DRIVER SUPPORT
328
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated and
put in standby mode if:
•
the brakes are applied.
•
the gear selector is moved to N
•
a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
•
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's
steering assistance will be temporarily deacti-
vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-
ing assistance will be automatically reactivated if
the traffic lane's side markings can still be
detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as Electronic Stability Control (ESC
61
). If any of
these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist
will automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned by an acoustic signal and a message
on the instrument panel.
•
The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby
mode if, e.g.:
•
the driver opens the door.
•
the brake temperature is high.
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel.
•
the parking brake is applied.
•
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
•
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
•
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
•
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snow
or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves
are blocked)
•
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if
the vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is
another object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

mode
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary
depending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
