cle ahead

vehicle ahead
Distance indicator
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly
as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval to
vary considerably in certain situations. At low
speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead
is short, Pilot Assist increases the time interval
slightly.
•
If Pilot Assist does not seem to react when it
is put in active mode, this may be because
the set time interval to the vehicle ahead
does not allow an increase in speed.
•
The higher the speed, the greater the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead for a given time
interval.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
•
A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-
tion occurs in traffic.

Pilot Assist auto-hold brake
function
At certain speeds, Pilot Assist provides braking
effect.
Stop-and-go driving
During brief stops in slow-moving traffic or att
traffic lights where the vehicle is not stopped for
more than 3 seconds, driving will resume auto-
matically. If it takes more than 3 seconds for the
vehicle ahead to begin moving again, Pilot Assist
will go into standby mode and the auto-hold
brake function will activate.
The driver will then have to reactivate Pilot Assist
as follows:
–
•
Press the button
•
Press the accelerator pedal
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi-
cle ahead if it begins to move within
approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
•
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle station-
ary for max. 5 minutes, after which the
parking brake will be set and Pilot Assist
will go into standby mode.
•
The parking brake must be released
before Pilot Assist can be reactivated.
