Steering assistance
The current status of steering
assistance is indicated by the
colour of the steering wheel's
symbol:
• Illuminated steering wheel
indicates active steering assis-
tance.
• Extinguished steering wheel (as in illustration)
indicates deactivated steering assistance.
Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into
account the speed of the preceding car and the
lane markings. The driver can at any time adjust
steering intervention from Pilot Assist and steer
in another direction, e.g. to change lane or avoid
an obstruction on the road. In this case, resis-
tance is felt in the steering wheel as long as
steering assistance is active.
Temporary disabling of steering assistance
When the direction indicators are used, Pilot
Assist steering assistance is temporarily disen-
gaged. When the direction indicator is switched
off, steering assistance is reactivated automati-
cally if the lane's edge markings can still be
detected.
If Pilot Assist is unable to interpret the lane
clearly, e.g. if the camera unit is unable to see
the edge markings for the lane, Pilot Assist tem-
porarily disables steering assistance. Functions
for speed and distance regulation continue to
remain active. Steering assistance is resumed
when the lane can be interpreted again. In these
situations, slight vibration in the steering wheel
may alert the driver to the fact that steering
assistance has been deactivated temporarily.
Round bends and when the road splits
Pilot Assist interacts with the driver, who should
therefore not wait for the steering assistance
from Pilot Assist but should always be prepared
to increase his/her own steering input, espe-
cially in bends.
When the car approaches an exit or if the lane
splits, the driver should steer towards the
desired lane so that Pilot Assist must detect the
desired direction.
Hands on the steering wheel
In order for Pilot Assist to func-
tion, the driver’s hands must
be on the steering wheel. It is
important for the driver always
to carry on being active and
alert when driving as Pilot
Assist is unable to read all sit-
uations and may toggle between off and on
without prior warning.
1. If Pilot Assist detects that the driver is not
keeping his/her hands on the steering wheel,
the system provides a warning by means of a
symbol and text message in the driver display
to encourage the driver to actively steer the
car.
2. If the driver's hands still cannot be detected
on the steering wheel after a few seconds the
prompt to actively steer the car is repeated
supplemented by an audible signal.
3. If Pilot Assist cannot detect the driver's hands
on the steering wheel after a further few sec-
onds the audible signal becomes intensive
and the steering function is deactivated. Pilot
Assist must then be restarted using the steer-
ing wheel button
.
4. In connection with Pilot Assist being
switched off, additional acoustic and visual
