vehicle ahead remains constant and
varies from 1 second (for the short
distance 1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for
the maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the display
by a dedicated icon.
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device 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
Press and release the fig. 177 button to
decrease the distance setting. The
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
If a slower car is detected in the same
lane, the car icon on the display turns
from grey to white. The device
automatically adjusts the car’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 Active Cruise
Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
the Active Cruise Control device is
deactivated/paused.
IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all cases if
needed.
IMPORTANT If the device 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 advisable to brake
immediately as necessary to hold a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
IMPORTANT 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.
IMPORTANT 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” STRATEGY
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the car has
completely stopped. It will also restart
the car automatically if the vehicle ahead
moves off within two seconds, otherwise
it is necessary to press the accelerator
pedal or the RES button to restart.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
if the button on the Active Cruise
Control is pressed (with the device
enabled or paused);
the ignition device is in the STOP
position;
RACE mode is activated.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the device is paused (see the
“Activating / Deactivating Active Cruise
Control” paragraph);
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
