Increasing Speed; Decreasing Speed; Resuming The Speed - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

To Vary The Speed
Setting

Increasing Speed

Once the system has been activated,
you can increase the speed by lifting
the SET switch. Each time it is
operated, the speed increases by
1 mph.
By holding the button up, the set speed
will increase in increments of 5 mph
until the button is released. Then, the
new speed will be set.

Decreasing Speed

Once the system has been activated,
you can decrease the speed by
lowering the SET switch. Each time it is
operated, the speed decreases by
1 mph.
By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
5 mph until the button is released.
Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you
to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Information and
Entertainment System (see dedicated
supplement)
When the unit of measurement is
set to metric, holding the SET switch
the speed will change in 10 km/h
increments
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, use the SET switch to set
the speed to the vehicle's current
speed
When you push the 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 change 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
Accelerating When
Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, 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.

Resuming The Speed

Once the system has been canceled
but not deactivated, to resume a
previously set speed, simply push the
RES button and remove your foot from
the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
