ACC active, vehicle detected in an outer lane
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) has a func-
tion that helps avoid overtaking while driving
in inside lanes at certain speeds.
If another vehicle is detected travelling at a
slower speed in an outer lane, it is displayed
on the multifunction display
To avoid overtaking while driving in an inside
lane the system will gently brake, and in ac-
cordance with the speed will prevent the car
from overtaking. The driver can interrupt this
intervention at any time.

Deactivating the Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol ACC temporarily in certain situa-
tions
In the following situations the Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) should be deactivated
due to the system's limitations
● When changing lanes, on tight bends and
roundabouts, in acceleration and decelera-
tion lanes on motorways or in sections with
road works to prevent involuntary accelera-
tion to reach the programmed speed.
● When going through a tunnel, as operation
could be affected.
● On roads with several lanes, when other ve-
hicles are driving more slowly in the overtak-
ing lane. In this case, slower vehicles will be
overtaken on the right.
● In case of heavy rain, snow or spray, as the
vehicle in front might not be detected proper-

detected at all.
WARNING
If the ACC does not switch off in the situa-
tions described, serious accidents and inju-
ries may occur.
● Always switch off the ACC in critical situa-
tions.
