The vehicle 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 Adaptive Cruise
Control system sensor.
The distance setting is changed.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system is
deactivated/paused.
Warning!
The maximum breaking applied by the
system is limited. The driver may apply the
brakes in all cases if needed.
If the system predicts that the braking
level is insufficient to hold the set distance,
either “BRAKE!” or a dedicated message is
displayed to warn the driver of approaching
the vehicle ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advised to brake
immediately as necessary to hold a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that
there are no pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the vehicle.
Failure to comply with these precautions
may cause serious accidents and injuries.
The driver is fully responsible for holding
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead
respecting the highway code in force in the
respective country.
“Stop And Go” Function
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the vehicle
has completely stopped. It will also
restart the vehicle automatically if the
vehicle ahead drives away within two
seconds, otherwise it is necessary to
press the accelerator pedal or push the
RES button to restart.
Warning!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set
speed is canceled if:
The (on/off) button is pushed (when
the system is on or paused).
The ignition is cycled to STOP.
The system is canceled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
When the system is paused (Refer to
the “Activation / Deactivation” section).
When the conditions shown in the
“Setting The Desired Speed” section
occur.
Limited Operation Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the Adaptive
Cruise Control operation may have
occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle’s sensor or camera. It could also
be due to a fault in the system. If an
obstruction is detected, clean the area of
the windshield opposite the interior rear
view mirror, where the camera is located,
as well as the area of the front bumper
where the sensor is located. Then check
that the message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, normal operation will
resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an
authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving
The system may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below). The
driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Vehicle Not Aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle
traveling in the same lane, in the same
direction, but is not aligned. It also may
not detect a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance from
the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
