STARTING AND DRIVING
198
The system allows the vehicle to be
held at the desired speed without
needing to press the accelerator. It also
allows holding the distance set by the
driver from the vehicle ahead.
The system uses a radar sensor,
located behind the front bumper and a
camera, located in the middle area of
the windscreen fig. 236, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
236 F1A0998
WARNINGS
If the sensor does not detect any
vehicle ahead, the device will maintain
a fixed set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
the device automatically intervenes
by braking (or accelerating) slightly in
order not to exceed the original set
speed, so that the vehicle keeps the
preset distance, seeking to adapt to
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
It is advisable to turn the device off in
the following cases:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow;
driving near a bend (winding roads),
icy, snowy, slippery roads or with steep
slopes and descents;
entering a turn lane or on a slip road;
towing a trailer;
when circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.
