Passing assistance with Adaptive
Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC
43
) can assist the
driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC is following another vehicle and you
indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by
using the turn signal
44
, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead
before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to
avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches a
slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has
passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations than just passing
another vehicle, such as when a direction indi-
cator is used to indicate a lane change or
before exiting to another road – the vehicle
will then briefly accelerate.

Limitations of passing assistance
with Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced
in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Parking Assis-
tance, the function may implement an unde-
sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
•
the vehicle is approaching an exit in the
same direction as passing would normally
occur
•
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-
cle has had time to switch to the passing
lane
•
traffic in the passing lane slows down
•
a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in
a country with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
rarily putting ACC
45
in standby mode.
