When the ESC (or 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 deactivation 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 recommended to
deactivate it.
To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you
can increase the speed by lifting the SET
switch. Each time it is operated, the
speed increases by 1 mph.
By holding the button up, the set speed
will increase in increments of 5 mph until
the button is released. Then, the new
speed will be set.
Decreasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you
can decrease the speed by lowering the
SET switch. Each time it is operated, the
speed decreases by 1 mph.
By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
5 mph until the button is released. Then,
the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you to
adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Information and
Entertainment System (see dedicated
supplement)
When the unit of measurement is set
to metric, holding the SET switch the
speed will change in 10 km/h increments
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, use the SET switch to set the
speed to the vehicle’s current speed
When you push the SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes 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, particularly on slight
inclines
The transmission could change to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat
Accelerating When Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing the
vehicle. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left
turn signal and will only be active when
passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled but
not deactivated, to resume a previously
set speed, simply push the RES button
and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
