WARNING
When using the Overtaking Assistance
System, the driver should be aware that
there may be undesired acceleration if the
conditions suddenly change.
Some situations should therefore be avoi-
ded, such as if:
the car is approaching an exit for turn-
•
of that is in the same direction as over-
taking would normally occur.
the vehicle ahead slows down before
•
the driver's car has crossed over into
the overtaking lane.
the traffic in the overtaking lane slows
•
down.
a right-hand drive car is driven in a
•
county with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type are avoided by tempo-
rarily setting adaptive cruise control or Pilot
Assist to standby mode.
