Temporary disabling of steering
assistance with Pilot Assist*
59
Pilot Assist steering assistance can be tem-
porarily disabled and resumed without prior
warning.
When the direction indicators are used, Pilot
Assist steering assistance is temporarily dis-
engaged. When this is no longer the case,
steering assistance is automatically reactiva-
ted if the lane's side markings can still be
detected.
If Pilot Assist is unable to interpret the lane
clearly, e.g. if the camera or radar unit is
unable to see the side markings for the lane,
Pilot Assist temporarily disables steering
assistance – speed and distance regulation
functions 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 deacti-
vated temporarily.

The Pilot Assist function may have limitations
in certain situations.
The Pilot Assist function is an aid which can
help the driver in many situations. But the
driver is at all times responsible for maintain-
ing a safe distance to surrounding objects and
a correct position in the lane.
WARNING
In certain situations, Pilot Assist steering
assistance may have difficulty helping the
driver in the right way or it may be auto-
matically deactivated - in which case, the
use of Pilot Assist is not recommended.
Examples of such situations may be that:
•
the lane markings are worn, missing or
cross each other.
•
lane division is unclear, for example,
when the lanes divide or merge or at
exits or in the event of multiple sets of
markings.
•
edges or other lines than lane markings
are present on or near the road, e.g.
kerbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-
face, edges of barriers, roadside edges
or strong shadows.
•
the lane is narrow or winding.
•
the lane contains ridges or holes.
•
weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,
snow or fog or slush or impaired view
