Passing Assistance can be used with Adaptive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist*. Several conditions must be met for Passing Assistance to be possible.

To activate Passing Assistance:

  • Your vehicle must be following the vehicle ahead (target vehicle).
  • your vehicle's current speed must be at least 70 km/h
  • The set speed must be high enough to safely pass another vehicle.

To start Passing Assistance:

  • Turn on the left turn signal.
    • Passing Assistance will begin.
  • the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normally occur
  • the vehicle ahead slows before your vehicle has had time to switch to the passing lane
  • traffic in the passing lane slows down

Situations of this type can be avoided by temporarily putting Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.

* Option/accessory.
