– ON is the normal operating position
of the device. When the ring (A) is in this
position, the warning light Ü on the
instrument cluster turns on.
Ring (B) serves for memorising and
maintaining the car sped or for increasing
or lowering the speed memorised.
Turn the ring (B) to (+) to memorise
the speed reached or increase the speed
memorised.
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 memo-
rised speed.
IMPORTANT Turning the ignition key
to STOP or the ring (A) to OFF, the
speed memorised is cleared and the sys-
tem is switched off.

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 sec-
onds, then release it. The car speed is
memorised and it is therefore possible to
release the accelerator pedal.
The car will continue to travel at the
memorised constant speed until one of
the following conditions takes place:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– if the ASR, MSR or VDC system cuts
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) accelera-
tion is possible simply pressing the accel-
erator pedal; later, releasing the accelera-
tor pedal, the car will return to the speed
memorised previously.
TO RESET THE
MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for
example pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the memorised speed can be reset
as follows:
– 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
memorising the new speed reached (turn-
ing the ring to (B) for more than three sec-
onds);
or
2) momentaneously turning the ring (B)
to (+): each pulse of the ring will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1.5 km/h) while pressing continuously
will correspond to a continuous speed
increase. Releasing the ring (B) the new
speed will be memorised automatically.
