RADAR CRUISE
CONTROL (RCC)
(where provided)
GENERAL
The Radar Cruise Control (RCC)
assists the driver by monitoring both
the cruise speed and the distance of
the vehicle ahead along the running
path: it allows to drive your car at
the required speed, without pressing
the accelerator pedal.
The system reduces fatigue when
driving on motorways, especially
during long journeys, since the
stored speed is maintained automat-
ically; moreover, the system con-
tributes to keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead. Constant
speed driving also allows to cut
down fuel consumption and makes
traffic smoother.
The Radar Cruise
Control is not an “auto-
matic pilot” but a driver-
assisting device; therefore, only
the driver is responsible for
his/her driving behaviour and
must comply with the highway
code regulations in force, as well
as with any other provision con-
cerning road traffic.
This system detects just
moving vehicles and
ignores whatever immo-
bile object.
The Radar Cruise
Control is not an anti-col-
lision device: it cannot
detect the presence of obstacles
on the road or stop the car in case
of danger. Any action performed
by the driver on the brake or
accelerator pedals takes priority
over the cruise control system; for
this reason, the responsibility for
road safety always rests with the
driver.
The system is electronically con-
trolled, self-contained and, there-
fore, does not require communica-
tion with other vehicles or the pres-
ence of similar systems on the other
vehicles.
The system cannot actu-
ate emergency braking:
the maximum decelera-
tion automatically performed by
the system is limited compared to
the actual braking power of the
brake system; therefore, emer-
gency braking can and must be
performed only by the driver.
