(where provided)

DESCRIPTION

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is

an electronic driver assist system that

uses the camera located in the middle

of the steering wheel fig. 137, to detect

the presence of a vehicle close ahead.

It combines the Cruise Control function

with the ability to control the distance

to the vehicle ahead.
The system allows the car to be held

at the desired speed without needing

to press the accelerator. It also allows

holding the distance set by the driver

from the vehicle ahead.

147

137

However, the driver is responsible for

adapt the speed to the traffic, type of

road and weather conditions.

WARNINGS

The system controls the speed of the

vehicle to reach or hold the set speed.

If the sensor detects a vehicle, the

vehicle is adapted to the speed of the

vehicle ahead while hold the distance

and without exceeding the set speed.
It is advisable to turn the system off in

the following cases:

driving in fog, heavy rain, snow,

heavy traffic and in complex driving

situations;

driving close to a bend (winding

roads), icy, snowy, slippery roads or

on steep gradients.

149

SPEED VARIATION WITH ROAD

SIGN (INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE

CRUISE CONTROL)

The "Intelligent Adaptive Cruise

Control" system can be used to set a

speed limit equal to that indicated on

the road sign detected by the “Traffic

Sign Recognition” system (see the

respective paragraph in this section).
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.

REACHING A STANDSTILL

The system can decelerate the car

to a standstill when the vehicle in

front of it slows down and stops. For

speeds below 60 km/h (36 mph) and if

visibility permits, the system can detect

stopped cars and slow down to a safe

distance. Once the car is stopped,

the function will be deactivated. The

system can be restarted from speeds

above 5 km/h (3 mph) and by pressing

one of the SET+, SET- or RES buttons.
If the system keeps the vehicle

stationary for two minutes, the electric

parking brake will activate and the

system will be deactivated.

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. 138, 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.

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. 141.

141

F0S1078

The distance from the vehicle ahead is

proportional to speed.
The interval of time showing ithe safe

distance 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

(or in the “Driver Assist” area).
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first

time the system is used. After the

distance has been modified by the

driver, the new distance will be stored

also after the system is deactivated and

reactivated.

STARTING AND DRIVING

150

To decrease the distance

Press and release the button to

decrease the distance setting (B)

fig. 138.
The distance setting decreases by one

bar (shorter) every time the button is

pressed.
Once the shortest distance has been

reached, a further press of the button

will set the longest distance. The set

speed is held if there are no cars

ahead.
If a vehicle is detected ahead in the

same lane, travelling at slower speed,
page fig. 141 and icon

will appears

on the display (where provided). The

system will automatically adjust the

car speed to hold the distance setting

regardless of the set speed.
The car holds the set distance until:

the vehicle ahead accelerates to a

speed higher than the set speed;

the vehicle ahead leaves the lane

or the detection field of the Adaptive

Cruise Control system sensor;

the distance setting is changed;

the Adaptive Cruise Control System

is deactivated or switched off;

If the driver does not press the

accelerator pedal.

WARNING The maximum braking force

applied by the system is limited. The

driver may always apply the brakes, if

needed.

WARNING If the system predicts

that the braking level is insufficient to

maintain the set distance, it signals

the driver to pay attention when

approaching the vehicle ahead by

displaying an alert message on the

display. An acoustic warning is also

emitted. In this case, it is advisable to

brake immediately as necessary to hold

a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

WARNING The driver is responsible for

ensuring that there are no pedestrians,

other cars or objectives along the

direction of the car. Failure to comply

with these precautions may cause

serious accidents and injuries.

WARNING The driver is fully

responsible for holding a safe distance

from the vehicle ahead respecting the

highway code in force in the respective

country.

OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION

166)

The Adaptive Cruise Control system,

when traffic conditions permit, allows

additional acceleration to be given to

the vehicle to facilitate overtaking by

simply activating the direction indicator.

This additional acceleration is provided

as long as the distance to the vehicle to

be overtaken is guaranteed.
Once acceleration is perceived, the

driver must make sure that the traffic

and cars coming from behind allow

it, and to make the lane change

manoeuvre. Once the trajectory is clear

of vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Control will

regain control of the selected speed,

or reduce it to maintain the desired

distance from the vehicle ahead.
NOTE The overtaking aid function

is only available on the side where

overtaking is permitted according to

the highway code (left in countries

with traffic on the right side of the

carriageway, right in countries with

traffic on the left side).

