Activate the direction indicator.
Use the left direction indicator in a car with
the steering wheel on the left, or the right
direction indicator in a car with the steering
wheel on the right.
> Overtaking assistance is started.
Limitations
When using Overtaking Assistance the driver
should be prepared for sudden changes in condi-
tions. In some conditions Overtaking Assistance
can cause unwanted acceleration.
Some situations should be avoided for this rea-
son. Examples of such situations are:
•
the car is approaching an exit road in order
to turn off in the same direction that is nor-
mally used for overtaking
•
the vehicle in front slows before your car has
entered the overtaking lane
•
traffic in the overtaking lane is slowing
•
a car designed for right-hand traffic is being
driven in a country with left-hand traffic (or
vice versa).
Situations of this kind can be avoided by tempo-
rarily setting ACC or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Change of target and automatic
braking with the Adaptive Cruise
Control
In combination with automatic gearbox, the
adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control
- ACC ) has functionality for change of target
and braking at certain speeds.
Change of target
If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there
may be stationary traffic in front.
When the adaptive cruise control is following
another vehicle at speeds
below 30 km/h
(20 mph) and the target is changed from a mov-
ing vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the adaptive
cruise control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
WARNING
When the adaptive cruise control is following
another vehicle at speeds in excess of
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target is
changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary
vehicle, the adaptive cruise control will ignore
the stationary vehicle and instead select the
stored speed.
•
The driver must then intervene him/
herself and brake.
Automatic standby mode with change of
target
The adaptive cruise control is disengaged and set
in standby mode:
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)
and the adaptive cruise control is uncertain
whether the target object is a stationary vehi-
cle or some other object, such as a speed
bump.
•
when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)
and the vehicle ahead turns off so the adap-
tive cruise control no longer has a vehicle to
follow.
Automatic braking
For shorter stops in connection with inching in
slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is automati-
cally resumed if the stops do not exceed about
3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in
