Ring A has four positions:
OFF: system off
x
: greatest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead
x
: intermediate distance from the
vehicle ahead
x
: shortest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead.
The distance between the two vehi-
cles is gradually increased as the
speed is increased, set levels being
equal.
IMPORTANT Turn the ignition
key to STOP or ring A to OFF, to
delete the stored speed and switch
the system off. To restore system
operation, turn the ring A to OFF
and repeat the setting operations.
When the system is on, that is, ring
A is in any position other than OFF,
symbol ú lights up on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
ON”. The warning light will remain
on until the system is switched off by
turning ring A to OFF.
Ring B is used to store the car
speed and keep it constant, or to
increase or decrease the stored
speed.
Turn ring B to (+) to store the
speed reached or increase the stored
speed.
Turn ring B to (–) to decrease the
stored speed. Slowing down can also
be obtained, when required, by
braking system automatic operation.
Every time ring B is turned, the
speed is increased or decreased by
about 1 km/h. By keeping the ring
rotated, the stored speed will change
continuously at intervals of 10
km/h. The new speed reached will
be maintained automatically.
When ring B is turned, the car’s
actual speed is considered as refer-
ence speed (cruise speed). This
speed can automatically decrease
depending on traffic conditions, and
the system can shift from the speed
control condition to the distance
control condition. The driver is
informed of the system’s operating
condition by the instrument panel
display.
Button C (RCL) allows to reset the
stored speed. In fact, when driving
the car with the system on, the dri-
ver can switch the system off by sim-
ply braking. In this case, the cruise
speed previously set is kept in the
memory and can be enabled again at
any time by pressing button RCL.
