Driver Assistance Systems
The maximum braking applied by ACC
is limited; however, the driver can
always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary. Any time the ACC system
automatically operates the brakes, the
stop lights will turn on as if the driver
was braking.
A Proximity Warning on display will
alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set time gap.
If this occurs, a visual alert will flash
on the display and a chime will sound
while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.

NOTE:
The displayed warning is a warning
for the driver to take action and does
not necessarily mean that the Forward
Collision Warning system is applying
the brakes autonomously.

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 utilises 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
acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilises 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
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 have 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
