Cruise Control - Alfa Romeo Alfa 147 GTA Owner's Manual

CRUISE CONTROL

GENERAL
The speed regulator (CRUISE CON-
TROL), with electronic control, makes it
possible to drive the car at the required
speed without pressing the accelerator ped-
al. This reduces driving fatigue during long
journeys because the speed memorised is
automatically maintained.
IMPORTANT The device can only be en-
gaged at speeds above 30 km/h.
WARNING
Cruise control must be ac-
tivated only when the
route and traffic allow a constant
speed for a sufficiently long dis-
tance completely safely.
The device is disengaged automatically in
any one of the following cases:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– if the ASR or VDC, MSR system cuts in.
CONTROLS (fig. 65)
Cruise Control is controlled by the
ON/OFF knurled ring (A), by the +/–
ring (B) and by the RES button (C).
Ring (A) has two positions:
– OFF in this position the device is deac-
tivated;
– ON is the normal operating position of
the device. When the knurled ring (A) is
in this position, the warning light Ü on the
instrument cluster turns on.
fig. 65
Ring (B) serves for memorising and main-
taining the car speed or for increasing or low-
ering the speed memorised.
Turn the ring (B) to (+) to memorise the
speed reached or increase the speed mem-
orised.
Turn the ring (B) to (–) to lower the speed
memorised.
Each time the ring is actuated (B) the speed
increases or lowers by about 1.5 km/h.
Keeping the ring turned the speed changes
continuously. The new speed reached will
be maintained automatically.
The RES button (C) resets the memorised
speed.
IMPORTANT Turning the ignition key to
STOP or the ring (A) to OFF, the speed
memorised is cleared and the system is
switched off.
