Passing Assistance - Volvo XC60 Twin Engine 2020 Owner's Manual

DRIVER SUPPORT

Passing assistance

Passing assistance can assist the driver when
passing other vehicles. The function can be
used with Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot
Assist*.
How passing assistance works
When Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist
is following another vehicle and you indicate
that you intend to pass that vehicle by using
the turn signal 51 , the system will begin accel-
erating 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
indicator is used to indicate a lane change
or before exiting to another road – the vehi-
cle will then briefly accelerate.
51 Only the left-hand turn signal for left-hand drive vehicles, or right-hand turn signal for right-hand drive vehicles.
