Reducing a speed saved in the
memory
The speed stored in the memory can be
reduced in two ways:
– by switching off the device, pressing
the brake pedal and then saving the
new speed in the memory (turning
ring nut B to the (+) position for at
least three seconds);
or
– by keeping ring nut B turned to the
(–) position until the new speed is
reached: the latter will be stored
automatically.
Resetting the speed stored in the
memory
The speed stored in the memory is
automatically zero-reset:
– by switching the engine off
or
– by putting the switch A on the OFF
position.
When driving with the speed
control activated, do not shift
to neutral. It is advisable to
switch on the cruise control only when
traffic and road conditions permit safe
use of this device, that is: on straight
and dry roads, expressways or
highways, smooth-flowing traffic and
smooth asphalt. Do not switch this
device on in the city or in heavy traffic.
The speed control can only be
switched on at speeds
exceeding 30 km/h.
The device can only be
th th
switched on in 4 , 5 or 6
gear, depending upon the car
speed.
When driving downhill with
the device switched on, the
car may pick up speed slightly
exceeding the speed stored in the
memory due to the change in the
engine load.
In the case of faulty operation
or failure of the device, move
switch A to the OFF position
and contact the Maserati Service
Network after having checked the
fuse.
Switch A can be left on the ON
position at all times without
damaging the device. In any
case, it is advisable to deactivate the
device when it is not in use. Move
switch A to the OFF position to
prevent speeds from being
unintentionally saved in the memory.
