Vehicles without inside overtaking prevention function: driving on multi-lane
roads when vehicles in the overtaking lane are driving more slowly.
Objects that cannot be detected
• Persons
• Animals
• Stationary vehicles
• Crossing or oncoming vehicles

If the message ACC ready is shown on the instrument cluster display and the vehicle in
front moves off, your vehicle will move off automatically. In some cases, the radar sensor

serious injury and accidents.
