STARTING AND OPERATING

96

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.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Stop/Start
system is deactivated.
For failure indications

Ú
page 70.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the battery
is replaced), special attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power supply.
Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to disconnect
sensor (battery status monitoring) installed on
the negative pole of the battery. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced. Battery Power Supply

NOTE:
After setting the ignition to OFF and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least one minute
before disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that the ignition
is in the OFF position and the driver side door is
closed.

STARTING AND OPERATING

100

Resume Button Location
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.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the Cruise
Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise Control
system
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise Control
functions with controlling the distance from the
vehicle ahead. ACC increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
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 247.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 100

101

(Continued)
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
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 distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can res ult in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• 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 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.
