CHANGING THE SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by pressing SET +/-
buttons. Keeping the buttons pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
The driver's preferred units can be
selected through the instrument panel
display. For more information, refer to
the "Display" chapter in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section.
Press the SET +/- button once: the
set speed will increase/decrease by
1 km/h (or by 1 mph when the unit of
measurement is set to mph). Each touch
of the button once will increase/decrease
the speed by 1 km/h (or by 1 mph, the
latter for instrument panels set to miles
per hour).
Hold the SET +/- button pressed: the
set speed will decrease in 10 km/h
steps (or in 10 mph steps when the
measurement unit is set to mph) until
the button is released. The set speed
increase/decrease is shown on the
display.

NOTES:
When you override and push the SET +
button or SET - button, the new Set
Speed will be the current speed of the
car.
When the SET - button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the car down
sufficiently to reach the set speed.
If equipped with a manual
transmission, the ACC system applies the
brake down to 24 km/h when following a
reference car
If the car is equipped with a
automatic transmission, the ACC system
decelerates the car to a full stop when
following a reference vehicle. If an
ACC host car follows a target vehicle
to a standstill, after two seconds the
driver will either have to push the RES
(resume) button, or apply the accelerator
pedal to re-engage the ACC to the
existing Set Speed.
The ACC system maintains set speed
when driving uphill and downhill.
However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
The automatic transmission could
change to a lower gears when driving
downhill or when accelerating. This is
normal and necessary to maintain the set
speed.
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. 160, fig. 161. By
using the setting and the car speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance from the
vehicle ahead. The set distance is shown
on the instrument panel display.
