in case of radar sensor obstruction: in
this case, clean the sensor. Use a clean
cloth for cleaning. Do not use solvents
or abrasive paste. In case of system set,
the conditions described above also
cause a cancellation or deactivation of
the system with times that may vary
according to the conditions
WARNING The device is not deactivated
when speeds higher than those set are
reached with the accelerator pedal
pressed. In these conditions, the device
may not work correctly and it is advisable
to deactivate it.
INCREASING/DECREASING OF SPEED
After having set the system, the stored
speed can be increased or decreased
by holding the SET + and SET - buttons
pressed.
By turning the ring (3) ring towards SET
+ or SET - (first position of the ring) for a
very short time, the set speed increases
or decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph). Each
turn of the ring will increase or decrease
the speed by 1 km/h (1 mph). By keeping
the ring in the SET + or SET - position,
the set speed increases or decreases in
proportion to the time the stalk is held in
that position.
By turning the ring (3) ring towards SET
++ or SET -- (second position of the ring)
for a very short time, the set speed
increases or decreases by 10 km/h (10
mph). Each turn of the ring will increase
or decrease the speed by 10 km/h (10
mph). By keeping the ring in the SET ++ or
SET -- position, the set speed increases
or decreases in proportion to the time
the lever is held in that position.
The set speed increase or decrease is
shown on the display.
WARNINGS
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the car can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, turn the ring towards SET + (or
SET – ) button to set the speed to the
current speed of the car. By turning the
ring to the SET++ or SET -­, the speed will
be rounded to a larger multiple of the
current speed of the car
when the SET – button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the exhaust
brake does not slow the car down
sufficiently to reach the set speed
the system holds the set speed uphill
and downhill; however a slight variation
is entirely normal, particularly on steep
gradients
the device is switched off while driving
if the brakes overheat
SPEED VARIATION WITH ROAD SIGN
(INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL)
The "Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control"
system can be used to set a speed
limit equal to that indicated on the
road sign detected by the “Traffic Sign
Information” system (see the respective
paragraph in this section).
If the driver has selected the
confirmation capture option on the Alfa
Connect system settings, when a new
speed limit is recognised, the Traffic Sign
Recognition system will suggest the new
limit using a message on the instrument
panel display. The driver can accept the
new limit by turning the ring (3) (SET
+) upwards within the first 5 seconds
after the message appears. In this way,
the suggested speed will be set on the
Adaptive Cruise Control.
If the driver has selected the automatic
capture option on the Alfa Connect
system settings, on recognition of a new
road sign, the Traffic Sign Recognition
system will automatically set the speed
of the newly detected limit on the
Adaptive Cruise Control. The driver can
override the speed setting by turning the
ring (3) (SET +) upwards within the first 5
seconds after the speed limit has been
detected.
The activation of the Intelligent Adaptive
Cruise Control is indicated by the
