The ACC has certain limitations inherent to
the system. Certain reactions, under certain
circumstances, may be unexpected or come
late from the driver's point of view. So pay at-
tention in order to intervene if necessary.
The following situations require maximum at-
tention:
Starting driving after a stationary period
After a stopping phase, the ACC may begin
moving when the vehicle in front moves off
(vehicles with automatic transmission). On
vehicles with manual transmission, follow the
instructions in the instrument panel
Overtaking
When the turn signal lights up before the ve-
hicle starts to overtake, the ACC accelerates
the vehicle automatically and thus reduces
the distance from the vehicle in front.
When the vehicle moves to the overtaking
lane, if the ACC does not detect another ve-
hicle in front, it accelerates until it reaches the
programmed speed.
System acceleration can be interrupted at
any time by pressing the brake pedal or by
pressing the button
