STARTING AND OPERATING
178
(Continued)
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the vehicle icon on the display illumi-
nates from grey to white. The system automat-
ically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to keep the
set distance, independently of the set speed.
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 deac-
tivated/paused.
“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 auto-
matically if the vehicle ahead drives away
within two seconds, otherwise it is necessary
to press the accelerator pedal or move the
RES/SET switch upward to restart.
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 placed in the OFF position
RACE mode is activated (Quadrifoglio models)
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 oppo-
site 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 func-
tions end, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
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.
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.
