Cruise Control - Fiat Linea Owner's Handbook Manual

CRUISE CONTROL

(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device which allows the vehicle
to be driven at a chosen speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g. motor-
ways), without having to depress the ac-
celerator pedal.
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with traf-
fic. Do not use it in town.

ENGAGING THE DEVICE
Turn the ring nut A-fig. 47 to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in first or
reverse gear. It is advisable to engage it
th
in 4 gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may slightly ex-
ceed the preset one.
When the device is activated, warning light
Ü
comes on together with the relevant
message in the instrument panel (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).

STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the ring nut A-fig. 47 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal to bring the
car to the required speed;
❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it. The
car speed is now memorised and you
can therefore come off the accelera-
tor pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by depressing
the accelerator pedal; when you release
the pedal, the vehicle goes back to the
speed set previously.
