DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS

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.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT

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 4th 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

turns on together with the rel-

evant message on the instrument panel
(where provided).

TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:
❒ turn knob A-fig. 47 to ON and press

the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;

❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at

least one second, then release it. The
car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the ac-
celerator pedal.

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