The device enhances driving comfort
when on the motorway or out of town
with light traffic.
The use of the device is therefore not
advantageous on busy roads or in
town.
WARNINGS
If the sensor does not detect any
vehicle ahead, the device will maintain
a fixed set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
the device automatically intervenes
by braking (or accelerating) slightly in
order not to exceed the original set
speed, so that the vehicle keeps the
preset distance, seeking to adapt to
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
It is advisable to turn the device off in
the following cases:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow,
heavy traffic and in complex driving
situations (e.g. on motorways with
roadworks in progress);
driving near a bend (winding roads),
icy, snowy, slippery roads or with steep
slopes and descents;
entering a turn lane or on a slip road;
towing a trailer;
when circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.
With “Adaptive Cruise Control”
mode engaged, an adequate distance
between vehicles is maintained (the
message “Adaptive Cruise Control” is
shown on the instrument panel display);
To change the operating mode, use the
button on the steering wheel (see that
described on the following pages).
