Overtaking Assistance
Overtaking Assistance can help the driver when
overtaking other vehicles. The function can be
used with adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist.
When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is
following another vehicle and the driver indi-
cates the intention to overtake by activating the
left-hand direction indicator
90
the systems can
help by accelerating the car towards the vehicle
ahead before the car reaches the overtaking
lane.
The function then delays reducing speed in
order to avoid premature braking when the
driver’s car is approaching a slower vehicle.
The function remains active until the driver’s
vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.

WARNING
• Be aware that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations than during
overtaking, e.g. when a direction indi-
cator is used to indicate a change of
lane or exit to another road – the car
will then accelerate briefly.
WARNING
• • The function is supplementary
driver support intended to facilitate
driving and make it safer – it cannot
handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such
as its limitations and what the driver
should be aware of before using the
system.
• Driver support functions are not a
substitute for the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropri-
ate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with current traffic rules
and regulations.
