68GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANTThe cruise control
can be engaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h.
The device is automatically discon-
nected in one of the following cases:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– inadvertently moving the automat-
ic gearbox selector to N. A special horn warns any people near
the vehicle that the driver is manoeu-
vring it.
Through four sensors located in the
bumper, the system detects the dis-
tance between the vehicle and possi-
ble obstacles; the driver is warned by
an intermittent acoustic signal with in-
creasing frequency, which is automat-
ically activated when the reverse gear
is engaged.CRUISE CONTROL
GENERAL FEATURES
The cruise control, with electronic
control, allows driving the vehicle at
a desired speed, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. This allows reduc-
ing the driving fatigue on motorways,
especially during long journeys, be-
cause the memorised speed is auto-
matically maintained.
Never set gear selector to
N (vehicles fitted with au-
tomatic gearbox) when the vehicle
is moving.
WARNING
The Cruise Control must be
activated only when the
traffic and the path allow keeping,
for a distance long enough, a con-
stant speed in complete safety.
