Irregular Operation
In the event of malfunction, the Stop/Start
system is deactivated.
For further information on failure indications

Ú
page 73.
Vehicle Inactivity

In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the battery
is replaced), special attention must be paid to
the disconnection of the battery power supply.

Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to disconnect
sensor (battery status monitoring) installed on
the negative pole of the battery. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
Battery Power Supply
NOTE:

After setting the ignition to OFF and having
closed the driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the electrical
supply from the battery. When reconnecting
the electrical supply to the battery, make sure
that the ignition is in the OFF mode and the
driver side door is closed.SPEED LIMITER
Description
This feature allows the driver to program the
maximum speed of the vehicle.

NOTE:

The maximum set speed can be exceeded by
continuing to press the accelerator pedal.
The maximum speed can be set with the
vehicle stationary or in motion. The minimum
speed that can be set is 18 mph (30 km/h).
When this feature is active, the vehicle speed
depends on the pressing of the accelerator
pedal until the programmed speed limit is
reached
Ú
page 105.
Activation
The feature can be activated/deactivated
through the radio system.
Activating The Device
To access this feature, select the “Driver Assis -
tance” widget in the radio system, then select
the following items in sequence:
1. “Speed Limiter”
2. “ON”
The activation of this feature is signaled by the
illumination of the green Speed Limiter icon,
along with the last speed set, in the instru -
ment cluster display. The Speed Limiter
feature 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 func -
tion remains available in RACE mode.

Speed Limit Programming
The speed limit can be programmed through
the radio system.
To access the function on the main menu,
select the following items in sequence:
1. “Driver Assistance”
2. “Speed Limiter - Set Speed”
By turning the Rotary Pad, the speed increases
by 5 mph (8 km/h), from a minimum of
18 mph (30 km/h) to a maximum of 112 mph
(180 km/h).
Exceeding The Programmed Speed
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the
programmed speed can be exceeded even
with the device active (e.g. in the event of over-
taking).
The device is disabled until the speed drops
below the set limit, after which it reactivates
automatically.
Programmed Speed Icon Flashing
The programmed speed will flash in the
following scenarios:
When the accelerator pedal has been fully
pressed and the vehicle has exceeded the
programmed speed.
Activating the system after setting a limit
below the effective speed of the vehicle.
In the event of overtake acceleration.
Deactivation
The feature can be activated/deactivated
through the radio system.
Deactivating The Device
To access this feature, select the “Driver Assis -
tance” widget in the radio system, then select
the following items in sequence:
1. “Speed Limiter”
2. “OFF”
Automatic Deactivation Of The Device
The device deactivates automatically in the
event of fault in the system. In this case,
contact an authorized dealer.
Temporary Signal Loss
When the device loses the signal, the white
symbol without the speed indication illumi -
nates on the display.
System Failure
If there is a system failure, the amber symbol
illuminates on the display.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS
Cruise Control — If Equipped
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20 mph (32 km/h). Cruise Control On/Off Switch
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the
left side of the steering wheel.
While driving downhill, the system could brake
the vehicle to keep the set speed the same.

NOTE:

In order to ensure proper operation, the Cruise
Control system has been designed to shut
down if multiple Cruise Control functions are
operated at the same time. If this occurs, the
Cruise Control system can be reactivated by
pushing the Cruise Control on/off button and
resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
WARNING!
Cruise 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 Cruise Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
21_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 105

STARTING AND OPERATING

106

To Activate
To activate the Cruise 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
illumination of the white warning light on the
instrument cluster.Cruise Control Indicator Light
The Cruise Control function can remain active
at the same time as the Speed Limiter System.
If the set speed is higher than the speed set
with the Speed Limiter, the set speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
For Quadrifoglio vehicles, 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.
To Set A Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Cruise Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push the SET switch up or down
and release to activate. When the acceler -
ator is released, the vehicle will maintain
the selected speed automatically.
SET Switch Location If needed (when overtaking for instance), you
can accelerate beyond the set speed by
pressing the accelerator. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ
-
ously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system
active, the vehicle speed may slightly exceed
the set one.

NOTE:

Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle
must be traveling at a constant speed on a flat
surface.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can
increase the speed by pushing the SET switch
upward or decrease the speed by pushing the
SET switch downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent
movement of the switch results in an adjust -
ment of 1 mph.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise 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 ensure the
system is OFF when you are not using it.
