SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
18 mph (30mk/h).
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system.
Activating the device
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in

ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) —
IF EQUIPPED
System Description
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist system that combines the
speed control functions for 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. This system enhances driving comfort
while on the highway or out of town
with light traffic.
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.
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.GUID-07146S0010EMOn/Off Button

STARTING AND OPERATING

Setting The Distance
Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 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 1-bar setting) to two seconds
(for the maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the
display by a dedicated icon.
The setting is 4 (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.
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 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 Active Cruise
Control is pushed (with the system
enabled or paused).
The ignition is in STOP mode.
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 vehicles 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
travelling 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.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving lane causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering And Curves
Driving on curves with the system set
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability, even if no
vehicles are detected ahead.
When leaving the curve, the system
resets the previously set speed.
Note:
In cases of narrow curves, the
performance of the system could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the system.GUID-07146S0011EMSteering And Curves
