STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start system automatically shuts off the
engine during a vehicle stop if the required
conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal will automatically restart the
engine.
The function was developed to increase vehicle
efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, gas
emissions, and sound pollution.

NOTE:
When the Stop/Start system stops the engine,
the power steering is also disabled.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping The Engine
With the vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE (R).
The system does not operate when the gear
selector is in REVERSE (R), in order to make
parking maneuvers easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine switching off is
disabled to make the “Hill Start Assist” function
available (works only with running engine).

NOTE:
The engine can only be automatically stopped
after having run at about 6 mph (10 km/h). After
an automatic restart, the vehicle only needs to
exceed a speed of 0.3 mph (0.5 km/h) to stop the
engine.
Engine stopping is signaled by the symbol
lighting up on the instrument cluster display. Restarting The Engine
To restart the engine, release the brake pedal or,
turn the steering wheel slightly (if equipped).
With the brake pressed and the transmission in
automatic mode DRIVE (D), the engine will restart
by shifting to REVERSE (R), to PARK (P) or to

ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control, and safety
reasons, the engine can restart automatically
without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on roads
with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start system for
more than approximately three minutes.
With the automatic climate control active, an
adjustment in cabin heating or cooling is made
or with MAX-DEF function active.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped through the Stop/
Start system, if the driver releases their seat belt,
opens the driver's or passenger's door, or opens
the hood from inside the vehicle, the engine can
be restarted only by using the ignition.
This condition is indicated to the driver both
through a buzzer and a message on the
instrument cluster display.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
If the driver does not carry out any action for more
than three minutes after the automatic engine
restart, the Stop/Start system will switch off the
engine in order to prevent fuel consumption.
In this situation, the engine can only be restarted
using the ignition device.

NOTE:
It is possible to keep the engine running by deac-
tivating the system.

CRUISE CONTROL
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a
constant preset speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the
vehicle speed up to the preset speed to
maintain a distance with the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always
be aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at
a time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise
Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will
be unavailable, and vice versa.
CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20 mph (32 km/h).Cruise Control On/Off Switch
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the left
side of the steering wheel.
While driving downhill, the system could brake
the vehicle to keep the set speed the same.
To Activate
To activate the Cruise Control system, push the
on/off button located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled by the
white warning light illuminating in the instrument

set speed is higher than the speed set with the
Speed Limiter, the set speed will be lowered to
that of the Speed Limiter.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the condi -
tions, and you could lose control and have an
accident. Do not use Cruise Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control 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 an acci -
dent. Always ensure the system is OFF when
you are not using it.

To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push the RES/SET switch downward and release
it to activate the system. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically.
SET Switch 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.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
Once the system has been activated, you can
increase the speed by pushing the RES/SET
switch upward or decrease the speed by pushing
the RES/SET switch downward. Each time the
switch is pushed, the speed is adjusted by 1 mph.
Pushing and holding the switch upward or
downward will cause the set speed to adjust in
5 mph increments until the button is released.
The new set speed is reflected in the instrument
cluster display.

NOTE:

Moving the RES/SET switch downward allows
you to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement (U.S. or Metric)
set on the radio system. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual for more information.
When the unit of measurement is set to Metric,
pushing and holding the RES/SET switch will
adjust the speed in 10 km/h increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal pressed, the
vehicle can continue to accelerate beyond the
set speed. In this case, use the RES/SET
switch to set the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
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.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 102

103
(Continued)
When you push the RES/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 shift 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.
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.

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

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
fascia/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:
Towing A Trailer
Towing a trailer is not recommended when using
ACC.
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.
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.
