Resuming Speed
will appear
If a speed setting is stored in system
memory, press the multifunction
control (RES +) up and take foot off
the accelerator pedal. The last set
speed will be displayed.
WARNING!
The resume function should be used
only when road and traffic conditions
allow it. Resuming too a high or too a
low speed for current traffic and road
conditions could cause a harsh vehicle
acceleration or deceleration which
could jeopardise driving safety and
risk to cause severe accidents.
Setting the ACC Gap
The specified ACC gap can be set by
varying the distance setting among the
four possible options identified by the
number of horizontal bars:
• Maximum (longest) distance: 4 bars.
• Long distance: 3 bars (default
distance).
• Medium distance: 2 bars.
• Short distance: 1 bar.
Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets
the gap to the vehicle ahead.
If system does not detect the presence
of any vehicles ahead, only the bars
referred to set distance will be
displayed.
When system detects the presence of a
vehicle ahead, it is displayed in front
of the bars (see example in the figure).
To increase or decrease the number of
bars, corresponding to the gap from
vehicle ahead, press and release the
distance setting button. Each press and
release of the button changes the gap
starting from 3 bars (default distance)
and moving in a sequential way
towards the minimum distance:
3→2→1→4→3→2→1→4 and so on.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle
will maintain the set speed. If a slower
moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the system displays the target
vehicle icon before the bars. From that
moment, the system adjusts vehicle
