from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
“STOP AND GO” STRATEGY
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the car has
completely stopped. It will also restart
the car automatically if the vehicle ahead
moves off within two seconds, otherwise
it is necessary to press the accelerator
pedal or the RES button to restart.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the
button on the Active Cruise
Control is pressed (with the device on or
paused);
the starter switch is in the STOP
position;
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the device is paused (see the
“Active Cruise Control Activation /
Deactivation” paragraph);
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
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. If an obstruction is signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 104 and check that the
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below): the
driver must control the car at all times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
VEHICLE not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which is
not aligned along the same direction of
travel or a vehicle which is cutting in from
a side lane. Sufficient distance from the
vehicles ahead may not be guaranteed in
these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in and
out of the driving direction causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and bends
When cornering with the device set, it
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead. When
leaving the bend, the device resets the
previously set speed.
IMPORTANT In case of narrow curves,
the performance of the device could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the device. Moreover,
remember that the device only limits the
speed DURING a bend and not BEFORE
it, so always take great care.
Using the device on gradient
When driving on roads with variable
gradient, the device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle on the lane. Device
performance could be limited according
to speed, load, traffic conditions and
gradient steepness.
Lane change
The device may not detect the presence
of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane.
In this case, sufficient distance from the
vehicle which is changing lane may not be
guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the
125
