To help you pass while adaptive cruise
control is active, when you switch on your
left turn signal, you may experience a small
temporary acceleration.
The vehicle will maintain a constant distance
between the vehicle ahead until:
•
the vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed
•
the vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view
•
the vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20
km/h)
•
a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking which
the system can apply is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.
