SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
18 mph (30mk/h).
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system.
Activating the device
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Safety", “Speed
Limiter” and “on”.
The activation of the device is signaled
by the displaying of the green symbol
along with the last speed set. The
Speed Limiter function can remain
active concurrently with the Cruise
Control system. If a speed limit below
the one indicated in the Cruise Control
is selected, the Cruise Control speed
will be lowered to that of the Speed
Limiter. This function remains available
in RACE mode.
SPEED LIMIT
PROGRAMMING
The speed limit can be programmed on
the Connect system.
To access the function, on the main

STARTING AND OPERATING

ELECTRONIC SPEED
CONTROL
Electronic Speed
Control Description
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal. This feature can be
used at a speed above 25 mph
(40 km/h) on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations
(highways).
Note:
It is not recommended to use this
feature in city traffic.
The speed control buttons are located
on the left side of the steering wheel.
Note:To ensure correct operation, the
speed control is designed to deactivate
if more than one function is operated
simultaneously. In this case, the system
can be reactivated by pushing the
on/off button
and setting the
desired speed.
While driving downhill, the system could
brake the vehicle to keep the set speed
the same.
Warning!
Speed Control can be dangerous where
the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Activating
To activate the Electronic Speed
Control System, push the on/off button
location on the left side of the steering
wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled
by the white warning light
switching
on the instrument cluster. The Electronic Speed Control function
can remain active at the same time as
the Speed Limiter System. If a speed
limit below the one indicated in the set
speed control, the speed control speed
will be lowered to that of the Speed
Limiter.
This function remains available in RACE
mode.
Note:
The system cannot be engaged
in FIRST or REVERSE gear. It is
advisable to engage it in THIRD gear or
higher if using the Autostick feature.
Warning!
Leaving the Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system OFF when you are not using it.
Setting The Desired
Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the Electronic Speed Control
on.
GUID-07146S0001EMElectronic Speed Control On/Off Switch
153

By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
five mph until the button is released.
Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you
to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Connect system
(see dedicated supplement).
When the unit of measurement is
set to metric, holding the SET switch
the speed will change in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, use the SET switch to set
the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the SET button 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
inclines.
The transmission could change to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat.
Accelerating When
Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing
the vehicle. This additional acceleration
is triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal and will only be active
when passing on the left hand side.
The system 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 deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled
but not deactivated, to resume a
previously set speed, simply push the
RES 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, then push the RES button and
release it.
Warning!
The Resume function should only be used
if traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or
too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to
accelerate or decelerate too sharply for
safe operation. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.

PARKSENSE
SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Vehicles With Rear
Sensors Only
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper, detect obstacles while the
vehicle is in REVERSE. When an
obstacle is detected, an acoustic alert
will sound and, if equipped, visual
indications will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the
ParkSense switch located to the left of
the headlight switch. The indicator light
within the switch will light up when the
system is turned off. Pushing the switch
a second time will turn the system back
on, and the indicator light will turn off.The indicator light within the ParkSense
switch will also be on in case of system
failure. If the switch is pushed with a
system failure, the indicator light will
flash for approximately five seconds.
The light will then stay on constantly.
System Activation/Deactivation
The system, when engaged, is
automatically activated by engaging the
REVERSE gear. It is deactivated by
engaging another gear.
Acoustic Signal
When REVERSE is engaged and there
is an obstacle behind the vehicle, an
acoustic signal with variable frequency
will sound.
The acoustic signal increases in
frequency as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes
continuous when the distance between
GUID-07176S0001EMRear Sensor Location
GUID-07176S0052EMParkSense System On/Off Switch
162
STARTING AND OPERATING

the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
11 inches (30 cm), and stops if the
distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
Note: If several obstacles are detected
by the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of
warning they would like to be displayed
through the Connect system. To access
the function on the main menu, select in
the following order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver Assistance”
3. “ParkSense”
4. “Mode”
5. “Sound-Display”
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
the detected area, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position
of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the rear
central area, a single arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal. If the obstacle is detected in the rear left
and/or right area, a single flashing arc
will be shown in the corresponding area
on the display and the system will emit
an acoustic signal, either at frequent
intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single flashing arc is
shown on the display and the acoustic
signal becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area, the
display will show all of them, regardless
of the area in which they were detected.
The color on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad,
however, the acoustic alert will remain
active.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when REVERSE is engaged
by a message on the instrument cluster
display. Refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further
information.
Messages On The Display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
cluster for about 5 seconds.
Cleaning The Front Sensors
:Ifthe
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside
of the rear bumper is free of debris
(e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these
areas are clear, place the ignition in
STOP mode. Then, return it to ON
mode. If the message is still displayed,
contact an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available :Ifthe
display shows a message that the
audio system is not available, it means
that the acoustic signal will be emitted
by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the ParkSense
system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could
be due to the presence of ice, snow,
mud, or thick paint on the surface of
the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
163

System performance can be
influenced by the position of the
sensors. For example, due to a change
in the ride setting (caused by wear to
the shock absorbers or suspension),
by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper
stickers or other adhesives over the
sensors as this will affect system
performance.
Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Parking Sensor
system. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
Caution!
The Parking Sensor system is only a
parking aid and it is unable to recognize
every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the Parking Sensor system in order
to be able to stop in time when an obstacle
is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the Parking Sensor system.
Vehicles With Front And
Rear Sensors
The parking sensors, located in the
front and rear bumpers, detect the
presence of any obstacles and warn
the driver through an acoustic signal
and, if equipped, visual indications will
be displayed on the instrument cluster.

STARTING AND OPERATING

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system
uses a forward looking camera located
on the windshield to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over
one without the an activated turn signal,
the system emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.
