Driving
Operating limits
The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Not detected by the radar:
- Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.
- Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).
- Vehicles crossing the road lanes.
- Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
- Vehicles in a bend.
- When approaching a roundabout.
- When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions
permit.
Cases where the driver is prompted to take
control back immediately:
- Excessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle in front of you.
- When a vehicle sharply cuts in between
your vehicle and the one in front.
The system must not be activated:
- When the "space-saver" spare wheel is
being used (depending on version).
- When towing.
Be particularly careful:
- When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.
- When you enter a tunnel or cross a
bridge.
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
surface.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there are snowfalls, if the front bumper is
damaged, or when the brake lamps have
failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
