Ov
ertaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate
right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the ve-
hicle and reduce the distance from the vehi-
cle in front. Your set speed will not be excee-
ded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front af-
ter you have changed lane, ACC will acceler-
ate the vehicle up to the set speed.
Overtaking assistance is not available in all
countries.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake the vehicle to a standstill and
keep it stationary. ACC remains active and
the instrument cluster display shows
ACC ready
to start for a few seconds.
On vehicles with Travel Assist, you can extend
this time by continuing to hold the steering
wheel.
As long as ACC remains active, the vehicle
will move off again automatically as soon as
the vehicle in front moves off (depending on
the vehicle equipment level and not available
in all countries).

Oncoming vehicle braking
when turning
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159. The oncoming vehicle braking when
turning function can pre
vent the vehicle
from colliding with an oncoming vehicle
during a turn.
If there is a risk of the vehicle colliding with
an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane
when turning, the oncoming vehicle braking
when turning function can brake your vehicle.
The vehicle can then remain in its own lane
as a result.
Speed range
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available up to around 15 km/h
(around 9 mph).
Limits
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available only if you indicate, have
turned the steering wheel and have therefore
started the turning manoeuvre. After chang-
ing from right-hand traffic to left-hand traf-
fic or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle brak-
ing when turning function is available only
after a certain time (30 minutes or more).
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function does not react to persons, animals,
crossing vehicles or objects that are not de-
tected as a vehicle. Always also observe the
fundamental limits of Front Assist
