Driver Assistance Systems
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and
following a target vehicle, the system
will provide an additional acceleration
to assist in passing vehicles in front.
This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal to start overtaking. In
locations with left hand drive traffic,
overtake aid is active only when
passing on the left hand side of the
target vehicle.
When a vehicle goes from a location
with left hand drive traffic to a
location with right hand drive traffic,
the ACC system will automatically
detect traffic direction. In this
condition, overtake aid is active only
when passing on the right side of
the target vehicle. This additional
6
acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilizes the right turn signal to
start overtaking. In this condition the
ACC system will no longer provide
Overtake Aid on the left side until it
determines that the vehicle has moved
back to a location with left hand drive.
System Operation Before and
During Stop
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two
212
seconds the system will not be able to
resume.
In this condition, TFT displays an
instruction message pop up for 5
seconds and the driver has to press the
accelerator pedal or resume the ACC
speed by acting on the multifunction
control (RES + or SET -).
While ACC with Stop is holding your
vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
unbuckles the seatbelt or opens the
door, the ESC system will activate the
EPB. During standstill, ACC system
monitors the occupant detection
signals: if the driver's seatbelt becomes
unbuckled, the ACC system shall be
cancelled when the EPB is applied.
WARNING!
• When the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no
pedestrians, vehicles or objects in
the path of the vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious
personal injury.
• During the automatic stopping
behind a vehicle in some rare cases it
may happen that the system does
not recognize the rearmost point of
the vehicle ahead but a target under
the vehicle ahead (e.g. the back axle
of a truck with a high loading edge
or a bumper of a vehicle although
overhanging load is hanging over
the vehicle's rear). In these cases
the system cannot guarantee the
appropriate stopping distance
leading to collision in the worst case.
For this reason the driver has to be
attentive and ready to brake during
automatic stops.
Display Warnings and
Maintenance of ACC and FCW
Systems
Wipe Front Radar Sensor Warning
This warning will display and also a
chime will indicate when conditions
temporarily limit system performance
due to sensor poor or failed signal
reception. This most often occurs at
times of poor visibility, such as in
snow or heavy rain. The ACC and FCW
systems may also become temporarily
blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice on the radar sensor.
In these cases, the system will be
disabled.
This message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly
reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with
reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The
