Passing anoth er vehicle
If you move into the passi ng lane and no veh i-
cle is detected ahead, the adaptive cruise con-
trol accelerates to the speed you have set and
maintains it.
Override
You can increase your speed at any t ime by
stepp ing on the acce lerator 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 accelerat ion that is
dynamic and sporty . DISTANCE 4, on the
other hand, gives more moderate accelera-
tion . For more information about the time
intervals ¢
page 104, 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 add itionally, t he brakes may fee l
"hard" . This is simply due to the pressure
build- up of the initial braking.
- Adaptive cruise control is sw itched 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
