DEVICE ENGAGEMENT

Turn knurled ring A-fig. 56 to ON.

The device may only be engaged in the 4

or 5

gear. Travelling downhill with the

device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.

When the device is activated, the warning
light Ü on the instrument panel turns on
together with the message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).

TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the knurled ring A-fig. 56 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 there-
fore possible to release the accelerator
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.

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.