SPEED REDUCTION ON BENDS

The Adaptive Cruise Control system

CAN decelerate slightly on bends to

improve vehicle stability and comfort.
The functionality can be a valid help in

roundabouts or with gradual bends,

faced with increasing curvature; it

cannot compensate for sudden

steering or in general medium/high

lateral accelerations.
However, the driver is responsible,

depending on the traffic scenario, to

apply the brake, where necessary, to

further reduce the speed of the vehicle,

151

ensuring its stability in sharp bends or

descending radius.

EXTENSION OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE

CONTROL: CO-DRIVER

The Adaptive Cruise Control system

can work in conjunction with the

Co-Driver system (see the respective

paragraph in this chapter) to offer

"Autonomous Level 2 Assistance".
The Co-Driver will be able to maintain

constant speed and distance,

adaptable to the cars in front, and keep

the car in the middle of the lane.
NOTE The system is an aid for

the driver, who must always pay

full attention while driving. The

responsibility always rests with the

driver, who must take into account the

traffic conditions in order to drive in

complete safety. The driver is always

required to pay attention to the road

and keep his hands on the steering

wheel.

DEACTIVATION

The system is deactivated and the set

speed is cancelled if:

the button (A) fig. 138 is pressed on

the Adaptive Cruise Control;

the Speed Limiter button is pressed;

the starting system switch is in the

STOP position;

the system is deactivated:

when the CANC button is pressed;

when the conditions indicated in the

paragraph “Setting the desired speed”

occur;

when the car reaches a stop behind

a stopped vehicle.
If these conditions occur while the

system is decelerating with respect

to a vehicle ahead, the system could

continue the deceleration, if necessary,

also after it is cancelled.
NOTE The system always remembers

the last distance desired and selected

by the user. The system keeps the

speed stored until you deactivate the

system by pressing the (A) fig. 138

Adaptive Cruise Control button or

turning the car off.

SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION

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 case of camera blinding (e.g. caused

by low sun in front of the windscreen),

wait until the light and glare conditions

cease and allow the system to operate

fully.

If an obstruction is signalled, clean the

area of the windscreen indicated in

fig. 151 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 a Fiat

Dealership.

PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING

The system may not work correctly in

some driving conditions (see below):

the driver must control the car at all

times.

Vehicle not aligned

The system 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 car to brake or accelerate

unexpectedly.

Steering and curves

On bends fig. 142 with the system set,

it could limit speed and acceleration to

guarantee car stability even if no cars

are detected ahead.

STARTING AND DRIVING

152

When leaving the bend, the system

resets the previously set speed.

142

F0S0771

WARNING In case of narrow bends,

the performance of the system could

be limited. In this case, it is advisable to

deactivate the device.

Using the system on gradient

When driving on roads with variable

gradient, the system may not detect

the presence of a vehicle on the

lane. The system performance be

limited according to speed, load of the

car, traffic conditions and gradient

steepness.

Lane change

The system may not detect the

presence of a vehicle until it is fully in

your lane fig. 143.
In this case, sufficient distance from the

vehicle which is changing lane may not

be guaranteed: it is advisable to pay

the utmost attention at all times and

be always ready to press the brakes if

needed.

143

F0S0772

Small vehicles

Some narrow vehicles (e.g. bicycles

and motorcycles fig. 144) travelling

near the outer edges of the lane or

which enter the lane from kerbside are

not detected until they are fully in the

lane.
Sufficient distance from the vehicles

ahead may not be guaranteed in these

cases.

144

F0S0773

Stationary objects and vehicles

The system cannot detect the

presence of stationary objects and

vehicles if you are travelling at a speed

exceeding 60 km/h (37 mph). For

example, the system may not operate

if the vehicle ahead leaves the lane

and a car stopped on the lane ahead

of if. Pay the utmost attention at all

times and be always ready to press the

brakes if needed.

Objects and vehicles moving in

opposite or crosswise direction

The system cannot detect the

presence of objects or cars travelling in

opposite or crosswise direction fig. 145

and consequently will not be operated.

