SPEED LIMITER
Description
This feature allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to speeds, which can
be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set with the
vehicle stationary or in motion. The
minimum speed that can be set is 18 mph
(30mk/h).
When this feature is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressing of the
accelerator pedal until the programmed
speed limit is reached (see "Speed Limit
Programming" paragraph).
Activation
The feature can be activated/
deactivated through the Information
and Entertainment System.
Activating The Device
To access this feature on the main menu,
select the following items in sequence:

The activation of this feature is signaled
by the displaying of the green symbol
along with the last speed set. The Speed
Limiter feature can remain active
concurrently with the Speed Control
system. If a speed limit below the one
indicated in the Speed Control is
selected, the Speed 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
through the Information and
Entertainment System.
To access the function on the main menu,
select the following items in sequence:
"Settings", "Safety" and "Speed Limiter
Set Speed".
By turning the Rotary Pad, the speed

SPEED CONTROL
(CRUISE CONTROL)
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).
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.
It is not recommended to use this
feature in city traffic.
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 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
illuminating
on the instrument cluster.

When the system is enabled and ready to
operate, the display shows the white icon
above dashes in place of the speed.
Setting a speed activates the system.
The display shows the icon in green with
the set speed.
Note:The system cannot be enabled
when RACE mode is active.
Warning!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
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 a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
Pausing/Deactivating
With the feature enabled (speed not set),
push the
button to disable.
With the feature active (speed set), push
the
button to pause. The display will
show the icon in white with the speed in
brackets. To deactivate the feature, push
the
button a second time.
Setting The Desired Speed
The speed can be set from a minimum of
20 mph (30 km/h) to a maximum of
110 mph (180 km/h).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, push the SET switch upward or
downward and release it to activate the
system. When the accelerator is released,
the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically. While the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the system will not be able to control the
distance between the vehicle and the one
ahead. In this case, the speed will be
determined only by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The system will return to normal
operation as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released.
The system
cannotbe set:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the electric park brake has been
operated.
When either PARK (P), REVERSE (R) or
NEUTRAL (N) is engaged.
When the engine rpm is above a
maximum threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within
the operational speed range.

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.
Setting The Distance Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to one bar
(short), two bars (medium), three bars
(long), or four bars (maximum).
The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed.
The interval of time with relation to the
vehicle ahead remains constant and
varies from one second (for the short
distance one-bar setting) to two seconds
(for the maximum distance four-bar
setting).
The set distance is shown on the display
by a dedicated icon.
The setting is four (maximum) the first
time the system is used. After the
distance has been modified by the driver,
the new distance will be stored also after
the system is deactivated and
reactivated.To Decrease The Distance
Push and release the distance button to
decrease the distance setting. The
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter) every time the button is pushed.
T
he set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest distance
has been selected, the next push of the
button will set the maximum distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the vehicle icon on the display
illuminates from grey to white. The
system automatically adjusts the
vehicle’s speed to keep 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 system sensor.

The distance setting is changed.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system is
deactivated/paused.
Warning!
The maximum breaking applied by the
system is limited. The driver may apply the
brakes in all cases if needed.
If the system predicts that the braking
level is insufficient to hold the set distance,
either “BRAKE!” or a dedicated message is
displayed to warn the driver of approaching
the vehicle ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advised 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.
“Stop And Go” Function
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the vehicle
has completely stopped. It will also
restart the vehicle automatically if the vehicle ahead drives away within two
seconds, otherwise it is necessary to
press the accelerator pedal or push the
RES button to restart.
Warning!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set
speed is canceled if:
Thebutton on the Adaptive Cruise
Control is pushed (with the system
enabled or paused).
The ignition is cycled to STOP.
RACE mode is activated.
The system is canceled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
When the system is paused (refer to
the “Activation / Deactivation” section).
When the conditions shown in the
“Setting The Desired Speed” section
occur.
Limited Operation Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the Adaptive
Cruise Control operation may have
occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle’s sensor or camera. It could also
be due to a fault in the system. If an
obstruction is detected, clean the area of
the windshield opposite the interior rear
view mirror, where the camera is located,
as well as the area of the front bumper
where the sensor is located. Then check
that the message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, normal operation will
resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an
authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving
The system may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below).
The driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Vehicle Not Aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle
traveling in the same lane, in the same
direction, but is not aligned. It also may
not detect a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the Park
Sensors System switch located to the
left of the headlight switch. The indicator
light within the switch will illuminate
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 Park
Sensors System 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.
Note:When the ignition is cycled to ON,
the Park Sensors system keeps the last
state when the engine was stopped
(activated or deactivated) in its memory. System Activation/Deactivation
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and
the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If the vehicle
moves from REVERSE to a forward gear,
the rear sensors are deactivated, while
the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.
Note:
In certain operating conditions, the
system could start detecting an obstacle
only after the vehicle has moved slightly
(a few inches).
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the
front or the rear of 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
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 the sensors detect several front
and rear obstacles, the closest obstacle
is considered. An intermittent signal will
sound if the obstacles are at the same
distance (front and rear). When the system emits an acoustic
signal, the volume of the Information and
Entertainment System, if activated, is
automatically lowered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of warning
they would like to be displayed through
the Information and Entertainment
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 red arc in
the detected areas, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position of
the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or
rear central area, a single red 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 front or
rear left and/or right area, a single red
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.

159

If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the front and rear area,
the display will show all of them,
regardless of the area in which they were
detected.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single or several flashing
arcs are shown on the display and the
acoustic signal becomes continuous.
It is not possible to exit from the display
screen while the vehicle is in REVERSE.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated by a message on the display on
the instrument cluster. 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 five seconds.
Cleaning The Front Or Rear Sensors:
If the display shows a message requiring
the sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside of
the front and rear bumpers are free of
debris (e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once
these areas are clear, cycle the ignition to
STOP. Then, return it to ON mode. If the
message is still displayed, contact you
authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available : If the
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 Park Sensors
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.
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.
