WARNING! (Continued)
The driver is fully responsible for holding a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead
respecting the highway code in force in
the respective country.
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following
a vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph
(70 km/h), the system will provide an addi-
tional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to
assist in passing the vehicle. This additional
acceleration is triggered when the driver
utilizes the left turn signal and will only be
active when passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of traffic auto-
matically when the vehicle passes from left
hand traffic to right hand traffic. In this case,
the overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken on the
right. The additional acceleration is deactivated
when the driver uses the right direction indi-
cator and returns to the original lane.
"Stop And Go" Function
The "Stop and Go" operating strategy allows
you to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead until the vehicle has completely
stopped.
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following the
vehicle in front, if the vehicle in front starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle
coming to a standstill, your vehicle will resume
motion without the need for any driver action.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving
within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will have to push the RES/
SET switch upward to restart.
WARNING!
When the 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.

Limited Operation Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the Adaptive
Cruise Control operation may have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle's sensor or camera. It could also be
due to a fault in the system. If an obstruction
is detected, clean the area of the windshield
opposite the interior rearview mirror, where
the camera is located, as well as the area of
the front fascia/bumper where the sensor is
located. Then check that the message has
disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system func-
tions end, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs
to stay alert and may need to intervene. The
following are examples of these types of situa-
tions:
Towing A Trailer
Towing a trailer is not advised when using ACC.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or
a vehicle merging in from a side lane. There
may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle
