● When the transmission is in P (Park), R (Rever
se), or
N (Neutral).
● When the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
(or ABS or other stability control systems) is actively
intervening or has just completed an intervention.
● When the Autonomous Emergency Brake Control
(AEB Control) system (if equipped) is automatically
applying the brakes.
● If the Speed Limiter is active, you can deactivate it by
pressing the ACC button on the steering wheel. Press
the ACC button again to set the system to "ready"
status.
● In case of a device malfunction.
● When the engine is off.
● On very steep slopes.
● If the radar sensor is obstructed, clean the sensor
with a clean cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive
paste. In this scenario, the system may cancel or
deactivate for a period depending on the conditions.
NOTE:
The system is not deactivated when speeds higher
than those set are reached with the accelerator pedal
pressed. In these conditions, the system may not work
correctly, and it's advisable to deactivate it.
Increasing/Decreasing Of Speed
After having set the system, the stored speed can be
increased or decreased by holding the SET + and SET -
buttons pressed.
● Press the SET + or SET - button once: the set speed
will increase or decrease by 1 mph (1 km/h). Each
subsequent press of the button will result in an
increase or decrease of 1 m
ph (1 km/h).
● Hold the SET + or SET - button pressed: the set
speed will increase or decrease in 5 mph steps (or
1
0 km/h) until the button is released.
The set speed increase or decrease is shown on the
display.
Warnings
● By keeping the accelerator pedal depressed, the
vehicle can continue to accelerate beyond the set
speed. In this case, press the SET + or SET – button
to set the speed to the current speed of the vehicle.
● When the SET – button is pressed to reduce the
speed, the braking system intervenes automatically
if the exhaust brake does not slow the car down
sufficiently to reach the set speed.
● The system holds the set speed uphill and downhill;
however a slight variation is entirely normal,
particularly on steep gradients.
● The device is switched off while driving if the brakes
overheat.
Speed Variation With Road Sign
(Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control)
The Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control system can be
used to set a speed limit equal to that indicated on
the road sign detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition
system
ð
page 76.
When a new speed limit is recognized, the Traffic Sign
Information system will suggest the new limit, which
will be shown with a message on the instrument panel
displa
y. The driver can accept the new limit by pressing
the RES button to set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed
to that suggested by the road sign.
The activation of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
is indicated by the relative symbol on the display and
the green circle around the speed limit sign.
Coming To A Stop And Restarting
The system can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill
when the vehicle in front of it slows down and stops.
The system will automatically restart the vehicle if the
vehicle comes to a stop and the vehicle in front restarts
within 2 seconds. If the vehicle in front restarts after 2
seconds, the RES button or the accelerator pedal must
be pressed to reactivate the system and restart. If the
system keeps the vehicle at a standstill for 2 minutes,
the electric parking brake will activate and the system
will be deactivated.
NOTE:
The electric parking brake will be activated and the
system will be deactivated at speeds close to stopping,
if the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opens the door.
WARNING!
The driver must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or other obstacles in front of the vehicle
when the system is reactiv
ated. Failure to comply
with this precaution may cause serious accidents and
fatal injuries.
