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 for ACC must be high
•
enough to safely pass another vehicle.

Limitations of passing assistance
with Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced
in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Parking 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
•
a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in
•
a country with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
45
rarily putting ACC
in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans-
missions and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC
can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
stationary traffic ahead.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is actively follow-
ing another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h
(20 mph) and switches targets from a moving
vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Adaptive Cruise
Control will brake for the stationary vehicle.
