When a new speed limit is recognised,
the "Traffic Sign Information" system
will suggest the new limit, which will
be shown with a message on the
instrument panel display. The driver
can accept the new limit by pressing
the RES button to set the Adaptive
Cruise Control speed to that suggested
by the road sign.
The activation of the Intelligent Adaptive
Cruise Control is indicated by the
symbol
on the display and the
green circle around the speed limit
sign.
COMING TO A STOP AND
RESTARTING
The system can decelerate the car to a
standstill when the vehicle in front of it
slows down and stops. The system will
automatically restart the car if the car
comes to a stop and the vehicle in front
restarts within 3 seconds. If the vehicle
in front restarts after 3 seconds, the
RES button or the accelerator pedal
must be pressed to reactivate the
system and restart. If the system keeps
the car at a standstill for 2 minutes, the
electric parking brake will activate and
the system will be deactivated.
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.
WARNING The driver must ensure that
there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
other obstacles in front of the car when
the system is reactivated. Failure to
comply with this precaution may cause
serious accidents and fatal injuries.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
by pressing the brake pedal or the
CANC button but not deactivated by
pressing button (A) fig. 152, simply
press the RES button and take your
foot off the accelerator pedal to recall a
previously set speed.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions
could cause a sudden acceleration or
a deceleration of the car. Failure to
comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and fatal
injuries.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CARS
162) 163) 164) 165)
The distance between your car and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 154.

F0S1078
The distances from the vehicle ahead
are proportional to speed. The interval
of time with respect to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies
from 1 second (for the short distance
1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the
maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the
display by means of a dedicated icon
(A) fig. 155 (or in the “Driver Assist”
area).
