To Set

Precautions

When your car reaches the speed you want, press and

release either the button SET + or SET - to lock in the

speed. The display will indicate the set speed.

When the sensor doesn't detect any vehicle ahead,

the system maintains a constant set speed. However,

when the sensor detects a vehicle in front, the system

intervenes automatically by slightly applying the brakes

or accelerating as needed to prevent exceeding the

preset speed. It aims to keep the preset distance and

adjust to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

If you press the accelerator pedal, the car will

accelerate faster than the set speed. During this time,

you'll see a dedicated message on the display for a

few seconds. The system won't control the distance

between your vehicle and the one in front, and the

speed will be determined solely by the position of the

accelerator pedal.

It's advisable to deactivate the system in the following

situations:

pressing the ACC button on the steering wheel. Press

the ACC button again to set the system to "ready"

status.

The system can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill

when the vehicle in front of it slows down and stops.

The system will automatically restart the vehicle if the

vehicle comes to a stop and the vehicle in front restarts

within 2 seconds. If the vehicle in front restarts after 2

seconds, the RES button or the accelerator pedal must

be pressed to reactivate the system and restart. If the

system keeps the vehicle at a standstill for 2 minutes,

the electric parking brake will activate and the system

will be deactivated.

● By keeping the accelerator pedal depressed, the

vehicle can continue to accelerate beyond the set

speed. In this case, press the SET + or SET – button

to set the speed to the current speed of the vehicle.

● In case of a device malfunction.

● When the engine is off.

● On very steep slopes.

● When the SET – button is pressed to reduce the

speed, the braking system intervenes automatically

if the exhaust brake does not slow the car down

sufficiently to reach the set speed.

● If the radar sensor is obstructed, clean the sensor

with a clean cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive

paste. In this scenario, the system may cancel or

deactivate for a period depending on the conditions.

● The system holds the set speed uphill and downhill;

however a slight variation is entirely normal,

particularly on steep gradients.

NOTE:

The electric parking brake will be activated and the

system will be deactivated at speeds close to stopping,

if the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opens the door.

NOTE:

● The device is switched off while driving if the brakes

overheat.

The system is not deactivated when speeds higher

than those set are reached with the accelerator pedal

pressed. In these conditions, the system may not work

correctly, and it's advisable to deactivate it.

WARNING!

Speed Variation With Road Sign

(Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control)

The driver must ensure that there are no pedestrians,

vehicles or other obstacles in front of the vehicle

when the system is reactivated. Failure to comply

with this precaution may cause serious accidents and

fatal injuries.

OPERATION AT A STOP

The system has the capability to slow down the car to

a complete stop when the vehicle in front of it reduces

speed and comes to a stop. It can automatically restart

the car if it stops and the vehicle in front resumes

within 2 seconds. If the vehicle ahead restarts after 2

seconds, you will need to press the RES button or the

accelerator pedal to reactivate the system and restart.

● The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full stop

when following the vehicle in front. If your vehicle

follows the vehicle in front to a standstill, after two

seconds the driver will either have to push the RES

(resume) button, or apply the accelerator pedal to

reengage the ACC to the existing set speed.

After setting a speed, you can increase the set speed

by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease speed by

pushing the SET (-) button.

chime.

Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph (0

km/h) when ACC is active.

It is advisable to approach the previously set speed

gradually by bringing the current speed close to that

value. Then, press the RES button and release it to

engage the system at the desired speed.

If the system keeps the car at a standstill for 2 minutes,

the electric parking brake will engage, and the system

will be deactivated.

NOTE:

WARNING!

The electric parking brake will be activated, and the

system will be deactivated when the car is close to

stopping speeds if the driver unbuckles the seat belt or

opens the door.

The Resume function should only be used if traffic

and road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed

that is too high or too low for prevailing traffic and

road conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate

or decelerate too sharply for safe operation. Failure

to follow these warnings can result in a collision and

death or serious personal injury.

Distance Settings

1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars)

WARNING!

When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must

ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or

objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow

these warnings can result in a collision and death or

serious personal injury.

2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)

3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)

4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

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).

These distances are relative to the vehicle's speed.

The time interval in relation to the vehicle ahead

remains consistent, ranging from 1 second for the

short-distance 1-bar setting to 2 seconds for the

maximum-distance 4-bar setting. The selected distance

is shown on the instrument cluster display.

TO RESUME

If the system has been canceled by pressing the

brake pedal or the CANC (cancel) button, but have

not deactivated it by pressing the ACC button on the

steering wheel, the system can be recalled to the

previously set speed. To do this:

To Recall The Set Speed

● Press the RES button on the steering wheel.

● Remove foot from accelerator pedal.

The system will then be set to the last stored speed set

before canceling it.

94 STARTING AND OPERATING

● The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed higher

than the set speed.

OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION

The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic

conditions allow, permits additional acceleration for

overtaking by simply activating the direction indicator.

This extra acceleration is provided as long as it's

ensured that there is sufficient distance to overtake the

other vehicle.

