set, the speed control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
Warning!
Leaving the Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control
and have an accident. Always leave the
system OFF when you are not using it.
Setting The Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the Speed Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, push the SETswitch up or
down and release to activate. When the
accelerator is released, the vehicle will
maintain the selected speed
automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate beyond the set speed
by pressing the accelerator. When you
release the pedal, the vehicle goes back
to the previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the set one.
Note:
Before pushing the SETswitch, the
vehicle must be traveling at a constant
speed on a flat surface.
To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the Speed Control has been
activated, the speed can be increased by
pushing the SETswitch upward.
By keeping the switch pushed, the set
speed will increase until the button is
released.The new speed will then be set.
At every movement of the SETswitch,
the set speed will be adjusted.
Decreasing Speed
When the system is active, to reduce the
speed, push the SETswitch downward.
By keeping the switch pushed, the set
speed will decrease until the button is
released.The new speed will then be set.
At every movement of the SETswitch,
the set speed will be adjusted.
Note:
Moving the SETswitch allows the
driver to adjust the speed according to
the selected unit of measurement set in
the Information and Entertainment
System (see dedicated supplement).
Accelerating When Overtaking
Press the accelerator as you would
normally. When the pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the set speed.
Use Of The Feature On Hilly Routes
The vehicle can automatically downshift
to keep the set speed when driving on
hilly routes.
On steep grades, the loss or gain in speed
may be considerable and is advisable to
deactivate the Speed Control system.
Note:
The system keeps the speed set
even uphill and downhill. A slight variation
in the speed on slight elevations is
completely normal.
To Resume The Speed
Note:
Before returning to the previously
set speed, you must accelerate to a
speed close to the set speed, then push
and release the RES button.
While in Autostick (sequential) mode,
before recalling the previously set speed,

you should accelerate until you are close
to that speed.Then, push and release the
RES button.
To Deactivate
Lightly pressing the brake pedal
deactivates the speed control without
deleting the set speed.
The speed control may also be
deactivated by applying the electric park
brake or when the braking system is
operated (e.g. operation of the ESC
system).
The set speed is deleted in the following
cases:
Pushing the on/off button twice
The ignition is cycled to the STOP
position
There is a malfunction with the Speed
Control.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(ACC) — IF EQUIPPED
System Description
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the speed
control functions with maintaining the
distance from the vehicle ahead.
The system allows to set and hold the
vehicle at the desired speed without
needing to press the accelerator. It also
allows to set and hold a distance from the
vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system uses a radar sensor located
behind the front bumper and a camera
located in the center/upper part of the
windshield, to detect the presence of a
vehicle close ahead.
This system enhances driving comfort
while on the highway or out of town with
light traffic.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, the system will maintain a fixed
set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
system automatically intervenes by
braking (or accelerating) slightly in order
keep the set distance while not
exceeding the original set speed, seeking
to adapt to the speed of the vehicle
ahead.
Note:
Adaptive Cruise Control
performance is not guaranteed under the
following circumstances, and it is

STARTING AND OPERATING
recommended to disable the system
under the following circumstances:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or
construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads,
roads with steep climbs and descents, or
roads with numerous turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.
Warning!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete attention
is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled
vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in wrong
or missing distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a target vehicle and hold the
vehicle for approximately 3 minutes in the
stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the parking
brake will be activated, and the ACC system
will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway
construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Activation/Deactivation
The system has four operating states:
Enabled (speed not set)
Activated (speed set)
Paused
Deactivated
Enabling / Activation
To enable the system, push and release
the
(on/off) button located on the left
side of the steering wheel.
When the system is enabled and ready to

Note:
The system cannot be enabled
when RACE mode is active.
Warning!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it
to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
Pausing / Deactivating
With the system enabled (speed not set),
push the
(on/off) button to disable.
With the system active (speed set), push
the
(on/off) button to pause.The
display will show the icon in white with
the speed in brackets.To then deactivate
the system, push the
(on/off) button
again.
Setting The Desired Speed
The speed can be set from a minimum of
20 mph (30 km/h) to a maximum of
110 mph (180 km/h).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, push the SETswitch upward or
downward and release it to activate the
system. When the accelerator is released,
the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically.
While the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the system will not be able to control the
distance between the vehicle and the one
ahead. In this case, the speed will be
determined only by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The system will return to normal
operation as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released.
The system
cannot
be set:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the electric park brake has been
operated.
When either PARK (P), REVERSE (R) or
NEUTRAL (N) is engaged.
When the engine rpm is above a
maximum threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within
the operational speed range.
When the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating
or have just operated.
When the ESC system is off.
When the Forward Collision Warning
system (if equipped) is braking
automatically.
In the event of system failure.
When the engine is OFF.
In case of obstruction of the radar
sensor (in this case the bumper area
where it is located must be cleaned).
If the system is set, the conditions
described above also cause a
cancellation or deactivation of the
system.These situations may vary
according to the conditions.
Note:
The system will not be deactivated
when speeds higher than those set are
reached by pressing the accelerator
pedal above 110 mph (180 km/h). In
these situations, the system may not
work correctly and it is recommended to
deactivate it.
To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you
can increase the speed by lifting the SET
switch. Each time it is operated, the
speed increases by 1 mph.
By holding the button up, the set speed
will increase in increments of 5 mph until
