Adaptive Cruise Control* (p. 281)
Overtaking assistance with Adaptive
Cruise Control
Adaptive cruise control (ACC
43
) can assist the
driver when overtaking other vehicles.
How overtaking assistance works
When ACC is following another vehicle and the
driver indicates the intention to overtake by acti-
vating the direction indicator
44
, adaptive cruise
control helps by accelerating the vehicle towards
the vehicle in front before the driver’s vehicle
reaches the overtaking lane.
The function then delays reducing speed in order
to avoid premature braking when the driver’s car
is approaching a slower vehicle.
The function remains active until the driver’s vehi-
cle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function can be activated
in more situations than during overtaking, e.g.
when a direction indicator is used to indicate
a change of lane or exit to another road – the
car will then accelerate briefly.
