Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
•
The driver's seat belt must be buckled and
the driver's door must be closed.
•
There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-
cle) within a reasonable distance or your
vehicle's current speed must be at least
9 mph (15 km/h).
With ACC in standby mode:
1. Tap
▶
(6).
> The symbol
will change to Pilot
Assist in standby mode (8).
2. Press the
button (2) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode and
the current speed will be stored and dis-
played in the center of the speedometer.
or
If Adaptive Cruise Control has been started:
–
Tap
▶
(6).
> Pilot Assist will start.
Pilot Assist's steering assis-
tance is only active when the
steering wheel symbol (2)
changes from GRAY to WHITE.
And Pilot Assist will only regulate the time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead when a vehicle symbol
(1) is displayed above the steering wheel.
At the same time, a speed
interval will be marked.
The higher speed is the one
stored by the driver and the
lower one is the speed of the
vehicle ahead (target vehicle).
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.
