STARTING AND OPERATING
ACC Distance Icon
The system is initially set to 4 bars (maximum) the first
time it is used. After the driver adjusts the distance, the
new setting will be retained even after the system is
turned off and then reactivated.
To Decrease The distance
Press and release the Distance Increase/Decrease
button on the steering wheel to decrease the distance
setting. Each time the button is pressed, the distance
setting decreases by one bar, making it shorter.
When the shortest distance setting is reached, pressing
the button again will set the longest distance. The
system will maintain the set speed if there are no
vehicles ahead.
If a vehicle in the same lane, traveling at a slower
speed, is detected on the instrument panel, an icon
(if equipped) will appear on the display. The system will
automatically adjust your car's speed to maintain the
set distance, regardless of the set speed.
The car will maintain the set distance until any of the
following occur:
●
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed higher
than the set speed.
●
The vehicle ahead changes lanes or leaves the
detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control device
sensor.
●
The distance setting is altered.
●
The Adaptive Cruise Control device is deactivated or
canceled.
CAUTION!
●
The maximum breaking applied by the device is
limited. The driver may apply the brakes in all
cases if needed.
●
If the device predicts that the level of braking is
not sufficient to maintain the set distance, the
word "BRAKE!" or a dedicated message on the
instrument panel display warns the driver that the
vehicle ahead is too close. An acoustic signal is
also emitted. In this case, it is advisable to brake
immediately as necessary to hold a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead.
●
The driver is responsible for ensuring that there
are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objectives
along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to
comply with these precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.
●
The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective country.

UNCTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic
conditions allow, permits additional acceleration for
overtaking by simply activating the direction indicator.
This extra acceleration is provided as long as it's
ensured that there is sufficient distance to overtake the
other vehicle.
Once the acceleration begins, the driver should ensure
that it's safe to do so, considering the traffic and
vehicles approaching from behind. The driver can then
execute the lane change maneuver to overtake. After
the overtaking is completed and the path is clear
of vehicles, the Adaptive Cruise Control system will
resume control of the chosen speed or reduce it to
maintain the desired distance from the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
The overtaking aid function is available on the side
where overtaking is legally permitted according to the
traffic regulations (on the left in countries with right-
side traffic and on the right in countries with left-side
traffic).
WARNING!
The device detects the direction of traffic
automatically when the car passes from left-hand
traffic to right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active when the
reference vehicle is overtaken on the right. The
additional acceleration is activated when the driver
uses the right direction indicator. In this condition,
the device no longer provides the overtaking assist
function on the lefthand side until it determines that
the car has returned to left-hand traffic conditions.
