or

– by momentarily turning ring B to

(+): each turn of the ring will corre-

spond to a small speed increase

(approximately 1 km/h), while a

continuous pressure will correspond

to a continuous speed increase.

Release ring B: the new speed will

automatically be stored.

Reducing the stored speed

The stored speed can be decreased

in two ways:

– by switching the device off (e.g.

by pressing the brake pedal) and

then storing the new speed (turning

ring B to (+) for longer than three

seconds)

or

– by turning ring B to (–) until the

new speed is reached. The new speed

will automatically be stored.

Deleting the stored speed

The stored speed is automatically

deleted when:

– the engine is stopped

or

– switch A is turned to OFF.

When driving with the

cruise control, do not

shift the gear lever to neu-

tral. You should only switch the

cruise control on when the traffic

and road conditions allow this in

complete safety, i.e. straight and

dry roads, motorways, fast mov-

ing traffic and smooth road sur-

face. Do not use the device in

cities or in heavy traffic.

The cruise control can

be switched on at speeds

higher than 30 km/h (40

to 180 km/h for 2.4 JTD 20V CAE

version). The device can only be

switched on in 4th, 5th or 6th

gear, according to car speed. In

versions with automatic trans-

mission, the device must only be

switched on with the gear lever at

D during automatic operation

without shifting the lever subse-

quently, or with the 3

rd

or 4

th

gear

engaged during manual sequen-

tial operation.

When travelling down-hill the

speed may increase with respect

to the stored value according to

the change in engine load.
