To increase the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be in-
creased in two ways:
1 -pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached
(pressing button + for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing briefly button +: each
pressing will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed (about 2.5 km/h) while
pressing continuously will correspond
to a continuous speed increase. Re-
leasing the button the new speed will
be memorised automatically.
To reduce the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be re-
duced in two ways:
1 -disengaging the device (for in-
stance pressing the brake pedal) and
then memorising the new speed
(pressing button +for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing button –until reaching
the new speed which will be memo-
rised automatically.To set to zero the memorised
speed
The memorised speed is automati-
cally reset:
– turning the engine off;
– pressing buttonOFF.Do not engage the device in town or
in busy flowing traffic conditions.
When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to neutral
and to not move the automatic
gearbox selector to N. We suggest
to engage the cruise control only
when the traffic and road condi-
tions allow doing it in complete
safety and so: straight and dry
roads, freeways or motorways,
smooth flowing traffic and even as-
phalt.
WARNING
The cruise control can be en-
gaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h. The device may on-
ly be engaged in 4
thor 5thgear, de-
pending on the speed of the vehicle.
On vehicles with electronic automat-
ic gearbox it can only be engaged
with selector to D, in automatic mode
without then moving the selector
manually, or with 3
rdor 4thgear in se-
quential operation. Travelling down-
hill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may increase more than
the memorised one, due to the
change in the engine load.

Refrigerator version (food box)
In the refrigerator version, the box
has an internal space of about 12 litres
capacity that can contain 2 one and a
half litre bottles. In this version the
box is insulated and it is fitted with an
electric device to warm up or cool the
box interior as required.
This box can be used as food con-
tainer. Food shall be suitably packed
to avoid direct contact with the inner
walls of the box.
When used for cooling, a tempera-
ture difference of approx. 18 °C can
be achieved between the temperature
inside the box and that of the passen-
ger compartment after a certain time
of operation (with insulated cover and
plug closed). The lowest possible tem-
perature that can be reached in any
case is not lower than 8 -10 °C.To prevent the risk of running the bat-
tery down, the system is connected via
the ignition key; as a result the box will
only work when the engine is running.
You should remove perishables from
the box if you leave the vehicle parked
for longer than two hours.
For proper operation it is necessary
that ventilation grids (outside the box
and on one of the inside walls) should
not be clogged.
Turn the switch to:
1= to warm (red led on);
2= to cool (green led on).
