ELECTRONIC CRUISE

CONTROL

(where provided)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired car speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 32 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
WARNING Do not put the gear lever
in neutral for versions with manual
transmission or in "N" for versions with
188
automatic transmission when the Cruise
Control function is activated. Failure to
respect this precaution with damage the
system.

SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
operate the device (see the previous
instructions);
when the car has reached the desired
speed, press button SET + (or SET –)
and release it to activate the device.
When the accelerator is released,
the car will keep the selected speed
automatically. A message confirming the

you can accelerate simply by pressing
the accelerator; when you release the
pedal, the car goes back to the speed

When travelling downhill with the device
active, the car speed may slightly exceed
the stored one.

panel" section. The speed increase
shown depends on the speed unit
