CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 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 it in town.
Going downhill, the system could brake
the car to keep the pre-set speed limit.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
111) 112) 113)
To activate the device press button
fig. 108.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
This function remains available (where
provided) in RACE mode.The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 3
rdgear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
activate the device;
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
switch and release fig. 108 to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by lifting the SET
switch fig. 108.
Keeping the button (high/low) pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.

The Lane Departure Warning system
makes use of a camera located on the
windscreen to detect the lane limits and
calculate the position of the vehicle
within such limits, in order to make sure
that it remains inside the lane.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over one
without the driver's say-so (direction
indicator not turned on), the system
emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the surpassed line will
light up on the display (left or right) to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
