speed automatically to maintain the
distance setting, regardless of the set
speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set
distance until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your
lane or view of the sensor.
• The distance setting is changed.
• The driver disables the system.
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 distance.
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 (FCW) 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.
ACC Operation Before and
During Stop
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two-three
seconds the system will not be able to
resume driving the car autonomously.
In this condition, TFT displays an
instruction message pop up for 5
seconds.
When the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following
a target vehicle, the brakes are
released after 180 seconds after the
stop and at the same time the system
inserts the parking brake. When
parking brake engages the ACC
deactivates going to ready state.
At this point the driver must act on
the multifunction control (RES + or
