CHANGING SPEED
Increasing speed
Once the ACC system has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by pressing SET +/-
buttons. Keeping the buttons pressed,
the set speed will increase until the lever
is released, then the new speed will be
stored.
The driver's preferred units can be
selected through the instrument panel
display. For more information, refer to
the “Display” chapter in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” section.
Press the SET +/- button once : the
set speed will increase/decrease by
1 km/h (or by 1 mph when the unit
of measurement is set to mph). Each
subsequent press of the button will
increase/reduce the speed by 1 km/h (or
by 1 mph when the measurement unit is
set to mph).
Hold the SET +/
–
button pressed : the set
speed will increase/decrease in 5 km/h
steps (or in 5 mph steps when the unit
of measurement is set to mph) until
the button is released. The set speed
increase/decrease is shown on the
display.
NOTES:
When you override and push the SET
+ button or SET - button, the new Set
Speed will be the current speed of the
vehicle.
When the SET - button is used to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the car down
sufficiently to reach the set speed.
If equipped with a manual
transmission, the ACC system applies the
brake down to 24 km/h when following a
reference car
If the car is equipped with a dual
clutch automatic transmission, the ACC
system decelerates the vehicle to a full
stop when following a reference vehicle.
