interrupted for the duration of the acceleration and is resumed
afterwards.

ACC detects driving situations using a radar sensor located at

the front of the vehicle. The range of this sensor is approx. 120m
(approx. 400ft).
When you turn on the left turn signal (or the right turn signal if
driving on the left) to overtake, ACC accelerates the vehicle and
reduces the distance from the vehicle ahead without exceeding
the speed set by you.

carelessly or inadvertently, it can cause accidents and serious
injuries. The system cannot replace the driver's attention.
This overtaking aid is not available in all countries.
