STARTING AND DRIVING
160
If the vehicle stays stopped for more
than 5 minutes or if the driver's door
is opened or the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, then the electric parking
brake is applied automatically to
hold the vehicle. The symbol
will illuminate. To release the electric
parking brake, if the manual gearbox
has the gear engaged or the electrified
dual clutch transmission/Electric Dive
Unit are in position D, press the
accelerator pedal.

DRIVER'S ATTENTION
Use the Adaptive Cruise Control
carefully on bends or mountain roads,
as it can lose the vehicle ahead and
needs time to detect it again
do not use the system on slippery
roads as it can create rapid changes in
tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that
you could lose control of the vehicle
do not use the Adaptive Cruise
Control during rain, snow or heavy dirt,
as the radar sensor can be covered by
a water film, dust, ice or snow. This
reduce or suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor blockage,
clean the sensor cover
do not use the system when the
spare wheel is in use
SYSTEM LIMITS
196)
After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to detect
the next preceding vehicle. So if a new
vehicle is detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
The Adaptive Cruise Control does
ignore the oncoming traffic.
The Adaptive Cruise Control does
not consider pedestrians and animals
for braking and driving off.
The Adaptive Cruise Control
considers stopped vehicles only at low
speed.
Do not use the Adaptive Cruise
Control when towing a trailer.
Do not use the Adaptive Cruise
Control on roads with an incline of
more than 10%.
As the radar's field of detection is quite
narrow, it is possible that the system
may not detect:
vehicles of reduced width, e.g.
motorcycles, scooters fig. 190
190 F6S0015
vehicles not running in the middle of
the lane fig. 191
191 F6S0016
vehicles entering a corner
vehicles suddenly pulling out
Deactivate the system in the following
situations:
