ENDS
The Adaptive Cruise Control system has the capability
to make slight speed reductions during bends to
enhance vehicle stability and passenger comfort. This
feature can be especially helpful in roundabouts
or on gently curved roads where the curvature
gradually increases. However, it cannot compensate for
abrupt steering maneuvers or moderate-to-high lateral
accelerations in general.
In scenarios where the traffic situation demands it,
it is the drivers responsibility to apply the brakes,
as needed, to further decrease the vehicle's speed,
ensuring stability on tight bends or steep descents.
D
EACTIVATION
The device is deactivated, and the set speed is
canceled if:
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off is pressed.
The Active Speed Limiter button is pressed.
The ignition device switch is in the OFF position.
The system is canceled, and the set speed and
distance are stored in the following cases:
When the CANC button is pressed.
When the conditions indicated in the paragraph
"Setting the desired speed" occur.
If these conditions occur while the system is
decelerating concerning a vehicle ahead, the system
may continue the deceleration, if necessary, even after
it has been canceled or deactivated, as long as it
remains above the minimum speed that can be set
within the system.

PERATION
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
something blocking the camera view or a fault.
In the case of camera glare (e.g., due to low sun
in front of the windscreen or in foggy or heavy rain
conditions), it's advisable to wait until the lighting
and glare conditions improve, allowing the system to
resume full operation.
If an obstruction is signalled, clean the camera area
of the windshield and verify if the message has
disappeared.
Once the conditions that limited the system's
functionality have ended, it will return to its regular and
full operation. If the issue persists, it's recommended to
contact an authorized dealer for assistance.

RIVING
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
ARNING
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.
Offset Driving Condition Example
Turns And Bends
ACC
ITH
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.
