Passing another vehicle
If you move into the passing lane and no vehi -
cle is detected ahead, the adapt ive cruise con-
trol accelerates to the speed you have set and
maintains it.
Override
You can increase your speed at any time by
stepping on the accelerator pedal. After you
release the accelerator pedal, the system ad-
justs back down to the speed you previously
set .

Tips
Please note that the amount of accelera-
tion the adaptive cruise control uses de-
pends on the Distance setting selected.
DISTANCE 1 gives you acceleration that is
dynamic and sporty. DISTANCE 4, on the
other hand, gives more moderate accelera-
tion. For more information about the time
intervals ¢
page 103, How is the distance
(time interval) set?.
- Please note that if the adaptive cruise
control has begun braking the vehicle
and the driver chooses to brake the vehi-
cle additionally, the brakes may feel
"hard". This is simply due to the pressure
build-up of the initial braking.
- Adaptive cruise control is switched off af-
ter pressing the footbrake. The speed
saved up this point can be resumed. To
resume the saved speed, release the
brake pedal and pull the control lever
