DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The device allows to hold the vehicle at
the desired speed without needing to
press the accelerator. It also allows to
hold a given distance from the vehicle
ahead (the distance can be set by the
driver).
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses
a radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 87, to detect the presence
of a vehicle close ahead.The device further enhances driving
comfort provided by the electronic
Cruise Control when on the motorway
or out of town with light traffic.
The use of the device is therefore not
advantageous on busy roads or in
town.
IMPORTANT NOTES
If the sensor does not detect any
vehicle ahead, the device will maintain a
fixed set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
the device automatically intervenes by
braking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
It is advisable to turn the device off in
the following cases:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow,
heavy traffic and in complex driving
situations (e.g. on motorways with
roadworks in progress);
driving near a bend (winding roads),
icy, snowy, slippery roads or with steep
climbs and descents;
entering a turn lane or on a slip road;
towing a trailer;
when circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.There are two operating modes:
“Adaptive Cruise Control” mode
to hold an appropriate distance
between vehicles (a dedicated message
is shown on the instrument panel
display);
electronic “Cruise Control” mode
to hold the vehicle at a constant
preset speed.
To change the operation mode, use the
button on the steering wheel (see that
described on the following pages).
The "electronic Cruise Control" does
not vary the speed according to the
presence or not of vehicles ahead.
Always adjust the speed according to
traffic conditions.

in mph) by pressing the accelerator
pedal. In this situation, the device does
not turn off automatically, but the
device’s functions are limited: it is
therefore recommended to turn it off.
CHANGING 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 subsequent
touch of the button will increase the
speed by 1 km/h (or the equivalent
in mph).
Hold the SET + button down, the set
speed will increase in 10 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 down.
Press the SET – button once, the set
speed will decrease by 1 km/h (or the
equivalent in mph). Each subsequent
touch of the button will reduce the
speed by 1 km/h (or the equivalent
in mph).Hold the SET – button down, the set
speed will decrease in 10 km/h steps
(or the equivalent in mph) until the
button is released. The set speed
decrease is shown on the display.
IMPORTANT NOTES
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, press SET + (or SET–)tosetthe
speed to the current speed of the
vehicle.
When the SET – button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed.
The device holds the set speed uphill
and downhill; however a slight variation
is entirely normal, particularly on slight
gradients.
Gears can be shifted during operation
of the device to allow to select the gear
suited to the set speed and keep the
device set. The device is cancelled
when you press and hold the clutch
pedal down or putting the gear lever in
the neutral position for more than a
certain time limit.
The device is switched off while driving
if the brakes overheat.
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 (of the right indicator for
right-hand drive versions).
In left-hand traffic, the overtaking assist
function is only active when the
left-hand lane is used for overtaking the
vehicle ahead (the opposite activation
logic is used in right-hand traffic
countries).
The device detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
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 left-hand side until it determines
that the vehicle has returned to
left-hand traffic conditions.

RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
(Resume) 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, press the RES (Resume) button
and then release it.
IMPORTANT The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions could
cause an acceleration or a deceleration
of the vehicle. Failure to comply with
these precautions may cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN VEHICLES
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long), 4
bars (maximum) (see fig. 90 ).The distances from the vehicle ahead
are proportional to speed. The interval
of time with respect to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies
from 1 second (for the short distance
1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the
maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the
display with a symbol in the “Driver
Assist” area.
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance
has been modified by the driver, thenew distance will be stored also after
the system is deactivated and
reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the
button to
decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the
same lane, it will be shown on the
display in the “Driver Assist” area. The
device will automatically adjust the car’s
speed to maintain the set distance,
independently of the set speed.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Adaptive
Cruise Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
the Adaptive Cruise Control device is
deactivated/cancelled.

Programming a route
WARNING In the interest of safety and
to reduce distractions while you are
driving, you should always plan a route
before you start driving.
Using the destination search function, it
is possible to find and reach your
destinations in different ways: searching
for a specific address, a partial address,
a specific type of location (for example
a service station or a restaurant), a
postal code, a POI (Point Of Interest)
near your current position (for example,
a restaurant with the search type set to
"nearby"), a pair of latitude and
longitude coordinates, or by selecting a
point on the map.
Select “Search” in the Main menu and
set the search for a destination.
While entering the information, the list
displays the corresponding addresses
and POIs in two separate lists. The
corresponding address and city are
displayed in the Address list and the
POI, the type of POIs and the locations
are displayed in the Point of Interest
lists.
To plan a route towards the destination,
select the “Guide” button.
A route is planned and you are guided
to your destination, using spoken
instructions and on-screen directions.VOICE COMMANDS
