TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the knurled ring (A) to ON and press the

accelerator pedal to the required speed;

❒ turn the knurled ring (B) to (+) for at least three

seconds, then release it. The car speed is
memorised and it is therefore possible to release
the accelerator pedal.

In the case of need (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible simply pressing the accelerator
pedal; later, releasing the accelerator pedal, the car
will return to the speed memorised previously.

TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been disengaged for example pressing
the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a speed

approaching the one memorised;

❒ engage the gear selected at the time of speed

memorising (4th or 5th or 6th gear);

❒ press the RES button (C).

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:
❒ pressing the accelerator and then memorising the

new speed reached;

or
❒ momentaneously turning the ring (B) to (+).
Each pulse of the ring will correspond to a slight
increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while pressing
continuously will correspond to a continuous speed
increase.
