h on
long stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use
the device in town.

ACTIVATING THE DEVICE

Turn ring nut A fig. 48 to

. Activation is indicated

by the

warning light on the instrument panel

switching on and, on some versions, by a message on
the display.

The speed adjustment function cannot be activated
in 1

or reverse gear; it is advisable to activate

the function in 4

or higher gears.

When travelling downhill with the device active, the
car speed may slightly exceed the stored one.

Storing car speed

Proceed as follows:
❒ turn ring nut A fig. 48 to

and press the

accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;

❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one

second, then release it: the speed is memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.

If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator pedal:
when you release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.

Restoring the stored speed

If the device has been deactivated, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the set speed
can be restored as follows:
❒ accelerate progressively until a speed close to that

stored is reached;

❒ engage the gear selected at the time that the

speed was stored;

❒ press the CANC RES button (B fig. 48).
