accelerator pedal to make the vehicle
go faster than the set speed. While the
accelerator pedal is pressed:
a dedicated message will appear on
the display for a few seconds;
the device 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 device will return to normal
operation as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released.
The system cannot be set:
when pressing the brake pedal;
when the brakes are overheated;
when the electric parking brake is
engaged;
when the transmission in P (Park), R
(Reverse) or N (Neutral);
when the engine speed is above a
maximum threshold;
when the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating
or have just operated;
when the Autonomous Emergency
Brake Control (AEB Control)
system (where provided) is braking
automatically;
when the Speed Limiter is active:
press the button (A) fig. 237 to
deactivate the Speed Limiter. Press the
(A) button again to set the system to
"ready" status;
in case of failure of the device;
when the engine is off;
on very steep slopes;
in case of radar sensor obstruction:
in this case, clean the sensor. Use a
clean cloth for cleaning. Do not use
solvents or abrasive paste. In case of
system set, the conditions described
above also cause a cancellation
or deactivation of the system with
times that may vary according to the
conditions.
WARNING The device is not
deactivated when speeds higher
than those set are reached with
the accelerator pedal pressed. In
these conditions, the device may not
work correctly and it is advisable to
deactivate it.
INCREASING/DECREASING
OF SPEED
After having set the system, the stored
speed can be increased or decreased
by holding the SET + and SET -
buttons pressed.
Press the SET + or SET - button
once: the set speed will increase or
decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph). Each
subsequent press of the button will
result in an increase or decrease of
1 km/h (1 mph).
Hold the SET + or SET - button
pressed: the set speed will increase or
decrease in 10 km/h steps (or 5 mph)
until the button is released.
The set speed increase or decrease is
shown on the display.
WARNINGS
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue
to accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, press the SET + (or SET – )
button to set the speed to the current
speed of the vehicle.
When the SET – button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the exhaust
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed.
The system holds the set speed
uphill and downhill; however a slight
variation is entirely normal, particularly
on steep gradients.
The device is switched off while
driving if the brakes overheat.
Speed variation with
road sign (Intelligent
Adaptive Cruise Control)
The system can be used to set a
speed limit equal to that indicated on
the road sign detected by the "Traffic
Sign Recognition" system (see the
respective chapter in this section).
The "Traffic Sign Recognition" system
will suggest the new speed limit which
