STARTING AND DRIVING
150
ensuring its stability in sharp bends or
descending radius.
EXTENSION OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL: CO-DRIVER
The Adaptive Cruise Control system
can work in conjunction with the
Co-Driver system (see the respective
paragraph in this chapter) to offer
"Autonomous Level 2 Assistance".
The Co-Driver will be able to maintain
constant speed and distance,
adaptable to the cars in front, and keep
the car in the middle of the lane.
NOTE The system is an aid for
the driver, who must always pay
full attention while driving. The
responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver is always
required to pay attention to the road
and keep his hands on the steering
wheel.
DEACTIVATION
The system is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the button (A) fig. 138 is pressed on
the Adaptive Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the starting system switch is in the
STOP position;
the system is deactivated:
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the car reaches a stop behind
a stopped vehicle.
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.
NOTE The system always remembers
the last distance desired and selected
by the user. The system keeps the
speed stored until you deactivate the
system by pressing the (A) fig. 138
Adaptive Cruise Control button or
turning the car off.
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. 151 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 car 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 car to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and curves
On bends fig. 142 with the system set,
it could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee car stability even if no cars
are detected ahead.
