CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways). It is therefore not
recommended to use this device on
extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use
it in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring 1 fig. 67to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 5
thgear or higher.When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed the
stored speed.
Activation is indicated by the warning
light
.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON and press the
accelerator to reach the required speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
1 second, then release it: the car speed is
now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the
stored speed can be reset as follows:
accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
of speed storing;
press the RES button (2 fig. 67).
INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased by pressing button SET +.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be reduced
by pressing the button SET -.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The device can be switched off in the
following ways:
by turning the ring 1 fig. 67 to the OFF
position;
by switching off the engine;
by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch
or the accelerator; in this last case the
system is not effectively deactivated but
the system gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still
remains active, without the need to press
the RES button to return to the previous
conditions once acceleration is
concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set
limit;
in the event of system failure.
