WARNING! (Continued)
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.
The driver is fully responsible for holding a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead
respecting the highway code in force in
the respective country.

"Stop And Go" Function

The "Stop and Go" operating strategy allows
you to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead until the vehicle has completely
stopped. It will also restart the vehicle auto-
matically if the vehicle ahead drives away
within two seconds, otherwise it is necessary
to press the accelerator pedal or move the
RES/SET switch upward to restart.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
a collision and death or serious personal
injury.

Deactivation

The system is deactivated and the set speed is
canceled if:
The on/off button is pushed (when the
system is on or paused).
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
RACE mode is activated (Quadrifoglio
models)
The system is canceled (the set speed and
distance are stored):
When the system is paused (Refer to the
"Activation / Deactivation" section)
When the conditions shown in the "Setting
The Desired Speed" section occur

Limited Operation Warning

If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the Adaptive
Cruise Control operation may have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle's sensor or camera. It could also be
due to a fault in the system. If an obstruction
is detected, clean the area of the windshield
opposite the interior rear view mirror, where
the camera is located, as well as the area of
the front bumper where the sensor is located.
Then check that the message has disap-
peared.
When the conditions limiting the system func-
tions end, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.

Precautions While Driving

The system may not work correctly in some
driving conditions (see below). The driver must
control the vehicle at all times.
Vehicle Not Aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle traveling
in the same lane, in the same direction, but is
not aligned. It also may not detect 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 lane causing the vehicle to brake
or accelerate unexpectedly.
Steering And Curves
Driving on curves with the system set could
limit speed and acceleration to guarantee
vehicle stability, even if no vehicles are
detected ahead.
When leaving the curve, the system resets the
previously set speed.
