SPEED CONTROL
(CRUISE CONTROL)
Speed Control Description
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance feature that allows the
desired vehicle speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal. This feature can be used at a speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h) on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (highways).
The speed control buttons are located on
the left side of the steering wheel.
Note:
To ensure correct operation, the
speed control is designed to deactivate
if more than one function is operated
simultaneously. In this case, the system
can be reactivated by pushing the on/off
button
and setting the desired
speed.
It is not recommended to use this
feature in city traffic.
While driving downhill, the system could
brake the vehicle to keep the set speed
the same.
Warning!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Activating
To activate the Speed Control System,
push the on/off button location on the
left side of the steering wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled
by the white warning light
illuminating

Recalling The Speed
Once the system has been deactivated,
but not canceled, the previously set
speed can be recalled by pushing the RES
button and removing your foot from the
accelerator. The system will be set to the
last stored speed.
Note:Before resuming the previously
set speed, you must accelerate to a
speed close to that speed.
In Autostick (sequential) mode, before
resuming the previously set speed, you
should accelerate until you are close to
that speed. Then, push and release the
RES button.
Deactivating
Lightly pressing the brake pedal
deactivates the speed control without
deleting the set speed.
The speed control may also be deactivated
by applying the electric park brake or
when the braking system is operated
(e.g. operation of the ESC system).
The set speed is deleted in the following
cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second
time.
The ignition is cycled to STOP.
If there is a malfunction with the
Speed Control.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(ACC) — IF EQUIPPED
System Description
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist system that combines the
speed control functions with controlling
the distance from the vehicle ahead.
The system allows to set and hold the
vehicle at the desired speed without
needing to press the accelerator. It also
allows to set and hold a distance from the
vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor located behind the front
bumper and a camera located in the
center/upper part of the windshield, to
detect the presence of a vehicle close
ahead.
07146S0003EMResume Button Location
06016S0003EMFront Bumper Radar Location
151

This system enhances driving comfort
while on the highway or out of town with
light traffic.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, the system will maintain a fixed
set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
system automatically intervenes by
braking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
Note:
Adaptive Cruise Control
performance is not guaranteed under the
following circumstances, and it is
recommended to turn the system off
when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or
construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads,
roads with steep climbs and descents, or
roads with numerous turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.
Warning!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete attention
is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled
vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in wrong
or missing distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a target vehicle and hold the
vehicle for approximately 3 minutes in the
stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the parking
brake will be activated, and the ACC system
will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway
construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Activation/Deactivation
The system has four operating states:
Enabled (speed not set)
Activated (speed set)
Paused
Deactivated
Enabling/Activating
To enable the system, push and release
the
button located on the left side on
the steering wheel.

STARTING AND OPERATING

When the system is enabled and ready to
operate, the display shows the white icon
above dashes in place of the speed.
Setting a speed activates the system.
The display shows the icon in green with
the set speed.
Note:The system cannot be enabled
when RACE mode is active.
Warning!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it
to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
Pausing/Deactivating
With the feature enabled (speed not set),
push the
button to disable.
With the feature active (speed set), push
the
button to pause. The display will
show the icon in white with the speed in
brackets. To deactivate the feature, push
the
button a second time.
Setting The Desired Speed
The speed can be set from a minimum of
20 mph (30 km/h) to a maximum of
110 mph (180 km/h).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, push the SET switch upward or
downward and release it to activate the
system. When the accelerator is released,
the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically. While the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the system will not be able to control the
distance between the vehicle and the one
ahead. In this case, the speed will be
determined only by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The system will return to normal
operation as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released.
The system
cannotbe set:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the electric park brake has been
operated.
When either PARK (P), REVERSE (R) or
NEUTRAL (N) is engaged.
When the engine rpm is above a
maximum threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within
the operational speed range.

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.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that value,
then push the RES button and release it.
Warning!
The Resume function should only be used if
traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming
a set speed that is too high or too low for
prevailing traffic and road conditions could
cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate
too sharply for safe operation. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision
and death or serious personal injury.
Setting The Distance Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to one bar
(short), two bars (medium), three bars
(long), or four bars (maximum).
The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed.
The interval of time with relation to the
vehicle ahead remains constant and
varies from one second (for the short
distance one-bar setting) to two seconds
(for the maximum distance four-bar
setting).
The set distance is shown on the display
by a dedicated icon.
The setting is four (maximum) the first
time the system is used. After the
distance has been modified by the driver,
the new distance will be stored also after
the system is deactivated and
reactivated.To Decrease The Distance
Push and release the distance button to
decrease the distance setting. The
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter) every time the button is pushed.
T
he set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest distance
has been selected, the next push of the
button will set the maximum distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the vehicle icon on the display
illuminates from grey to white. The
system automatically 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
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:
Thebutton on the Adaptive Cruise
Control is pushed (with the system
enabled or paused).
The ignition is cycled to STOP.
RACE mode is activated.
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.
