This sensor detects any changes in the
external brightness according to the
sensitivity of the set light level: the high-
er the sensitivity, the lower the amount
of external light needed to switch the
lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sen-
sor is adjusted by means of the “Setup
menu” on the “Multifunctional Display”.
Activation

CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 78to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4th
or 5th gear. Travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated, the warning
light
Üon the instrument cluster turns on
together with the message (where pro-
vided) on the reconfigurable multifunction
display.
fig. 78F0H0074m
TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring A-fig. 78to
ONand press the accelerator pedal
to the required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least three seconds, then release it.
The car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the
accelerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.TO RESET THE MEMORISED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
of speed memorising (4thor 5thgear);
❒press the RES button B-fig. 78.
TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
continuously will correspond to a contin-
uous speed increase.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, do not put the gear-
box lever in neutral.

OF THE CAR
Do not exceed the speed limits of the
country you are driving in. In any case do
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS system with which
the car may be fitted does
not control the trailer braking system.
Great care should therefore be taken
when driving on slippery road sur-
faces.
Under no circumstances
should the vehicle brake sys-
tem be altered to control the trailer
brake. The trailer braking system
must be fully independent of the ve-
hicle’s hydraulic system.
