“Drive Away Inhibit” strategy In order to avoid a dangerous
condition resulting from leaving the
vehicle “not braked” with running
engine and without driver on board, “Drive Away Inhibit” strategy alerts
the driver with messages on the
instrument cluster display and
sounding chimes, then puts the
transmission in P (Park). The table shows the vehicle condition
and the action that the system runs to
exit the dangerous condition.
Vehicle condition Action of the driver
The system puts the
transmission in P
(Park) position.• Engine running and speed lower than
1.8 mph (3 km/h).
• Transmission in any position other P
(Park).
• Driver safety belt unlocked.
• Driver door opened.
• Brake pedal pressed. The driver releases the brake pedal to
get out of the vehicle.
Warnings Warnings
• Slow continuous chime.
• The condition of the vehicle not in P
(Park) position will be signaled by a
message on the display. • Fast chime.
• A message which invites to engage
the parking brake to prevent vehicle
movement will be displayed on the
display.Driving

• When driver door is open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled.
• When the road is particularly steep
(both uphill and downhill) at low
speed.
• When ride height is "Off Road 1" or
“Off Road 2”, or drive mode is "OFF
ROAD".
• When drive mode
(ESC OFF) is
selected.
• When the door is opened at low
speed.
• When there has been an ESC event
in the last 5 seconds, or is still active.
• When there is an object too close in
front of the vehicle.
It is possible that more than one
system is active at the same time such
as ACC and ABSA just to mention
some.
While activation of ACC and CC at the
same time is impossible.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)

accelerator pedal (see “ACC
Operation Before and During Stop”
in this chapter).
• The ACC system maintains set speed
when driving up hill and down hill.
However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition,
downshifting may occur while
climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set speed.
When driving uphill and downhill,
the ACC system will cancel if the
braking temperature exceeds normal
range.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the multifunction control (CANC), or
normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
the ACC without erasing the set speed
memory. The
white light will appear
on the display with below the set
speed.
Conditions for Disabling and
Deactivation Besides the cases specified in the
previous paragraph, the following
conditions will disable the system:
• Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) kicks in. • Transmission lever is not in D (Drive).
• “CORSA” drive mode (TROFEO
version only) is set.
• Ride height is set to “Off Road 1” or
“Off Road 2”.
• The Electronic Stability Control and
the Traction Control System
(ESC/TCS) activate.
• Vehicle parking brake is operated.
• The driver safety belt is unbuckled at
low speed.
• The driver door is ajar at low speed.
• The driver disabled the ESC using the
(ESC OFF) button on central
console.
• The road is too steep both uphill and
downhill at low speed.
The system is deactivated and set
speed is deleted from system memory,
if the ACC ON/OFF button is pressed or
if ignition device is turned to OFF .
Resuming Speed 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 a too high or too
low speed for current traffic and road
conditions could cause a harsh vehicle
acceleration or deceleration which
could increase the risk of collisions
and death or serious injury.
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).Driving

NOTE:
The displayed warning is a warning
for the driver to take action and does
not necessarily mean that the Forward
Collision Warning (FCW) system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid When driving with ACC engaged and
following a target vehicle, the system
will provide an additional acceleration
to assist in passing vehicles in front.
This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal to start overtaking. In
locations with left hand drive traffic,
overtake aid is active only when
passing on the left hand side of the
target vehicle.
When a vehicle goes from a location
with left hand drive traffic to a
location with right hand drive traffic,
the ACC system will automatically
detect traffic direction. In this
condition, overtake aid is active only
when passing on the right side of the
target vehicle. This additional
acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilizes the right turn signal to
start overtaking. In this condition the
ACC system will no longer provide
overtake aid on the left side until it determines that the vehicle has moved
back to a location with left hand
drive.
ACC Operation Before and
During Stop If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two or
three seconds the system will not be
able to resume driving the car
autonomously. In this condition, TFT
displays an instruction message pop
up for 5 seconds.
When the ACC system brings the
vehicle to a standstill while following
a target vehicle, the brakes are
released after two or three seconds
after the stop and at the same time
the system inserts the parking brake.
When parking brake engages the ACC
deactivates going to ready state.
At this point the driver must reengage
the system acting on the multifunction
control (RES + or SET -) or alternatively
on the accelerator pedal. While ACC
with Stop is holding your vehicle at a
standstill, if the driver unbuckles the
seatbelt or opens the door, the ESC
system will activate the EPB. During
standstill, ACC system monitors the
occupant detection signals: if the
driver's seatbelt becomes unbuckled, the ACC system shall be cancelled
when the EPB is applied.
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.
• During the automatic stopping
behind a vehicle in some rare cases
it may happen that the system does
not recognize the rearmost point of
the vehicle ahead but a target under
the vehicle ahead (e.g. the back axis
of a truck with a high loading edge
or a bumper of a vehicle although
overhanging load is hanging over
the vehicle’s rear). In these cases the
system cannot guarantee the
appropriate stopping distance
leading to collision in the worst
case. For this reason the driver has
to be attentive and ready to brake
during automatic stops.Driving

• Press the HAS enable button on
the steering wheel.
• Begin steering manually.
• Press brake pedal.
• Turn off ACC.
• Unbuckle the driver’s seat belt.
• Press ACC Gap button for two
seconds to enable CC system.
• Shift out of the (D) Drive gear.
• Enter an Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) event (See chapter
"Forward Collision Warning - FCW"
in this section).
• Turn signal activated.
System Cancellation The HAS system will cancel (without
driver intervention) if either of the
following actions occur:
• Curve that is too tight.
• When leaving the grip of the hands
on the steering wheel.
• Vehicle exits the highway or limited
access freeway.
• Lane line markers aren’t detected by
the forward facing camera.
• Any ADAS system faults.
• ACC cancellation.
• Vehicle speed exceeds the maximum
limit. • Lateral accelerations exceeds the
limits.
NOTE:
• When HAS cancels, the
symbol
will turn red then grey.
• The presence of the hands on the
steering wheel is detected by a logic
combination of a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and
the measured applied torque at the
steering column. This leads to a more
robust hands detection.
System Limitations HAS is unable to guide the vehicle
when the following conditions occur.
• Lane markings are not clear or
visibility is poor (i.e. heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.).
• Obstructed, covered or damaged
forward-facing camera or sensor.
• When driving on hills or sharp curves.
• When approaching toll booths.
• When the highway entrance or exit is
wider than 20 ft (6 meters).
• Bright light (ex. direct sunlight or
glare) facing the forward camera. WARNING!
Many unforeseen conditions can occur
that can affect the performance of
Highway Assist (HAS). Always keep
this in mind and drive attentively. It is
the drivers responsibility to keep
control of the vehicle at all times.

from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below.
• Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention. • Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.
Some advices for driving in the rain
are listed below. • Reduce your speed and keep a
greater safety distance from the
vehicles in front of you. High speed
may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
• When driving on wet or slushy roads,
it is possible for a wedge of water to
build up between the tire and road
surface. This is known as
aquaplaning and may cause partial
or complete loss of vehicle control
and stopping ability. To reduce this
possibility: slow down if the road has
standing water or puddles.
• Heavy rain substantially reduces
visibility. In these circumstances, even
during the day, turn on the low
beams, to be more visible to other
drivers.
• Set the air conditioning and heating
system controls on the defogging
function, in order to avoid any
visibility problem.
• Periodically check the conditions of
the windshield wiper blades.
• In low grip conditions use “I.C.E.”
driving mode (see chapters “Drive
Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this
section).
• Avoid driving with ESC OFF as this
will likely cause a loss of control of
the vehicle.Driving
