continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant
speed in addition to the Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the car, the
electronic Cruise Control works in the
same manner as the ACC (by pressing
the button of the Cruise Control)
with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the radar
sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING
125) Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
126) The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account
the traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
127) The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
128) The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
129) The device does not always fully
recognise complicated driving conditions
which could cause incorrect or non-
existing determination of the safe distance
to be held.
130) The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
47) The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
48) The section of the bumper in front the
sensor must not be covered with stickers,
auxiliary headlights or any other object.
49) Operation can be adversely affected
by any structural change made to the
car, such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the car.
50) Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
51) Do not tamper with or carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen glass. In the
event of a sensor failure, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
52) Do not wash with high-pressure jets
in the bumper lower area: in particular
do not operate on the system's electrical
connector.
53) Be careful in the case of repairs
and new paintings in the area around
the sensor (panel covering the sensor
on the left side of the bumper). In the
event of a frontal impact the sensor may
automatically deactivate and display a
warning to indicate that the sensor needs
to be repaired. Even without a malfunction
warning, deactivate the system operation
if you think that the position of the
radar sensor has changed (e.g. due to
low-speed frontal impact as during parking
manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the radar sensor
realigned or replaced.
