TO RESET THE
MEMORISED 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 memorised;
❒ engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising;
❒ press button RES B-fig. 47.
TO INCREASE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ pressing the accelerator and then mem-
orising the new speed reached;
or
❒ 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.
TO REDUCE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒ moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised 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.
DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
The device can be disengaged in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒ turn knob A to OFF;
❒ turning the engine off;
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch pedal;
❒ pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really disengaged
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 conditions
after ending acceleration.
The device is automatically deactivated in
one of the following cases:
❒ ABS or ESP system cut-in;
❒ with car speed below the preset limit;
❒ system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn knob
A to OFF and contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
