("metric" or "imperial") set on the Connect
system (see dedicated supplement).
Important notes
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the car can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, use the SET switch to set the speed
to the vehicle’s current speed.
When the SET button is pressed 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. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
gradients.
The automatic transmission could change
to a lower gears when driving downhill or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The device is switched off while driving if
the brakes overheat.
ACCELERATING WHEN OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active and
following a vehicle, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking, when travelling over a given
speed and switches on the left direction
indicator (of the right indicator for
right-hand drive versions).
In left-hand traffic, the overtaking assist
function is only active when the left-hand
lane is used for overtaking the vehicle
ahead (the opposite activation logic is
used in right-hand traffic countries).
The device detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is activated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator.
In this condition, the device no longer
provides the overtaking assist function
on the left-hand side until it determines
that the vehicle has returned to left-hand
traffic conditions.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled but
not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
button and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
IMPORTANT The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions could
cause an acceleration or a deceleration of
the vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious accidents
and fatal injuries.
SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN
VEHICLES
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 176.
The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed.
