❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then
release it. The car speed is now memorised and you can
therefore come off the accelerator pedal.

erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing 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 that was selected when you memorised
the speed;
❒press button RES B-fig. 52.

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 press the accelerator ped-
al. It is therefore not recommended to use this device on
country roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
ENGAGING THE DEVICE
Turn twist switch A-fig. 52 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 car
speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
When the device is activated, light
Ücomes on together
with the relevant message on the instrument panel (where
provided).
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 52 to ON and press the accel-
erator 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

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 stalk will correspond to a reduc-
tion in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
downwards will continuously reduce the speed.
DISENGAGING THE DEVICE
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning twist switch A to OFF;
