Adaptive Cruise Control (Acc) - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2024 Owner's Manual

Metric Speed (km/h)
□
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a 1 km/h
speed adjustment. Each subsequent movement of
the switch results in an adjustment of 1 km/h.
□
If the switch is continually pushed, the set speed will
continue to adjust until the switch is released, then
the new set speed will be established.
NOTE:
Moving the RES/SET switch downward allows you to
adjust the speed according to the selected unit of
measurement ("US" or "Metric") set on the radio system
page 180.
To Accelerate For Passing
While the Cruise Control is set, press the accelerator to
pass as you would normally. When the pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and
down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without Cruise
Control.
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.

To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button
and release. Resume can be used at any speed above
20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE:
Before resuming the previously set speed, you must
accelerate to a speed close to that speed.
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
A C C (ACC)
DAPTIVE RUISE ONTROL
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 will
adjust the vehicle speed up to the preset speed to
maintain a distance with 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
page 100.
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 fascia/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).
