Use Overtaking Assistance

There are a number of criteria if Overtaking
Assistance is to be used.
The following conditions must exist for Overtak-
ing Assistance to be activated:
there must be a vehicle in front (the "target
•
vehicle")
your car's current speed is at least 70 km/h
•
(43 mph)
the stored speed must be high enough for
•
overtaking to take place safely.
To start the Overtaking Assistance:
Activate the direction indicator.
–
Use the left-hand direction indicator in a left-
hand drive car right in a right-hand drive car.
> Overtaking Assistance is started.
WARNING
When using the Overtaking Assistance Sys-
tem, the driver should be aware that there
may be undesired acceleration if the condi-
tions suddenly change.
Some situations should therefore be avoided,
such as if:
the car is approaching an exit for turn-of
•
that is in the same direction as overtaking
would normally occur
the vehicle ahead slows down before the
•
driver's car has crossed over into the
overtaking lane.
the traffic in the overtaking lane slows
•
down.
a right-hand drive car is driven in a county
•
with left-hand traffic (or vice versa).
Situations of this type are avoided by temporarily
setting adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist to
standby mode.
