(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL
The speed regulator (CRUISE CON-
TROL), with electronic control, makes
it possible to drive the car at the required
speed, without pressing the accelerator
pedal. This reduces driving fatigue dur-
ing long journeys (specially on high-
ways) because the speed memorised is
automatically maintained.
IMPORTANT The device can only be
engaged at speeds between 40 and
190 km/h.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 46 to Ü .
The device cannot be engaged in 1
st
speed or reverse. It is recommended to
engage it in 4
th
or higher speeds. Travel-
ling downhill with the device engaged,
the car speed may increase more than
the memorised one.
When the device is activated the in-
strument panel warning light
Ü turns
on (on certain versions together with a
message on the display) (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the knurled ring A-fig. 46 to
Ü and press the accelerator pedal
to the required speed;
❒ push the stalk upwards (+) or down-
wards (–), then release it: car speed
is memorised and it is therefore pos-
sible to release the accelerator ped-
al.
In the case of need (when overtaking
for instance) acceleration is possible sim-
ply pressing the accelerator pedal: re-
leasing the accelerator pedal, the car will
return to the speed memorised previ-
ously.
