Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
•
The vehicle ahead must be within a reasona-
ble (detectable) distance
•
The camera must be able to clearly detect
the traffic lane's side marker lines
•
The vehicle's speed must be under approx.
30 mph (50 km/h).
A WHITE symbol indicates that
Pilot Assist has been selected.
In other cases, the WHITE
arrow pointing to the right indi-
cates that the system is availa-
ble.
A YELLOW symbol with a flashing WHITE arrow
indicates that the system is about to shift into
standby mode.
With ACC in standby mode:
1. Tap
▶
(6).
> The symbol will be displayed and Pilot
Assist will go into standby mode.
2. Press the
button (2) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible for
steering or applying the brakes if the system
does not detect another vehicle.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving
conditions such as city driving or other heavy
traffic situations, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush on the
road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-
ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-
ramps.
In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot
Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-
tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-
ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of such
situations may be:
•
the lane's side market lines are missing,
badly faded or cross each other.
•
the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,
when a line divides or merges with
another, at exits or if there are many road
signs/markers.
•
there are edges or other lines on or near
the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repaired
areas, sharp shadows, etc.
•
the lane is narrow or winding.
•
the lane is at the top of a hill, on an
uneven road surface or over a bump.
•
bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,
slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot
Assist has the following limitations:
•
High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta-
cles (cones, barriers etc) may not be
detected or could be detected incorrectly
as side marker lines, which may create a
risk of collision. The driver must ensure a
safe distance to these obstacles.
•
The camera or radar sensor may not be
able to detect objects if there are pot-
holes or if there are stationary objects
partially or completely blocking the road.
•
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
•
Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limited
and may not always be able to help the
driver keep the vehicle in the lane.
Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver's
hands are on the steering wheel
, which is con-
tinuously monitored by the system. If this is not
the case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-
sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's hands
are not returned to the steering wheel, an audible
signal will sound.
If the driver does not return his/her hands to the
steering wheel after the audible signal, Pilot
Assist will go into standby mode and must be
reactivated by pressing
.
