The speed limit can be programmed on the Connect system. Access via main menu: Settings → Safety → Speed Limiter Set Speed. Use the Rotary Pad to adjust speed by 5 mph (5 km/h) from 20 mph (30 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h).
Fully depressing the accelerator allows exceeding the programmed speed. The device disables until speed drops below the set limit, then reactivates automatically.
Deactivate via Connect system: Settings → Safety → Speed Limiter → Off. Device also automatically deactivates in case of system fault. Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership if this occurs.
Electronically maintains car speed above 20 mph (30 km/h) without pressing the accelerator. Recommended for long, straight stretches on dry roads. Buttons located on left of steering wheel. Deactivates if multiple functions are operated simultaneously; reactivate using /CANC button.
Press the Cruise Control button Fig. 172. White symbol lights up on instrument panel Fig. 173. Cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse gear; recommended in 3rd gear or higher.
Warning: Do not leave the device on when not in use due to risk of unintended acceleration.
Reach desired speed, raise/lower the SET lever Fig. 174 and release to activate. Vehicle maintains speed automatically. Accelerator overrides temporarily; vehicle returns to set speed when released. Maintain constant speed on flat surface before setting.
Use SET lever to adjust:
Warning: Adjusts speed according to selected units (metric/imperial).
Device may shift gears automatically to maintain speed. Slight speed variation is normal on gradients. Deactivate on steep slopes if necessary.
In D mode, use RES lever Fig. 175 to recall previously set speed. In Autostick, accelerate close to desired speed first, then press RES.
Combines Cruise Control with distance control from vehicle ahead. Uses radar Fig. 176 and camera Fig. 177. Maintains speed and preset distance; automatically adjusts speed based on vehicle ahead.
Device has four states: Enabled, Activated, Paused, Off. Press /CANC button to enable. White icon with dashes shows enabled; green icon with set speed shows activated. Cannot enable in RACE mode. Pressing /CANC pauses or deactivates device.
Set speed from 30 km/h (19 mph) to 180 km/h (110 mph) using RES/SET lever Fig. 180. Accelerator overrides temporarily. Device returns to normal operation when accelerator released. Cannot activate if:
Warning: Device may not work correctly above max speed (180 km/h or 110 mph). Deactivate in such cases.
Accelerator overrides temporarily. Braking system intervenes if needed. Device holds speed uphill/downhill; minor variations normal. Automatic transmission may downshift downhill or during acceleration. Device switches off if brakes overheat.
Device provides additional acceleration when overtaking at >43 mph (70 km/h) and direction indicator activated. Left-hand traffic: overtaking assist active on left lane (opposite logic in right-hand traffic).
Move RES/SET lever up and release accelerator to recall previously stored speed. Only use if road and traffic conditions allow. Excessive or unsafe recall may cause accidents.
Distance adjustable to 1 (short) – 4 bars (max) Fig. 181. Time interval varies 1–2 seconds based on setting. Distance shown on display. Default: 4 bars. Adjust with button Fig. 182. Device automatically adapts speed to maintain distance.
Maintains safe distance even when vehicle stops. Automatically restarts if car ahead moves within 2 seconds; otherwise use accelerator or RES/SET lever.
Device and set speed canceled when:
Device cancelled (speed & distance stored) when paused or certain conditions occur.
Message shown on display if system operation limited (obstruction or fault). Clean sensor area Fig. 177. Contact Alfa Romeo Dealership if fault persists.
