Constant speed control
(Cruise Control)

General information

The electronic cruise control makes it
possible to drive the car at the desired
speed without pressing the accelerator
pedal. This helps reduce driving
fatigue, especially on long trips
because the speed stored in the
memory is kept constant automatically.
WARNING: The device can only be
switched on at speeds exceeding
18 mph (30 km/h) and it switches off
automatically when the brake pedal is
pressed.
The speed control must only
be activated when traffic and
the route permit a constant
speed to be maintained safely for a
sufficiently long distance.

Controls

The speed control is activated by the
switch A, by the ring band B and by the
pushbutton C (RCL).
The switch A has two settings:
– OFF the device is deactivated in this
position;
– ON the normal operating position of
the device. When the device is
switched on, the message CRUISE
lights up on the instrument panel
display.
The ring band B is used to store the car
speed in the memory and to maintain
it, or to increase or decrease the speed
stored.
B A
Turn the ring nut B to the (+) position
to save the speed reached or to
increase the speed stored in the
memory.
Turn the ring nut B to the (–) position
to decrease the speed memorized.
Each time the ring nut B is moved the
speed increases or decreases by about
1 mph. When the ring nut is kept
turned, the speed varies continuously.
When a new speed is reached, it will
automatically remain constant.
Pushbutton C (RCL) is used to restore
the speed saved in the memory.
WARNING: When the ignition key is
turned to STOP or switch A is in the
OFF position, the speed saved is erased
and the system switches off.
