STARTING AND DRIVING
202
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur.
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect
to a vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
MINIMUM RISK
MANOEUVRE
If you remove your hands from the
steering wheel, a countdown will begin
which will result in the activation of
visual and audible alerts (see the
description provided in the "Co-Driver
with Stop&Go - Traffic Jam Assist"
chapter in this section). Furthermore,
the system will initiate a minimum risk
manoeuvre to bring the vehicle to
safety if no hands are detected.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system
will braking slightly 23 seconds after
your hands have been removed from
the steering wheel to warn you and
encourage you to regain control of the
vehicle.
If the driver does not regain control of
the vehicle after a further 3 seconds,
the system will brake again lightly.
Subsequently, the system will
automatically braking to bring the
vehicle to a stop if you still do not put
your hands back on the steering wheel
persists.
The hazard warning lights will be
activated as soon as the system
activates the automatic braking. When
the vehicle is at a standstill, the system
will unlock the doors (if previously
locked) and keep the hazard lights on.
If you regain control of the vehicle
during the minimum risk manoeuvre,
placing your hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator
pedal will cause the system to behave
normally and the minimum risk
manoeuvre will be aborted.
SYSTEM LIMITED
OPERATION WARNING
If the dedicated message is shown
on the display, a condition limiting the
system operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitation
are something blocking the camera
view or a fault.
In case of camera blinding (e.g. caused
by low sun in front of the windscreen),
wait until the light and glare conditions
cease and allow the system to operate
fully.
If an obstruction is signalled, clean the
area of the windscreen indicated in
fig. 236 and check that the message
has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the
system functions end, this will go back
to normal and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING
The system may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Vehicle not aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which
is not aligned along the same direction
of travel or a vehicle which is cutting
in from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving direction causing
the vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and curves
On bends fig. 241 with the system set,
it could limit speed and acceleration to
vehicle stability even if no vehicles are
detected ahead.
When leaving the bend, the system
resets the previously set speed.
