IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to hold
the set distance, the driver is warned by
a message indicating that the vehicle
ahead is too close appears on the
display. An acoustic warning is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other cars or objectives
along the direction of the car. Failure to
comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the button is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
the button is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the car speed drops under the
minimum set speed (e.g. in presence of
slow cars).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in
the same manner as the ACC (by
pressing the
button of the Cruise
Control) with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the radar
sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING
126) Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
127) The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
128) The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
129) The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
130) The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe
distance to be held incorrectly or not at all.
131) The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
58) The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
