driver may apply the brakes in all cases
if needed.
WARNING If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to
hold the set distance, the warning
message "BRAKE!" will blink on the
display while approaching the vehicle
ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING 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.
WARNING The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the button
is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
"Setting the desired speed" paragraph
occur;
when the vehicle speed drops
under the minimum set speed (e.g. in
presence of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect
to a vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
SYSTEM LIMITED
OPERATION WARNING
If the dedicated message is shown
on the display, a condition limiting the
system operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitation
are a fault, blinding of one of the
sensors or something blocking the
camera view.
In case of radar sensor obstruction,
clean the sensor position in the zone
shown in fig. 226.
Use a clean cloth for cleaning. Do not
use solvents or abrasive paste.
When the conditions limiting the
system functions end, this will go back
to normal and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
Vehicle not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which
is not aligned along the same direction
of travel or 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 direction causing
the vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and curves
On curves fig. 232 with the device set,
it could limit speed and acceleration
to vehicle stability even if no cars are
detected ahead.
