STARTING AND OPERATING
176
The system cannot be activated:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the electric park brake has been
operated.
When either PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL is
engaged.
When the engine RPM is above a maximum
threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within the
operational speed range.
When the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(or Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or other
stability control systems) are operating or
have just operated.
When the ESC system is off.
When the Forward Collision Warning system
(if equipped) is braking automatically.
In the event of system failure.
When the engine is off.
In case of obstruction of the radar sensor (in
this case the bumper area where it is
located must be cleaned).
If the system is set, the conditions described
above also cause a cancellation or deactiva-
tion of the system. These situations may vary
according to the conditions.
NOTE:
The system will not be deactivated when
speeds higher than those set are reached by
pressing the accelerator pedal above
110 mph (180 km/h). In these situations, the
system may not work correctly and it is recom-
mended to deactivate it.
To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you can
increase the speed by pushing the RES/SET
switch upward. Each time the switch is
pushed, the speed increases by 1 mph.
By pushing and holding the switch upward, the
set speed will increase in increments of 5 mph
until the switch is released. Then, the new
speed will be set.
Decreasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you can
decrease the speed by pushing the RES/SET
switch downward. Each time the switch is
pushed, the speed decreases by 1 mph.
By pushing and holding the switch downward,
the set speed will decrease in increments of
5 mph until the switch is released. Then, the
new speed will be set.
NOTE:
Moving the RES/SET switch downward
allows you to adjust the speed according to
the selected unit of measurement ("U.S." or
"Metric") set on the radio system (see dedi-
cated supplement).
When the unit of measurement is set to
Metric, pushing and holding the RES/SET
switch will adjust the speed in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal pressed,
the vehicle can continue to accelerate
beyond the set speed. In this case, use the
RES/SET switch to set the speed to the
vehicle’s current speed.
When you push the RES/SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system inter-
venes automatically if the engine brake
does not slow the vehicle down sufficiently
to reach the set speed. The device holds the
set speed uphill and downhill; however a
slight variation is entirely normal, particu-
larly on slight inclines.
The transmission could shift to a lower gear
when driving downhill, or when acceler-
ating. This is normal and necessary to main-
tain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving if the
brakes overheat.
