Overtake Assist (OTA)

Extra acceleration when you signal to pass
Official manufacturer dataApplies to: PetrolSource: Petrol handbook p167-168

When ACC is following a slower vehicle and you switch on the indicator, Overtake Assist accelerates the car towards the vehicle ahead to help you change lanes. It works above 43 mph (70 km/h).

It activates when

  • ACC is active and following a vehicle.
  • You switch on the left or right indicator.
  • There's a lane on that side, and it isn't blocked by other vehicles.
  • Your speed is below the ACC set speed.
  • The lane line on the target side isn't solid.

It stops when

  • The indicator is on but lane-change conditions aren't met for more than 6 seconds.
  • You complete the lane change, or don't complete it within 15 seconds.
  • You get too close to the vehicle ahead, or the target lane becomes blocked.
  • You signal the other way.
  • Your speed reaches the ACC set speed.

Other limits

  • The car never goes faster than the ACC set speed.
  • It won't get too close to a vehicle ahead in the target lane.
  • After OTA ends on one side, it can't activate on the other side for 2 seconds.

Note:OTA only adds acceleration – it doesn't steer. You must steer to change lanes yourself.
