Using passing assistance
Several conditions must be met for passing
assistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
•
your vehicle must be following a vehicle
ahead (target vehicle)
your vehicle's current speed must be
•
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
the set speed must be high enough to
•
safely pass another vehicle.
To start passing assistance:
Turn on the left turn signal.
–
> Passing assistance will start.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Passing Assis-
tance, the function may implement an unde-
sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
•
the vehicle is approaching an exit in the
same direction as passing would normally
occur
•
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-
cle has had time to switch to the passing
lane
•
traffic in the passing lane slows down
DRIVER SUPPORT
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
rarily putting Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot
Assist in standby mode.
