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.

get vehicle”)

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

When only one steering wheel is shown,
there is no vehicle within a reasonable dis-
tance ahead.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the setting - the car returns to the last
stored speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.

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.

When the symbol in the driver display
shows two cars, adaptive cruise control is
following the vehicle in front at a pre-set
time interval.

The higher the speed the longer the
calculated distance in metres for a
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.
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.
