To Memorise The Speed; To Reset The Memorised Speed; To Increase The Memorised Speed; To Reduce The Memorised Speed - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

TO MEMORISE
THE SPEED
Move the ring (A) to ON and take the car
to the required speed normally. Turn the ring
(B) to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The car speed is memorised and
it is therefore possible to release the acceler-
ator pedal.
The car will continue to travel at the mem-
orised constant speed until one of the fol-
lowing conditions takes place:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– if the ASR, MSR or VDC systems cut in;
– with Selespeed transmission if a gear is
changed;
– inadvertent movement of the Selespeed
gear control lever to position N.
IMPORTANT In the case of need (when
overtaking for instance) acceleration is pos-
sible simply pressing the accelerator pedal;
later, releasing the accelerator pedal, the car
will return to the speed memorised previ-
ously.

TO RESET THE
MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
– accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memorised;
– engage the gear selected at the time
of speed memorising (4th, 5th or 6th
speed);
– press the RES button (C).
TO INCREASE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased
in two ways:
1) pressing the accelerator and then mem-
orising the new speed reached (turning the
ring to (B) for more than three seconds);
or
2) momentaneously turning the ring (B) to
(+): each pulse of the ring will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1.5 km/h),
while pressing continuously wull correspond
to a continuous speed increase. Releasing the
ring (B) the new speed will be memorised
automatically.
TO REDUCE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be reduced in
two ways:
1) disengaging the device (for instance
pressing the brake pedal) and then memo-
rising the new speed (turning the ring (B)
to (+) for at least three seconds);
2) keeping the ring pressed (B) at (–)
until reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
