Pilot Assist-2*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in
its current traffic lane by providing steering
assistance and maintaining an even speed and a
set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Function
Pilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving on
long trips on highways or other major roads in an
even flow of traffic.
Function overview (generic illustration)
Windshield module containing the camera/
radar sensor
Monitoring distance
Monitoring side marker lines
The driver sets the desired time interval to the
vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors that vehicle
and the traffic lane's side market lines using the
camera and radar sensor mounted in the upper,
center section of the windshield. It helps maintain
the set time interval by automatically adjusting
speed and by providing steering assistance to
help keep your vehicle in the lane.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on
monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead and
the traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver can
always override Pilot Assist and steer the vehicle
to e.g., change lanes, etc.
If the camera and radar sensor cannot detect the
lane's side marker lines, Pilot Assist will tempo-
rarily switch off the steering assistance until the
lane's side marker lines become visible again and
can be detected. However, the function's speed
and distance monitoring will continue to be acti-
vated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist's steering assistance may switch
on or off without warning.
The color of the steering wheel
symbol indicates the current
status of the steering assis-
tance function:
WHITE: steering assistance is
active
GRAY (as in the illustration): steering assistance
is deactivated
