DRIVER SUPPORT

Overtaking Assistance*

Use Overtaking Assistance

WARNING

Overtaking Assistance can help the driver

when overtaking other vehicles. The function

can be used with adaptive cruise control* or

Pilot Assist*.

When adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is

following another vehicle and the driver indi-

cates the intention to overtake by activating

the direction indicator⁸⁶, the systems help by

accelerating the vehicle towards the vehicle

ahead before the driver's vehicle reaches the

overtaking lane.

Overtaking assistance can be used with

adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist*. There

are a number of criteria if Overtaking Assis-

tance is to be used.

The following conditions must exist for Over-

taking Assistance to be activated:

The function is supplementary driver

support intended to facilitate driving

and make it safer – it cannot handle all

situations in all traffic, weather and

road conditions.

•

The driver is advised to read all sec-

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate

to this function to learn about factors

such as its limitations and what the

driver should be aware of before using

the system.

there must be a vehicle in front (the “tar-

get vehicle”)

•

your car's current speed is

at least 70 km/h (43 mph)

the stored speed must be high enough

The function then delays reducing speed in

order to avoid premature braking when the

driver’s car is approaching a slower vehicle.

for overtaking to take place safely.

Driver support functions are not a sub-

stitute for the driver's attention and

judgement. The driver is always

responsible for ensuring the car is

driven in a safe manner, at the appro-

priate speed, with an appropriate dis-

tance to other vehicles, and in accord-

ance with current traffic rules and reg-

ulations.

•

To start the Overtaking Assistance:

–

Activate the direction indicator.

The function remains active until the driver’s

vehicle has cleared the overtaken vehicle.

Use the left-hand direction indicator in a

left-hand drive car right in a right-hand

drive car.

WARNING

> Overtaking Assistance is started.

Be aware that this function can be acti-

vated in more situations than during over-

taking, 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.

driver that immediate intervention is required.

Warning from driver support in the

event of a collision risk

The driver support systems of adaptive cruise

control* and Pilot Assist* can warn the driver

if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly

becomes too short.

WARNING

When using the Overtaking Assistance

System, the driver should be aware that

there may be undesired acceleration if the

conditions suddenly change.

WARNING

The driver support systems only warn of

vehicles which their radar unit has detected

– hence a warning may not be given, or it

may be given with a certain delay. Never

wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when

the situation requires.

Some situations should therefore be avoi-

ded, such as if:

the car is approaching an exit to turn-

off in the same direction as overtaking

would normally occur.

•

the vehicle ahead slows down before

the driver's car has crossed over into

the overtaking lane.

DRIVER SUPPORT

Change of target with driver

support

The driver supports of adaptive cruise con-

trol* and Pilot Assist*, in combination with

automatic transmission, have a change of tar-

get function at certain speeds.

Set the stored speed for driver

WARNING

support

When the driver supports are following

another vehicle at speeds in excess of

approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and the target

is changed from a moving vehicle to a sta-

tionary vehicle, the driver supports will

ignore the stationary vehicle and instead

accelerate to the stored speed.

It is possible to set stored speed for the

speed limiter, cruise control, adaptive cruise

control* and Pilot Assist* functions.

Change of target

The driver must then intervene him/

herself and brake.

•

Automatic standby mode with change of

target

The driver supports are disengaged and set in

standby mode:

when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)

and the driver supports are uncertain

whether the target object is a stationary

vehicle or another object, such as a speed

bump.

•

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there

may be stationary traffic in front.

: Increases the stored speed

When the driver supports are following

another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h

(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a

moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle – the

driver supports will slow down for the station-

ary vehicle.

: Reduces stored speed

Stored speed

when the speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph)

and the vehicle ahead turns off so that the

driver supports no longer have a vehicle to

follow.

Pilot Assist can give steering assistance from

almost stationary up to 140 km/h (87 mph).

Set time interval to vehicle ahead

It is possible to set the time interval to the

vehicle ahead to be maintained by the adap-

tive cruise control*, Pilot Assist* and Distance

Warning* functions.

Note that the lowest programmable speed is

30 km/h (20 mph) – even though it is capable

of following another vehicle down to 0 km/h, a

speed lower than 30 km/h (20 mph) cannot

be selected/stored.

Short presses: Each press changes the

speed in increments of +/- 5 km/h

(+/- 5 mph).

•

Different time intervals to the

vehicle in front can be

selected and shown in the

driver display as 1-5 horizon-

tal lines - the more lines the

longer the time interval. One

DRIVER SUPPORT

The adaptive cruise control allows the time

interval to vary significantly in certain situa-

tions in order to allow the car to follow the

vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. At

low speed, when the distances are short, the

adaptive cruise control increases the time

interval slightly.

given time interval.

•

Only use the time intervals permitted

by local traffic regulations.

•

If the driver supports do not seem to

respond with a speed increase when

activated, it may be because the time

window to the vehicle ahead is shorter

than the set time window.

Automatic braking with driver

support

The driver supports of adaptive cruise con-

trol* and Pilot Assist* have a special brake

function in slow traffic and while stationary.

In certain situations, the parking brake is

applied in order to keep the car stationary.

WARNING

Driver supports only warn of obstacles

which their radar unit has detected –

hence a warning may not be given, or it

may be given with a certain delay.

Never wait for a warning or interven-

tion. Apply the brakes when the situa-

tion requires.

•

Select one of the following options:

Brake function in slow queues and

while stationary

Eco – The driver support focuses on good

fuel economy, which means longer time

interval to the vehicle ahead.

•

For shorter stops in connection with inching in

slow traffic or at traffic lights, driving is auto-

matically resumed if the stops do not exceed

approx. 3 seconds - if it takes longer before

the vehicle in front starts moving again then

the driver support function is set in standby

mode with automatic braking.

NOTE

The driver supports can hold the car sta-

tionary for a maximum of 10 minutes –

then the parking brake is applied and the

function is disengaged.

Comfort – The driver support focuses on

following the set time interval to the vehi-

cle ahead as smoothly as possible.

Dynamic* – The driver support focuses on

following the set time interval to the vehi-

cle ahead more closely, which in certain

cases may mean heavier acceleration and

braking.

Before the driver supports can be reactiva-

ted, the parking brake must be released.

The function is reactivated in one of the

–

following ways:

Press the steering wheel button

Depress the accelerator pedal.

)

In some situations, automatic braking ceases

on coming to a standstill and the function is

set in standby mode. This means that the

brakes are released and the car may start to

roll - the driver must therefore intervene and

brake the car himself/herself to keep it station-

ary.
