DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 56to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4
th
or 5thgear. 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
Üon 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. 56to ON
and press the accelerator pedal to the
required speed;
❒turn the knurled ring Bto (+) 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.

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

ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:

two ways:
❒ disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or

will be memorised automatically.
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction. 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
❒turning the knurled ring B-fig. 56tem-
