and losing control of the car due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
operate the device (see the previous
instructions);
when the car has reached the desired
speed, raise/lower the SET lever fig. 178
and release it to activate the device.
When the accelerator is released, the
car will maintain the selected speed
automatically.
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.
When travelling downhill with the device
active, the car speed may slightly exceed
the stored one.
WARNING Before raising/lowering the
SET lever, the car must be travelling at a
constant speed on a flat surface.

INCREASING / DECREASING SPEED
Increasing speed
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be increased by
lifting the SET lever.
Keeping the button pressed, the set
speed will increase until the button is
released, then the new speed will be
stored.
Each single movement of the SET lever
will make a fine adjustment to the set
speed.
Decreasing speed
When the device is active, lower the SET
lever to reduce the speed.
Holding the lever raised/lowered, the
set speed will increase until the lever
is released, then the new speed will be
stored.
Each single movement of the SET lever
will make a fine adjustment to the set
speed.
WARNING Moving the SET lever adjusts
the speed according to the selected
unit of measurement ("metric" or
"imperial") set on the Connect system
(see dedicated supplement).
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the car will gradually go back
to the stored speed.

Use of the device on hilly routes
In versions equipped with automatic
transmission, the device can
autonomously downshift to keep the set
speed when driving on hilly routes.
On steep gradients, the loss or gain in
speed may be considerable and it is
therefore preferable to deactivate the
device.
WARNING The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.
RECALLING THE SPEED
With automatic transmission operating
in D mode (Drive - automatic), press and
release the RES fig. 179 button to recall
the previously set speed.
With an automatic transmission in
Autostick (sequential) mode, before
recalling the previously set speed you
should accelerate to get close to it, then
press and release the RES button.
