determines that the vehicle has moved
back to a location with left hand drive.
ACC Operation Before and
During Stop
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two-three
seconds the system will not be able to
resume driving the car autonomously.
In this condition, TFT displays an
instruction message pop up for 5
seconds.
When the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following
a target vehicle, the brakes are
released after two or three seconds
after the stop and at the same time
the system inserts the parking brake.
When parking brake engages the ACC
deactivates going to ready state.
At this point the driver must act on the
multifunction control (RES + or SET -
) or alternatively on the accelerator
pedal.
While ACC with Stop is holding your
vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
unbuckles the seatbelt or opens the
door, the ESC system will activate the
EPB. During standstill, ACC system
monitors the occupant detection
signals: if the driver's seatbelt becomes
unbuckled, the ACC system shall be
cancelled when the EPB is applied.
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.
•
During the automatic stopping
behind a vehicle in some rare cases it
may happen that the system does
not recognize the rearmost point of
the vehicle ahead but a target under
the vehicle ahead (e.g. the back axis
of a truck with a high loading edge
or a bumper of a vehicle although
overhanging load is hanging over
the vehicle's rear). In these cases
the system cannot guarantee the
appropriate stopping distance
leading to collision in the worst case.
For this reason the driver has to be
attentive and ready to brake during
automatic stops.
Display Warnings and
Maintenance of ACC and FCW
Systems
Wipe Front Radar Sensor Warning
This warning will display and also a
chime will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to sensor poor or failed signal
reception. This most often occurs at
times of poor visibility, such as in
snow or heavy rain. The ACC and FCW
systems may also become temporarily
blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice on the radar sensor.
In these cases, the system will be
disabled.
This message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly
reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with
reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The
ACC and FCW systems will recover
operation after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions,
when the radar is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the sensor.
It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located in
the center of the front grille, behind
the Maserati trident.
To keep the ACC System operating
properly, it is important to note the
following maintenance items:
• Always keep the sensor clean.
Carefully wipe the sensor lens with a
soft cloth. Be cautious not to damage
it.