STARTING AND DRIVING

156

CO-DRIVER SYSTEM

WITH STOP&GO -

Adaptive Cruise Control

with Stop&Go

(where provided)

169)

DESCRIPTION

The Adaptive Cruise Control with

Stop&Go is a driver assistance device

which combines the Cruise Control

functions with one for controlling the

distance from the vehicle ahead.
The system allows the car to be held

at the desired speed without needing

to press the accelerator. It also allows

holding the distance set by the driver

from the vehicle ahead.
The system uses a radar sensor,

located behind the front bumper and a

camera, located in the middle area of

the windscreen fig. 151, to detect the

presence of a vehicle close ahead.

151

F0S1286

WARNINGS

If the sensor does not detect any

vehicle ahead, the device will maintain

a fixed set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead,

the device automatically intervenes by

braking (or accelerating) slightly in order

not to exceed the original set speed, so

that the car keeps the preset distance,

seeking to adapt to the speed of the

vehicle ahead.
It is advisable to turn the device off in

the following cases:

driving in fog, heavy rain, snow and

in complex driving situations;

driving close to a bend (winding

roads), icy, snowy, slippery roads or

with a steep uphill or downhill slope;

entering a turn lane or an off-ramp of

the motorway;

when circumstances do not allow

safe driving at a constant speed.

ACTIVATION

WARNING It is dangerous to leave

the device activated when it is not

used. There is a risk of inadvertently

157

activating it and losing control of the

car due to unexpected excessive

speed.

DEACTIVATION

With the device active, to deactivate

it press and release the button (A)

fig. 152.

SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED

The desired speed can be set even

when the vehicle is stationary, from

30 km/h (20 mph) up to 135 km/h (83

mph) for the "Low range" version or

150 km/h (93 mph) for the "High range"

version.
When the car reaches the desired

speed, press and release the button

SET + or SET - to set the speed to the

current speed. The display will show

the set speed. Then take your foot

off the accelerator pedal. Press the

accelerator pedal to make the car go

faster than the set speed. While the

accelerator pedal is pressed:

a dedicated message will appear on

the display for a few seconds;

the device 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 device 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 parking brake is

engaged;

when the transmission in P (Park), R

(Reverse) or N (Neutral);

when an intervention of the ESC

system (or ABS or other stability control

systems) is in progress, or has just

ended;

when the Autonomous Emergency

Brake Control (AEB Control)

system (where provided) is braking

automatically;

when the Speed Limiter is active:

press the button (A) fig. 152 to

deactivate the Speed Limiter. Press the

(A) button again to set the system to

"ready" status;

in case of failure of the device;

when the engine is off;

on very steep slopes;

in case of radar sensor obstruction:

in this case, clean the sensor. Use a

clean cloth for cleaning. Do not use

solvents or abrasive paste. In case of

system set, the conditions described

above also cause a cancellation

or deactivation of the system with

times that may vary according to the

conditions.

WARNING The device is not

deactivated when speeds higher

than those set are reached with

the accelerator pedal pressed. In

these conditions, the device may not

work correctly and it is advisable to

deactivate it.

INCREASING/DECREASING OF

SPEED

After having set the system, the stored

speed can be increased or decreased

by holding the SET + and SET -

buttons pressed.

Press the SET + or SET - button

once

: the set speed will increase or

decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph). Each

subsequent press of the button will

result in an increase or decrease of

1 km/h (1 mph).

Hold the SET + or SET - button

pressed

: the set speed will increase or

decrease in 10 km/h steps (or 5 mph)

until the button is released.
The set speed increase or decrease is

shown on the display.

WARNINGS

By keeping the accelerator pedal

depressed, the car can continue to

accelerate beyond the set speed. In

this case, press the SET + (or SET

–

)

STARTING AND DRIVING

158

button to set the speed to the current

speed of the car.

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.

The system holds the set speed

uphill and downhill; however a slight

variation is entirely normal, particularly

on steep gradients.

The device is switched off while

driving if the brakes overheat.

SPEED VARIATION WITH ROAD

SIGN (INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE

CRUISE CONTROL)

The "Intelligent Adaptive Cruise

Control" system can be used to set a

speed limit equal to that indicated on

the road sign detected by the “Traffic

Sign Recognition” system (see the

respective paragraph in this section).
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.
