Support for lane change
If your vehicle is being driven at approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or more and
a lane change to the passing lane is performed, when the turn signal lever is
operated and the lane is changed, the vehicle will accelerate up to the set speed to
assist in overtaking.
The system' s recognition of which lane is the passing lane may be based solely on the
location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left-hand drive/right-hand drive). If the vehicle
is driven in a location where the passing lane is on the opposite side of that where
the vehicle was originally sold, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is
operated away from the passing lane. (e.g. The vehicle was manufactured for a right-hand
traffic location, but is being driven in a left-hand traffic location. The vehicle may accelerate
when the turn signal lever is operated to the right.)
