downhill or when accelerating. This is
normal and necessary to maintain the set
speed.
The device is switched off while driving if
the brakes overheat.
ACCELERATING WHEN OVERTAKING
130)
When driving behind a vehicle with the
device active, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking if travelling at over 43 mph
(70 km/h) and the left direction indicator
(or the right indicator for right-hand drive
versions) is switched on.
In left-hand traffic, the overtaking assist
function is only active when the left-hand
lane is used for overtaking the vehicle
ahead (the opposite activation logic is
used in right-hand traffic countries).
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, and a speed was
previously set, simply move the RES/SET
lever up and lift your foot off the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
WARNING The recall function must only
be used if the road and traffic conditions
so allow. Recalling an excessively high or
low speed for the current traffic and road
conditions could cause an acceleration
or a deceleration of the vehicle. Failure
to comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and fatal
injuries.
SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN
CARS
131) 132) 133) 134)
The distance between your car and the
vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar (short),
2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long), 4 bars
(maximum) fig. 120.

The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed.
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance
has been modified by the driver, the new
distance will be stored also after the
system is deactivated and reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the button to decrease
the distancesetting fig. 121.The distance
setting decreases by one bar (shorter)
every time the button is pressed.
121 07146V0052EM
The set speed is held if there are no cars
ahead. Once the shortest distance has
been reached, a further press of the
button will set the longest distance.
The car holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Active Cruise
Control sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
Active Cruise Control is
deactivated/paused.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the / CANC button on the Active
Cruise Control is pressed (with the
device on or paused);
