STARTING AND OPERATING
100
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 
pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically 
restart the engine.
The function was designed 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 Stop/Start system shuts off the 
engine 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 uphill stops, the Stop/Start system 
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 
“AutoStick”  
Ú

EACTIVATION
To manually activate/deactivate the system, 
push the button located on the control panel to 
the left of the steering wheel.
Stop/Start Button
System Activation
The activation of the system is indicated by the   symbol lighting up on the display. In this 
condition, the light on the button is off. System Deactivation
A message will appear on the display when the 
system is deactivated. In this condition, the light 
on the button is on.
NOTE:
Each time the engine is started, the system is 
activated regardless of where it was when it was 
previously switched off.
POSSIBLE REASONS THE ENGINE DOES 
N
OT AUTOSTOP
For higher comfort and increased safety, and to 
reduce emissions, there are certain conditions 
where the engine will not autostop despite the 
system being active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Extreme cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
REVERSE (R) gear engaged (e.g. for parking 
maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control active, an 
adequate cabin heating or cooling comfort has 
not been reached or with MAX-DEF function 
active.
During the first period of use, to initialize the 
system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.

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

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 
cluster display.
Cruise Control Indicator Light
The Cruise Control function can remain active at 
the same time as the Speed Limiter system. If the 
set speed is higher than the speed set with the 
Speed Limiter, the set speed will be lowered to 
that of the Speed Limiter.
To Set A Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Cruise Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the desired  speed, push the SET switch up or down and 
release to activate. When the accelerator is 
released, the vehicle will maintain the 
selected speed automatically.
SET Switch Location
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can 
accelerate beyond the set speed by pressing the 
accelerator. When you release the pedal, the 
vehicle goes back to the previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system active, 
the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the set one.
NOTE:
Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle must 
be traveling at a constant speed on a flat surface.
 WARNING!
Cruise 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 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 
accident. Always ensure the system is OFF 
when you are not using it.

107
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
Setting a speed activates the system. The display 
shows the icon in green with the set speed.
To Pause/Deactivate
With the feature enabled (speed not set), push 
the on/off button to disable.
With the feature active (speed set), push the
on/off button to pause. The display will show the 
icon in white with the speed in brackets. To 
deactivate the feature, push the on/off button a 
second time.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.
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.
 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING
108
(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.

109
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 106
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.
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.
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.

HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM 
(HAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The Highway Assist System (HAS) is a driving 
assistance system that is only available when 
driving on highways. The system operates up to 
speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h).
The system uses information from the front 
camera and radar to help keep the vehicle in the 
center of the lane and at a constant speed.
HAS combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 
functions with lane centering logic to control the 
trajectory of the vehicle. HAS requires the driver’s 
hands to remain on the steering wheel. Once HAS is activated, a dedicated screen will 
appear on the instrument cluster display.

When the HAS system is turned off, the symbol 
on the display turns red and then grey.
Hands on the steering wheel are detected by a 
capacitive sensor within the steering wheel.
When the automatic suspension conditions are 
over, HAS will be automatically reactivated.
OPERATION
HAS only operates when the driver’s hands are on 
the steering wheel.
If the system detects that the driver’s hands have 
been removed from the steering wheel, the 
system will alert the driver to place their hands 
back on the steering wheel  
Ú
page 113.
If the vehicle crosses the lane boundary, the 
steering wheel will vibrate and the dedicated 
screen will appear in the instrument cluster 
display.
NOTE:
HAS may take up to five seconds to turn on once 
all conditions are met. During this time, a grey 
indicator light will appear on the instrument 
cluster display and the system will automatically 
activate as soon as all of the conditions are met 
with no intervention from the driver.
The following conditions must be met before
HAS turns on:
HAS must be enabled by pushing the button on 
the steering wheel
The vehicle must be on a highway
ACC must be activated
The right and left lane boundaries must be 
visible
The vehicle speed must be between 0 and 
90 mph (0 and 145 km/h)
The camera, radar, and radio system must be 
functioning properly
The road lane width must be between 8.5 ft 
and 13.7 ft (2.6 m and 4.2 m)
The turn signals must not be activated
HAS must be functioning properly
Other operating limits:
If the speed of ACC can be set to a higher value 
(top speed 110 mph (180 km/h), HAS is only 
available as long as the vehicle speed is equal 
to or less than 90 mph (145 km/h).
When the ACC speed is reduced and the vehicle 
speed is less than 90 mph (145 km/h), the 
system will automatically reactivate.
If the ACC speed is set to 90 mph (145 km/h),  traveling downhill may increase the vehicle 
speed. HAS will deactivate until the speed 
returns to 90 mph (145 km/h).
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The HAS status can always be viewed in the 
instrument cluster display.
The system status is indicated by the color of the 
symbol on the display.
HAS uses sensors in the steering wheel to detect 
if the driver’s hands are on it.
If the driver’s hands are not on the steering 
wheel, a series of warnings will appear in the 
instrument cluster display to alert the driver to 
reposition their hands on the steering wheel. An 
acoustic signal will also sound. After a period of 
time, HAS will disable if the driver’s hands do not 
return to the steering wheel.

Hands Removed Final Warning
If the driver’s hands are not returned to the 
steering wheel after an extended period of time, 
a deactivation message will appear on the 
instrument cluster display. The steering wheel 
control will be deactivated.
This display will remain active even when the 
driver’s hands are removed from the steering 
wheel. The symbol on the display will turn grey.
When HAS is active, the Lane Keeping Assist 
(LKA)/Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems
(if equipped), if previously activated, will remain 
activated.
