INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
Press the accelerator and store the new speed or move the stalk
upwards (+). Each movement of the stalk will correspond to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
upwards the speed will continuously increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
Deactivate the device and store the new speed or move the stalk
downwards (–) until the new speed is reached. It will then auto-
matically be stored. Each movement of the stalk will correspond
to a reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held downwards will continuously reduce the speed.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
To release:
❍ turn the A ring fig. 43 to OFF;
or
❍ stop the engine;
or
❍ press the brake pedal, the clutch or the accelerator; in this
last case the system is not actually turned off but the system
gives priority to the acceleration request. The device still re-
mains active, without the need to press the RES button to re-
turn to the previous condition once acceleration is concluded.
