The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
Once the shortest distance has been
reached, a further press of the button
will set the longest distance. The set
speed is held if there are no cars
ahead.
If a vehicle is detected ahead in the
same lane, travelling at slower speed,
page fig. 141 and icon
will appears
on the display (where provided). The
system will automatically adjust the
car speed to hold the distance setting
regardless of the set speed.
The car holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane
or the detection field of the Adaptive
Cruise Control system sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
the Adaptive Cruise Control System
is deactivated or switched off;
If the driver does not press the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING The maximum braking force
applied by the system is limited. The
driver may always apply the brakes, if
needed.
WARNING If the system predicts
that the braking level is insufficient to
maintain the set distance, it signals
the driver to pay attention when
approaching the vehicle ahead by
displaying an alert message on the
display. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING The driver is responsible for
ensuring that there are no pedestrians,
other cars or objectives along the
direction of the car. Failure to comply
with these precautions may cause
serious accidents and injuries.
WARNING The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION
166)
The Adaptive Cruise Control system,
when traffic conditions permit, allows
additional acceleration to be given to
the vehicle to facilitate overtaking by
simply activating the direction indicator.
This additional acceleration is provided
as long as the distance to the vehicle to
be overtaken is guaranteed.
Once acceleration is perceived, the
driver must make sure that the traffic
and cars coming from behind allow
it, and to make the lane change
manoeuvre. Once the trajectory is clear
of vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Control will
regain control of the selected speed,
or reduce it to maintain the desired
distance from the vehicle ahead.
NOTE The overtaking aid function
is only available on the side where
overtaking is permitted according to
the highway code (left in countries
with traffic on the right side of the
carriageway, right in countries with
traffic on the left side).
SPEED REDUCTION ON BENDS
The Adaptive Cruise Control system
CAN decelerate slightly on bends to
improve vehicle stability and comfort.
The functionality can be a valid help in
roundabouts or with gradual bends,
faced with increasing curvature; it
cannot compensate for sudden
steering or in general medium/high
lateral accelerations.
However, the driver is responsible,
depending on the traffic scenario, to
apply the brake, where necessary, to
further reduce the speed of the vehicle,
