CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON
Turn knob A-fig. 47 to ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4
th
or higher gears.
Travelling downhill with the device en-
gaged, the car speed may increase more
than the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light
Ü
turns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel
(where provided).
STORING THE CAR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn knob A-fig. 47 to ON and press
the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;
❒ push the lever up (+) for at least one
second and release it: the car speed will
be stored. The accelerator pedal may
be released.
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), press the
accelerator pedal to accelerate: the car
will return to the previously set speed
when the pedal is released.
