Use Overtaking
Assistance
Overtaking assistance can be used with adap-
tive cruise control or Pilot Assist.
The following conditions must exist for Overtak-
ing Assistance to be activated:
• there must be a vehicle in front (the “target
vehicle”)
• your car's current speed is at least 70 km/h
(43 mph)
• the stored speed must be high enough for
overtaking to take place safely.
To start the Overtaking Assistance:
– Activate the direction indicator. Use the left-
hand direction indicator in a left-hand drive
car, or right in a right-hand drive car.
> Overtaking assistance starts acceleration
and shortens the time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead for a limited time in order to facili-
tate overtaking. If the overtaking does not
proceed, the time interval returns to the
preset.

WARNING
When using the Overtaking Assistance
System, the driver should be aware that
there may be undesired acceleration if
the conditions suddenly change.
Some situations should therefore be
avoided, such as if:
• the car is approaching an exit to turn-
off in the same direction as overtaking
would normally occur
• the vehicle ahead slows down before
the driver's car has crossed over into
the overtaking lane.
• the traffic in the overtaking lane slows
down.
• a right-hand drive car is driven in a
county with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type are avoided by set-
ting the adaptive cruise control or Pilot
Assist to standby mode.
