Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
Rear Fog Lights
The indicator illuminates when the rear
fog light is activated.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
In normal conditions, when the ignition
is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but it should turn off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the indicator light may be
checked by the traffic police using specific
devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of
the country where you are driving.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
traveling at moderate speed but without
demanding excessive effort from the engine or
high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
indicator light on constantly may cause damage.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
This indicator light informs the driver
that the frontal collision alarm function
is not enabled.
Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to an
authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.
CAUTION!
If, turning the ignition device to ON, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns
on steadily or is flashing when traveling (on
some versions together with the message on
the display), contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.

closed.
SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This feature allows the driver to program the
maximum speed of the vehicle.

NOTE:
The maximum set speed can be exceeded by
continuing to press the accelerator pedal.
The maximum speed can be set with the vehicle
stationary or in motion. The minimum speed that
can be set is 18 mph (30 km/h).

(Continued)
However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control
function performs differently


Ú
page 98.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your 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.
The system sets and holds the vehicle at the
desired speed without needing to press the
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
Front Bumper Radar Location Windshield Camera Location
If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will
automatically intervene by slightly braking or
accelerating in order to maintain the preset
distance. It will not exceed the original set speed
when adapting to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not guar -
anteed 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 inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed
Ú
page 238.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver 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:
• May react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle) at speeds between 2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and
60 km/h).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distanceconditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can re sult in
wro n

g or missing distance warnings.
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 100

101

Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is
19 mph (30 km/h) and the maximum is 110 mph
(180 km/h).
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 Brake 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 a 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 Activate/Deactivate
The system has four operating states:
Enabled (speed not set)
Activated (speed set)
Paused
Deactivated To Activate
To enable the system, push and release the on/
off button located on the left side on the steering
wheel.
On/Off Button
When the system is enabled and ready to
operate, the display shows the white ACC icon
above dashes in place of the speed.
Enabled Icons
•
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a vehicle ahead and holdthe vehicle for approximately twominutes in the stop position. If thevehicle ahead does not start movingwithin two minutes, the parking brakewill be activated and the ACC system will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
sn

ow, 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.
WARNING!
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 101

103

(Continued)
To Resume
Once the system has been canceled but not
deactivated, to resume a previously set speed,
simply push the RES/SET switch upward and
remove your foot from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored speed.
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).Distance Icons The distances from the vehicle ahead are propor
-
tional 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 bars (maximum) the first time
the system is used. After the distance has been
modified by the driver, the new distance will be
stored even if 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.
Distance Button
The 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 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.
WARNING!
The maximum braking 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
objects along the direction of the vehicle.
Failure to comply with these precautions
may cause serious accidents and injuries.

STARTING AND OPERATING

104

Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following a
vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph
(70 km/h), 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.
“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.
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following the vehicle
in front, if the vehicle in front starts moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion
without the need for any driver action.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, the driver will have to push 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
Ú
page 101
When the conditions shown in the “Activating
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” section occur

Ú
page 101
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 rearview 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 With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake
late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene. The following
are examples of these types of situations:
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line
of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or
accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the
system may increase or decrease the vehicle
speed for stability, with no vehicle ahead
detected. Once the vehicle is out of the curve the
system will resume your original set speed. This is
a part of normal ACC system functionality.

NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the system.
The system only limits the speed DURING a
bend and not BEFORE it.
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!
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.
