move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it. The
vehicle speed is now stored and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking)
acceleration is possible by simply
pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal the
car will return to the speed stored
previously.
by pressing the accelerator and
storing the new speed reached;
or
by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each activation of the lever
corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, whilst keeping the lever
upwards varies the speed continuously.
Reducing the memorised speed
This can be done in two ways:
by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(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 extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
Activating the device
or
by moving the stalk downwards (-
) until the new speed, which will be
stored automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
When the device is activated, light
comes on together with the relevant
message on the instrument panel (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
speed adjustment function cannot be

activated in 1 or reverse gear; it is
th
advisable to activate the function in 4
or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
Storing vehicle speed
Deactivating the device
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by turning ring (A) to the OFF
position;
by switching off the engine;
Deactivating the function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by pressing the brake pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
Proceed as follows:
turn ring (A) fig. 161 to the ON
position and press the accelerator
pedal so that the vehicle reaches the
desired speed;
press the (B) fig. 161 button.
Increasing the stored speed
This can be done in two ways:
