Pilot Assist can help the driver to drive the
car between the lane's side markings using
steering assistance as well as to maintain an
even speed, combined with a preselected
time interval to the vehicle ahead.
How Pilot Assist works
The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended
for use on motorways and similar major roads
where it can contribute to more comfortable
driving and a more relaxed driving experience.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to
the vehicle ahead and detects side markings.

The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist
scans the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the lane's side markings on the road surface
using the camera and radar unit. The preset
time interval is maintained with automatic
speed adjustment whilst the steering assis-
tance helps to position the car in the lane.
If the cornering support
*
function is activated,
this may also affect the speed of the car.
Pilot Assist steering assistance takes into
account the speed of the preceding car and
the lane markings. The driver can at any time
ignore the Pilot Assist steering recommenda-
tion and steer in another direction, e.g. to
change lane or avoid an obstruction on the
road.
If Pilot Assist cannot interpret the lane unam-
biguously, e.g. if the camera and radar unit
does not see the lane's side markings, Pilot
Assist temporarily deactivates steering assis-
tance, but resumes it if the lane can be inter-
preted again - although the speed and dis-
tance control functions remain active. The
steering wheel vibrates slightly when deacti-
vated temporarily in order to alert the driver to
the change.
WARNING
Pilot Assist steering assistance is automati-
cally deactivated and is resumed without
prior warning.
The current status of steering
assistance is indicated by the
colour of the steering wheel's
symbol:
• GREEN steering wheel indi-
cates active steering assis-
tance
• GREY steering wheel (as in illustration) indi-
cates deactivated steering assistance.
