RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one stored;
❒ engage the gear selected at the time
when the speed was originally stored;
❒ press RES B-fig. 47.
INCREASING THE STORED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached;
or
❒ by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
will correspond to a continuous speed in-
crease.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒ by switching the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒ by moving the stalk downwards (–) un-
til reaching the new speed which will be
stored automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk down-
wards will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.
SWITCHING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switch off in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒ by turning knob A to OFF;
❒ by turning the engine off;
❒ by pressing the brake pedal;
❒ by pressing the clutch pedal;
❒ by pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really switched
off but the request for acceleration
takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is however active and it
will not be necessary to press button
RES B-fig. 47 to resume previous con-
ditions after ending acceleration.
The device is automatically switched off in
one of the following cases:
❒ if the ABS or ESP systems cut-in;
❒ with car speed below the preset limit;
❒ in the case of system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults
or failures, turn knob A to
OFF and contact a Fiat Dealership.
