Activation of the system
Once enabled, the HDC system will
activate automatically if the car is driven
downhill on a steep slope, higher than
8%.
The speed set for the HDC system can
beadjustedusingtheSET stalkfig.63 (in
the range from 1.25 mph to 20 mph (from
2 km/h to 30 km/h).
Once the desired speed has been
reached, release the SET stalk and the
HDC system will maintain the set speed.
It is also possible to reduce the set speed
with the brake pedal. The system will
acquire the current speed when the pedal
is released as the reference.

If the car speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h),
but remains below 37 mph (60 km/h) and
the accelerator pedal is released, as soon
as the car gets close to the set speed, the
HDC system will brake to bring the car to
the set speed.
The driver can cancel HDC system
intervention at any time by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
System deactivation
The HDC system is deactivated, but
remains available, if one of the following
conditions is met:
the car is on a descent with insufficient
gradient, below 8%, or a level surface, or
is going uphill;
P (Park) mode is engaged.
Disabling the system
53)
The system is disabled if one of the
following conditions is met:
button pressed;
Cruise Control / Active Cruise Control
is activated.
37 mph (60 km/h) is exceeded.
System deactivation is shown by the icon
on the display turning off.
WARNING
29) For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km
(310 miles) is required: during this period it
is advisable to avoid sharp, repeated and
prolonged braking.
30) If the ABS intervenes, this indicates that
the grip of the tyres on the road is nearing
its limit: you must slow down to a speed
compatible with the available grip.
31) The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
32) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
33) The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously,
in such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
34) For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
35) There may be a brief delay in shifting to
AWD mode after a tyre slipping event.
36) When a DTC system failure symbol
appears, the driver must be aware of the
different driving reaction and therefore
reduce the speed The symbol warns the
driver not to drive in areas that require four-
wheel drive or on snow-covered roads.
37) The ESC system cannot alter the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase grip,
which depends on the condition of the road.
38) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
39) The capability of the ESC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
