❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The car speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal;
when you release the pedal, the car will return to the
speed memorised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorisation;
❒press button RES B-fig. 39.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronically controlled 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. motorways), without having to depress
the accelerator pedal. It is therefore not recommended
to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON.
The cruise control cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
When the device is activated the warning light
Ücomes
on together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal until you reach the required speed;

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever upwards will increase the speed continuously.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then storing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
❒turning twist switch A to OFF;
❒switching off the engine;
❒pressing the brake pedal;❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the
system is not really switched off but the request for
acceleration takes priority. The cruise control is,
however, active and you do not need to press
button RES B-fig. 39 to restore the previous
conditions when you have finished accelerating.
The device is automatically switched off in the following
cases:
❒if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;
❒if the car speed drops below the preset limit;
❒if there is a system failure.
While travelling with the device engaged, do
not put the gear lever into neutral.
WARNING
In the event of malfunction or if the device
fails, turn twist switch A to OFF and contact an
Abarth Dealership.
