When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warning light
Ücomes
on together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
STORING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A toONand press the accelerator
pedal so that the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❒move the lever upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration
is possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will return to the
speed memorised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorising;
❒press the button B-fig. 72.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry
roads with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at
a preset speed without having to press the accelerator
pedal. It is therefore not recommended to use this
device on country roads with traffic.
Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ACTIVATION fig. 72
Turn the ring nut A to the ON position.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged in 1
stor reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4thor higher gears.

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever upwards will correspond to a continuous speed
increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then storing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever held downwards will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.SWITCHING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
❒turning the ring nut A to the OFFposition;
❒turning the engine off;
❒pressing the brake pedal or operating the handbrake;
❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒requesting a gear change with an automatic gearbox
in sequential mode;
❒with vehicle speed below the set limit;
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case the
system is not really switched off but the request for
acceleration takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is, however, active and it will not be
necessary to press the RES button to restore the
previous conditions after the acceleration is over.
The device is automatically switched off in the following
cases:
❒if the ABSor ESPsystems cut in;
❒if there is a system failure.

warning light on the dial turns on, but it should
go off after a few seconds.