● The vehicle ahead changes lanes or leaves the

detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control device

sensor.

● The distance setting is altered.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control device is deactivated or

canceled.

Once the acceleration begins, the driver should ensure

that it's safe to do so, considering the traffic and

vehicles approaching from behind. The driver can then

execute the lane change maneuver to overtake. After

the overtaking is completed and the path is clear

of vehicles, the Adaptive Cruise Control system will

resume control of the chosen speed or reduce it to

maintain the desired distance from the vehicle ahead.

CAUTION!

ACC Distance Icon

● The maximum breaking applied by the device is

limited. The driver may apply the brakes in all

cases if needed.

The system is initially set to 4 bars (maximum) the first

time it is used. After the driver adjusts the distance, the

new setting will be retained even after the system is

turned off and then reactivated.

● If the device predicts that the level of braking is

not sufficient to maintain the set distance, the

word “BRAKE!” or a dedicated message on the

instrument panel display warns the driver that the

vehicle ahead is too close. 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.

NOTE:

The overtaking aid function is available on the side

where overtaking is legally permitted according to the

traffic regulations (on the left in countries with right-

side traffic and on the right in countries with left-side

traffic).

To Decrease The distance

Press and release the Distance Increase/Decrease

button on the steering wheel to decrease the distance

setting. Each time the button is pressed, the distance

setting decreases by one bar, making it shorter.

WARNING!

When the shortest distance setting is reached, pressing

the button again will set the longest distance. The

system will maintain the set speed if there are no

vehicles ahead.

● The driver is responsible for ensuring that there

are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objectives

along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to

comply with these precautions may cause serious

accidents and injuries.

The device detects the direction of traffic

automatically when the car 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 lefthand side until it determines that

the car has returned to left-hand traffic conditions.

If a vehicle in the same lane, traveling at a slower

speed, is detected on the instrument panel, an icon

(if equipped) will appear on the display. The system will

automatically adjust your car's speed to maintain the

set distance, regardless of the set speed.

● The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe

distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the

highway code in force in the respective country.

The car will maintain the set distance until any of the

following occur:

STARTING AND OPERATING 95

remains above the minimum speed that can be set

within the system.

Offset Driving

SPEED REDUCTIONS ON BENDS

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that

is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle

merging in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may

move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause

your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

The Adaptive Cruise Control system has the capability

to make slight speed reductions during bends to

enhance vehicle stability and passenger comfort. This

feature can be especially helpful in roundabouts

or on gently curved roads where the curvature

gradually increases. However, it cannot compensate for

abrupt steering maneuvers or moderate-to-high lateral

accelerations in general.

SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION WARNING

If the dedicated message is shown on the display,

a condition limiting the system operation may have

occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are

something blocking the camera view or a fault.

In the case of camera glare (e.g., due to low sun

in front of the windscreen or in foggy or heavy rain

conditions), it's advisable to wait until the lighting

and glare conditions improve, allowing the system to

resume full operation.

In scenarios where the traffic situation demands it,

it is the drivers responsibility to apply the brakes,

as needed, to further decrease the vehicle's speed,

ensuring stability on tight bends or steep descents.

4

If an obstruction is signalled, clean the camera area

of the windshield and verify if the message has

disappeared.

DEACTIVATION

The device is deactivated, and the set speed is

canceled if:

Once the conditions that limited the system's

functionality have ended, it will return to its regular and

full operation. If the issue persists, it's recommended to

contact an authorized dealer for assistance.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off is pressed.

● The Active Speed Limiter button is pressed.

● The ignition device switch is in the OFF position.

PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH ACC

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may increase or decrease the vehicle speed

for stability, with no vehicle ahead detected. Once the

vehicle is out of the curve, the system will resume your

original set speed. This is a part of normal ACC system

functionality.

The system is canceled, and the set speed and

distance are stored in the following cases:

In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection

issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or

unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert and may

need to intervene. The following are examples of these

types of situations:

● When the CANC button is pressed.

● When the conditions indicated in the paragraph

“Setting the desired speed” occur.

Towing a trailer is not recommended when using ACC.

96 STARTING AND OPERATING

Using ACC On Hills

Stationary Objects And Vehicles

ACC performance may be limited when driving on hills.

ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane depending

on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the

steepness of the hill.

ACC does not react to stationary objects or vehicles.

For example, ACC will not react in situations where

the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the

vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. It will consider

this stopped vehicle a stationary object as it did not

previously detect movement from it. Always be attentive

and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.

Lane Changing Example

Narrow Vehicles

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of

the lane or edging into the lane are not detected until

they have moved fully into the lane. There may not be

sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.

ACC Hill Example

Lane Changing

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

the lane in which you are traveling. In the following

lane changing example, ACC has not yet detected the

vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the vehicle

until it's too late for the ACC system to take action.

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

the lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the

lane-changing vehicle. Always be attentive and ready to

apply the brakes if necessary.
