CRUISE CONTROL
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a
constant preset speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the
vehicle speed up to the preset speed to
maintain a distance with the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always
be aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at
a time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise
Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will
be unavailable, and vice versa.

CRUISE CONTROL
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.
To Activate
To activate the Cruise Control system, push the
on/off button located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled by the
white warning light illuminating in the instrument
cluster display.
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.
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 accelerator 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 goes back to the previously 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.
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.
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.

When the system is enabled and ready to
operate, the display shows the white ACC icon
above dashes in place of the speed.Enabled Icons
Setting a speed activates the system. The display
shows the icon in green with the set speed.
To Pause/Deactivate
With the feature enabled (speed not set), push
the on/off button to disable.
With the feature active (speed set), push the
on/off button to pause. The display will show the
icon in white with the speed in brackets. To
deactivate the feature, push the on/off button a
second time.To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push the RES/SET switch downward and release
it to activate the system. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically.
SET Switch
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.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
Once the system has been activated, you can
increase the speed by pushing the RES/SET
switch upward or decrease the speed by pushing
the RES/SET switch downward. Each time the
switch is pushed, the speed is adjusted by 1 mph. Pushing and holding the switch upward or
downward will cause the set speed to adjust in
5 mph increments until the button is released.
The new set speed is reflected in the instrument
cluster display.

NOTE:

Moving the RES/SET switch downward allows
you to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement (U.S. or Metric)
set on the radio system. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual for more information.
When the unit of measurement is set to Metric,
pushing and holding the RES/SET switch will
adjust the speed in 10 km/h increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal pressed, the
vehicle can continue to accelerate beyond the
set speed. In this case, use the RES/SET
switch to set the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the RES/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 shift 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.
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.

(Continued)
To Resume
Once the system has been canceled but not
deactivated, to resume a previously set speed,
simply push the RES/SET switch upward and
remove your foot from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored speed.
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).Distance Icons The distances from the vehicle ahead are propor
-
tional 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 bars (maximum) the first time
the system is used. After the distance has been
modified by the driver, the new distance will be
stored even if 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.
Distance Button
The 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 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.
WARNING!
The maximum braking 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
objects along the direction of the vehicle.
Failure to comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and injuries.

Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following a
vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph
(70 km/h), 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.
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.
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following the vehicle
in front, if the vehicle in front starts moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion without
the need for any driver action.If the vehicle in front does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will have to push the RES/
SET switch upward to restart.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set speed is
canceled if:
The on/off button is pushed (when the system
is on or paused)
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
RACE mode is activated (Quadrifoglio models)
The system is canceled (the set speed and
distance are stored):
When the system is paused
Ú
page 106
When the conditions shown in the “Activating
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” section occur

Ú
page 106
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 rearview mirror, where the camera is located, as well as the area of the front fascia/
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 With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake
late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene. The following
are examples of these types of situations:
Towing A Trailer
Towing a trailer is not recommended when using
ACC.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line
of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or
accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the
system may increase or decrease the vehicle
speed for stability, with no vehicle ahead
detected. Once the vehicle is out of the curve, the
system will resume your original set speed. This is
a part of normal ACC system functionality.

NOTE:
On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.
The driver is fully responsible for holding a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead
respecting the highway code in force in the
respective country.
WARNING!
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.
