INTELLIGENT SPEED
ASSIST
The "Intelligent Speed Assist" system
can be used to set a speed limit on
the "Speed Limiter" system equal to
the one detected on the road signs by
means of the "Traffic Sign Recognition"
system, signalled to the driver on the
instrument panel display. The minimum
speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20
mph).
The "Intelligent Speed Assist" system
can be activated if the following
systems are active:
Speed Limiter (see the chapter in this
section)
Traffic Sign Recognition (see the
chapter in this section)
When the "Intelligent Speed Assist"
system recognises a new road sign,
it will suggest the new speed limit to
the driver with a specific message
and dedicated alerts depending on
whether the road sign is higher or
lower than the current speed stored
by the Speed Limiter. Consider both
unconditional speed limits and those
valid in rain, snow or fog to be valid for
speed limitation.
You can confirm by pressing the
RES button the speed limit setting
equal to the suggested sign. Once the
speed limit provided by the "Traffic
Sign Recognition" system has been
acquired as the new Speed Limiter
value, the activation of Intelligent Speed
Assist is indicated by the symbol LIM
on the display and the relevant road
sign is shown surrounded by green.
SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
The system is deactivated under the
following conditions:
when the Traffic Sign Recognition
system is deactivated;
when the Speed Limiter system is
deactivated;
when the Traffic Sign Recognition
system shows a new speed limit which
is not confirmed by the driver;
when the Traffic Sign Recognition
system shows the end of the speed
limit;
when the Traffic Sign Recognition
system cannot display any speed limit.
EXCEEDING THE
PROGRAMMED SPEED
By fully depressing the accelerator
pedal, the programmed speed can
be exceeded even with the "Intelligent
Speed Assist" system active (e.g. in
the event of overtaking). The system is
disabled until the speed drops below
the set limit, after which it activates
again automatically.

DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The device allows to hold the vehicle at
the desired speed without needing to
press the accelerator. It also allows to
hold a given distance from the vehicle
ahead (the distance can be set by the
driver).
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
uses a radar sensor, located behind the
front bumper fig. 227 and a camera,
located in the middle area of the
windscreen fig. 228, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
