when the clutch is pressed (versions
with manual transmission);
when the engine speed exceeds
a maximum threshold (versions with
manual transmission and versions with
automatic transmission/dual-clutch
automatic transmission) or goes below
a minimum threshold (only versions
with manual transmission);
when the car speed is not within the
settable speed range;
when the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating
or have just operated;
during automatic braking by the Full
Brake Control system (where provided);
when the Speed Limiter is active;
when the electronic Cruise Control is
active;
in case of failure of the device;
when the engine is off;
in case of obstruction of the radar
sensor (in this case the bumper area
where it is located must be cleaned).
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.
IMPORTANT With the device set, it is
possible to reach speeds higher than
those set in the system by pressing the
accelerator pedal. In this condition, the
device does not turn off automatically,
but the device functions are limited: it is
therefore recommended to turn it off.
CHANGING THE SPEED
Increasing speed
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be stored by holding the
SET + button pressed.
Press the SET + button once: the set
speed will increase by 1 km/h (or the
equivalent in mph). Each touch of the
button once will increase the speed by
1 km/h (or the equivalent in mph).
Hold the SET + button down: the set
speed will increase in 5 km/h steps (or
the equivalent in mph) until the button
is released. The set speed increase is
shown on the display.
Decreasing speed
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be reduced by holding the
SET – button pressed.
–
Press the SET button once: the
set speed will decrease by 1 km/h (or
the equivalent in mph). Each touch of
the button once will reduce the speed
by 1 km/h (or the equivalent in mph).
–
Hold the SET button down: the set
speed will decrease in 5 km/h steps (or
the equivalent in mph) until the button
is released. The set speed decrease is
shown on the display.
NOTE If "Sport" mode is chosen on
the Drive Mode Selector, the ACC will
be switch to sport mode: the system
will become more reactive in case of
acceleration.
ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active
and following a vehicle, the device
provides additional acceleration to
facilitate overtaking, when travelling
over a given speed and switches on
the left direction indicator on roads with
right-hand traffic (of the right indicator
for roads with left-hand traffic).
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
button and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CARS
The distance between your car and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 102.
