Set Switch Location; Resume Button Location; Accelerating When Overtaking; Recalling The Speed - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

Set Switch Location

If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate beyond
the set speed by pressing the
accelerator. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle goes back to the
previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the set one.
Note: Before pushing the SET switch,
the vehicle must be traveling at a
constant speed on a flat surface.
Increasing/Decreasing
Speed
Increasing Speed
Once the Electronic Speed Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased by pushing the SET switch
upward.
By keeping the button pushed, the set
speed will increase until the button is
released. The new speed will then be
set.
At every movement of the SET switch,
the set speed can be adjusted.
Decreasing Speed
When the feature is active, to reduce
the speed, push the SET switch
downward.

By keeping the button pushed, the set
speed will decrease until the button is
released. The new speed will then be
set.
At every movement of the SET switch,
the set speed can be adjusted.
Note: Moving the SET switch allows to
adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement set on
the Information and Entertainment
System (see dedicated supplement).

Accelerating When Overtaking

Press the accelerator as you would
normally. When the pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Use Of The Feature On Hilly Routes
The feature can automatically downshift
to keep the set speed when driving on
hilly routes.
On steep grades, the loss or gain in
speed may be considerable and is
advisable to deactivate the Electronic
Speed Control.
Note: The feature keeps the speed set
even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.

Recalling The Speed

Note: Before returning to the
previously set speed, you must
accelerate to a speed close to that
speed, then push the RES button and
release it.
While in DRIVE (D), push and release
the RES button to recall the previously
set speed.

Resume Button Location

In Autostick (sequential) mode, before
recalling the previously set speed, you
should accelerate until you are close to
that speed. Then, push and release the
RES button.
